Problem and its background

I. Introduction

A person who suffers stress is people who has a problem and be unable to solve. They

are being stress because of thinking what to do to solve it. Sometimes stress went bigger and

become depression that causes people to become problematic person. Being stress doesn’t just

affect emotional aspect, it is along with diseases it also affect physical resulting of weakness of

body or fragility, head ache, weight loss and many more.

According to Ulrich (2017) Stress is an organism’s response to a stressor such as an

environment condition. Stress is the body’s method of reacting to a challenge. Stimuli that alter

an organism’s environment are responded to by multiple system and hypothalamic- pituitary –

adrenal (HPA) axis are two major system that respond to stress. The sympothoadrenal medullary

(SAM) axis may activate the fight or flight response through the sympathetic nervous system,

which dedicates energy to more relevant bodily system to acute adaption to stress, while the

parasympathetic nervous system returns the body to homeostasis. The HPA axis regulates the

release of cortisol, which influence many bodily function such as metabhl psychological and

Immunological functions. The SAM and HPA axis are regulated by a wide variety of brain

religions including the limbi system prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus, and stria terminalis.
Common stressor in each people life. As a people, it is impossible to not experience stress; it is

common because of challenges or problems in life.

There’s so many kind of stressors. According to Elliot and Eisdorfer (2017) there are

five types of stress labeled “acute time limited stressor, brief naturalistic stressor, stressful even

sequence, chronic stressor and distant stressor. The acite time limited stressor involve short term

challenges, while on the other hand, brief naturalistic stressor involve an event that occur, and

continue to yield stress into the immediate future. Chronic stressor and distant stressor is a

stressor that isn’t immediate.

What are the coping strategies that might do to stop stress? We all know that stress arises

because of family life, job drama with friends, relationship status a financial problem. However

stress has advantage it can make people physically and mentally grow, but prolonged stress can

lead to headache and health problems that affect the way of your living, that is why this study

shows how to relieve stress in several way.

In order to relieve stress; People must make ways to oppose the body’s stress response so

that it can allow your body to relax. Know the kind of thinking that leads to stress so you can

avoid it.Be a positive person, because positive thoughts lead to positive mood state, when it

comes that your feeling down, makes your negative thoughts transform into positive.

And lastly avoid stress as long as you can, staying away from what is stressing you out,

and if you know that it can lead you to feel stress cut it off or cut them out of your life. In

summarize to avoid getting stress, be a person with a positive outlook, no matter the challenges

or problems you’re encountering just take it easy just smile and laugh! Don’t let stress manage

you! Let you manage yourself to avoid stress. This study focuses on the common stressors that
the student of Pioneer High School may encounter and their copping strategies to overcome or

surpass it.

Students in Moises D. Fernandez sr. Pioneer High School Inc. only. The study would focus on

how they conquer their problems about being stress in school, what are the reasons of it and

1.6 Definition of Terms

Common stressor - defined as the most reason why peoples are suffering stress. According

to Eiji (October 2006) stressor is a chemical or biological agent environment condition,

external stimulate or an event that causes stress to an organisms. Like for example, traffic,

loss of key, divorce, etc. Common stressors that people suffered are maybe in simple way

but it can make them problematic person that causes a not good life.

Coping Strategies – Coping strategies refer to the specific efforts, both behavioral and

psychological, that people employ to master, tolerate, reduce, or minimize stressful events. (

MacArthur SES & Health network). It may be done by simple way, because it is just a

matter of making a way in order to overcome the problem, or challenges that peoples

experience resulting of making them stress.

 Chapter 2

1. Related Literature

Students have a unique cluster of stressful experience; their academic performance can be

affected by many factors. Bernstein et al (2008) define the sources of stress as every

circumstance or events that threaten to disrupt people’s daily functioning and causes them to

make adjustment. Similarly Phinney and Haas (2003) stressed out source of stress more

specifically as a unique set of stressful encounters among the students which includes difficult

financial challenge, domestic responsibility, and responsibility relates to holding a job while in

school and a heavy academic load. Students have so many factors as a sources of stress they are:

Procrastination, Examination, Missing lectures, and frustration due to misunderstanding.

Procrastination, as they say, is the thieve of time; one that is very common among lot of students

is procrastination. It is the avoidance of doing a task which needs to be accomplished.

