Stressors are external factors orevents that trigger a stress response in individuals. These stressors can be anything from tightdeadlines, workload, interpersonal conflicts, or even environmental factors like noise ortemperature. Stressors are objective in nature, meaning they are the circumstances that exist andcan be measured or observed, though individuals may experience them differently.Stress, on the other hand, is the psychological and physiological reaction to the stressors. It is thebody's response to pressure or demands, often involving feelings of anxiety, tension, orirritability. Stress is the immediate emotional and physical reaction to the stressor. When stress ischronic or prolonged, it can lead to strain, which is the negative, harmful outcomes of the stressresponse. Strain refers to the long-term physical, emotional, or behavioral consequences ofenduring stress. This could include burnout, fatigue, depression, or health problems likehypertension.
