Stress survey

What is stress?

Stress is our body's response to pressure. Many different situations or life events
can cause stress. It is often triggered when we experience something new,
unexpected or that threatens our sense of self, or when we feel we have little
control over a situation.

Causes of the stress:

Many things that can lead to stress: bereavement, divorce or separation, losing a
job or unexpected money problems. Work-related stress can also have a negative
impact on your mental health. People affected by work-related stress lose an
average of 24 days of work due to ill health.

Even positive life changes, such as moving to a bigger house, gaining a job
promotion or going on holiday can be sources of stress. If you feel stressed in
these situations you may struggle to understand why or be unwilling to share your
feelings with others.

Results:

In this survey 7 out of 7 people answered “True” to question number 1, 6 out of 7

people answered “False” to question number 2, 4 out of 7 people answered “True”
to question number 3, 5 out of 7 people answered “True” to question number 4 and
3 out of 7 people answered “False” to question number 5.

Conclusions:

My conclusion is that not all people are really informed about this common issue
that people suffer nowadays. Even though this is something that is happening right
now in the world, people still not giving the necessary attention this problem
deserves, they are not well informed about this because no one talks about this
and there are lots of disinformation on the internet.
