stressinsietokyvystä

Stressinsietokyky refers to an individual's capacity to withstand and manage stressful situations and stimuli. It encompasses both the physiological and psychological responses to perceived threats or demands, and the ability to return to a state of equilibrium afterward. A high level of stress tolerance generally means an individual can experience stressors without significant disruption to their well-being or functioning, whereas low stress tolerance may lead to adverse effects on mental and physical health.

Factors influencing stressinsietokyky are multifaceted, including genetic predispositions, early life experiences, coping mechanisms learned over time, social support networks, and overall physical health. Psychological resilience, a closely related concept, highlights the ability to bounce back from adversity. Developing effective coping strategies, such as mindfulness, regular exercise, and seeking social support, can enhance one's stress tolerance. Conversely, chronic stress without adequate coping can lead to burnout, anxiety, depression, and various somatic complaints. Understanding and nurturing stressinsietokyky is therefore considered an important aspect of maintaining overall health and well-being.