Procrastination is the act of accomplishing more pleasurable things set up of less pleasurable

one or completing less critical errands rather than more pressing ones, this is manner of putting

of approaching assignment to a late time. When student keeps doing this they lose that particular

task or assignment and once they loss of interest sets in stress following up since they will be

thinking how to meet up the deadline for the assignment or task. Examination, periods for

examination cause so much stress than one can imagine. Examination is the only means for

student to prove that they deserve a better grade for a course and due to these student thinks a lot

and also revise everything they have learnt during the whole period of the class, In doing so,

some students get confused about some topics they located and others also don’t know where to
begin their studies from. The thought of this stuff makes them frustrated and confused which at

the long run stress them up. Missing Lectures, it.is the desire of students to miss lecture or skip

school, although some students wake up and decide to miss lectures or school, other also have to

do that due to circumstances beyond their control. When some students miss class or lecture

they become disturbed and worried especially of the course is on they have difficulty in

understanding. When this happen, they start to wonder how they will make up for the lesson

they lost so as they will be on the same pace with their fellow colleges in school. The thought of

thinking ways to make up with lesson which they have issues in become a burden and stress

them up beyond imagination. Frustration due to misunderstanding , a lot of students get

frustrated when they don’t understand what is being tough by the teacher in class . Some also

miss interprets what the teacher said in different way of meaning. This frustration leads students

being stress. And aside from that Stress is an interesting word. Most of the people have no

difficulty saying when they are under stress and attributing all problems to stress. But

Educationalists and Psychologists have considerable difficulty in defining stress and have

tended to avoid the concept, as it is too global. Stress combines the external stimulus, the life

events and the host of individual responses to the stimulus, such as anxiety or depression.

Stress regulation in students is important for understanding the development and prevention of

psychopathology. Research evidence suggests that cumulative life stress increases risk for

emotional and behavioral problems, such as negative views of the self, problematic

interpersonal relationships and stressful life experience. These developmental costs of emotional

distress then put students at risk for further symptoms and lifetime difficulties.

Stress may be considered as any physical, chemical or emotional factor that causes bodily or

mental unrest and that may be a factor in disease causation. Physical and chemical factors that
can cause stress include trauma, infections, toxins, illnesses and injuries of any sort. Emotional

causes of stress and tension are numerous and varied. If stress disrupts body balance and

function, then is all stress bad? Not necessarily. A mild degree of stress and strain can

sometimes be beneficial. For example, feeling mildly stressed when carrying out a project or

assignment often compels us to do a good job, focus better and work energetically. Stress may

be induced from different sources:

(i) Interpersonal issues causing Stress:- There are several interpersonal situations causing stress.

In close interpersonal relations deep emotions are involved. Inherent to the ancient Indian

system of education has been its healthy teacher-student bonding. But with the expansion of

education, there seems to be a change in the present scenario. Large class strength and

unrealistic workload on teachers in the schools in India are the major causes of lack of healthy

personal communication between teachers and the students.

(ii) Personality related Stress:- the personality characteristics of an individual to a large extent

are responsible for appraising a situation as stressful or otherwise (fear of failure, committing

mistakes). An individual’s value system is closely related to feeling of guilt and feeling of ‘not

being good enough’. The change in the role of the Indian women, who is now ‘career-centric’ is

resulting in role conflict in marriages – a mismatch between the career demands and traditional

family values. Coping is management of stress or it can be explained as a process to overcome

stressors i.e. demands made on an individual. According to Lazarus (1974), in stress literature,

the word coping has two connotations: (i) It denotes the way of dealing with stress and (ii) The

effort to master the conditions of harm, threat or challenge when a routine or automatic response

is not readily available.

Whether the stressful experiences have negative physical and psychological effects, depends

upon the individual handling of the situation or the use of coping strategy. Those who develop a

general resistance can withstand stress and cope effectively. Stress is important for our survival.

It affects the individual and the organization too. Sometimes it is stimulating and also beneficial.

‘Each individual needs a moderate amount of stress to be alert and capable of functioning

effectively in an organization’. It is only when stress becomes excessive that individuals develop

various symptoms of stress that can affect their performance and health and even threaten their

ability to cope with the environment. Coping is considered as an important resource that can

help individuals to maintain psychological adaptation during a stressful episode.

Some measures which could prove beneficial in coping with stress among the student-teachers

are suggested which are; Promote and share collective responsibility, Life security. Let each

student-teacher justify his / her moral decisions. Expectations from the teachers/parents should

not exceed the available resources and material. Justifiable balance between the priorities, time

management. Create the environment conductive to research. Develop a good sense of humor.

Improve self-esteem. Develop effective communication.

Gab – Bride

Researcher Related Literature focuses the stressors which are mostly happen on a school,

while the researchers study focuses not only on school but in their life as a student. Then both of

them have the same coping strategies in order to relief from being stress. It just, Related

Literature study is deeper than the researcher study but the content of the two are just the same

because both of them are seeking about the common stressors and coping strategies of a student.

Research Methodology

This chapter presents the description of the research design, the population and samples of

the study, sampling procedure, research instruments, the data-gathering techniques, data

processing and the statistical treatment of the data.

Research Design

This study is primarily a quantitative research with the normal survey method which is

descriptive, specifically to know what are commons stressors and the copping strategies of the

students in grade 11 of Moises D. Fernandez Sr. Pioneer High School.

Population Sampling

Respondents in this study were twenty two (22) student composed of, chosen from grade

11 of Moises D. Fernandez Sr. Pioneer High School, school year 2017/2018 who were

interested to be interviewed about their common stressors and coping strategies using the paper

questioner. They were chosen as respondents of the study since they are the persons involved in.

Research Instrument

The Research instrument that used in this study was a survey questioner, Survey questioner

use to know or investigate the common stressors and their coping strategies as they are studying.

This questioner is made up of seven (7) items by the researcher and it’s about the perception of

the respondent in grade 11 students of Moises D. Fernandez Sr. Pioneer High School Inc.
Data Collection

The questioner were distributed to the respondent on the 2nd week of December and it is to

be collected again on the last day of 2nd week of December because the respondents have just

one (1) day to answer the questioner and after that researcher will collect or retrieve the

questioner for the data needed in the study.

The following processes are;

 first students do a questioner about finding what are the common stressors and coping

strategies of the respondent

 to be followed by choosing the appropriate question related to the problem,

 the next is, questioner are to be collected and answered by the respondent,

 and when it’s done it will be collected by the researchers and make an analysis of it and
lastly make the statistical treatment of data.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data collection were classified, tabulate, and coded for analysis using sample

statistic such as frequency count and percentage , this research use the statistical technique using

a simple way which is tally , to find the frequency of the total no. of respondent that uses in

finding the percentage of it.

The formula of finding the percentage is

P= F/N x 100
Where P is to Percentage and F is to Frequency and N is to Number of respondents to be

multiply to 100, the statistical of this study is pretty simple because it just find the highest and

lowest count of percentage on the result to the survey questionnaire, to find it, first researcher

know the total frequency of the result for example out of 22 respondent only 11 chose the

answer so the frequency is 11 and the total number is 22 , to start to find the percentage the

researcher divide 11 to 22, so it will be written like this 11/22 to be followed by multiplying the

answer of it to 100, so .50 x 100 equals to 50.00 to be converted to percent it will be 50 %. That

is the very basic statistical tool that being use in this study.

Data Interpretation

In the table of common stressors it is seen that there has a big different on the result. The

Top 3 reason among female students of being stress are distance from the school, family issue,

health issues and grades while the Top 3 reason among male students of being stress are

financial, homework’s, exam and distance from the school, the only one that the both of them

has is distance from the school, the rest are different. Base from the result female student on
grade 11 are more emotional than male, that’s why they are being stress, it is stated because

according to the result they get stress because of family and health issue, and that two mostly

affect the emotional aspect of a person, maybe whenever they have family problem and unwell

health on one of their member they always think of it so they are being stress, they think what

to do to resolve it and unfortunately they can’t so the result is they become stress person,

unlike male student on grade 11 base from the result they get stress whenever they are getting

hard on their study, because exam and homework are usually happened in school, when the time

comes that they have unfinished homework or getting hard on the exam the stress comes to their

life. But it is not just male student of grade 11 get stress because of study, female also because

base from the result they get stress because of grades, so it means it is when they got a bad

grade, because there is no reason to become stress if they have good grade. Connected to being

stress because of study is financial problem and that is also one of the reason why male student

on grade 11 get stress, maybe when they run out of money and affect their study they become

stress person, because money is so important in terms of studying and the last thing makes both

of them stress is distance from the school, it is because they get tired on walking going to school

or they expend more money uses on traveling big reason to become stress. But when the results

of female and male student on grade 12 are combined the top 3 stressors of them are distance

from school, family issues and financial problem.

About coping strategies it is seen that there also have a big different on the result. The

top 3 coping strategies of female students are listening to music, go online, play games while the

male top 3 coping strategies are listening to music, talk to parent, friends and family member

and lastly read book and stress eat/ comfort eat. listening to music has both of them, and aside

from that listening to music is the coping strategies that has the highest result of both of them, so
the majority of the student on grade 12 tend to listen music in order to remove the stress in their

life, maybe because they get relax whenever they listen a music, so that’s why it is the first thing

done by them in order to get rid of being stress. Play games is also one of the coping strategies

that the both of them has, maybe playing games whatever the games they played they forget

their problem so the stress comes out to their life. Eating foods makes male grade 11 students

stress free, whenever they stress they eat foods base from the result, they also talk to their

parents or even just friend because if you have someone to be talk with you will be getting

better, so that is male grade 11 student of pioneer high school doing it. How about the female?

Base from the result aside from listening to music, and play games they also go online, like

instagram, facebook, tweeter and youtube in order to be stress free. And the top 3 of combined

result of male and female grade 11 students to cope their stress are listening to music, go online

and lastly play games. In this data interpretation it is clearly stated the result of the interview

that done on answering the questionnaire by grade 11 student that are being written by the

researcher.
