SCOPE: The term stress may be defined as a process that involves complex biochemical, physiological, behavioral, and psychological dimensions, which are directly or indirectly related to health. (Colman, Andrew M., Companion Encyclopedia of Psychology) Stress management programs have been developed to help reduce stress that causes such stress related illnesses as hypertension, headache, increased risk of coronary disease, and gastro-intestinal problems. The purpose of this pathfinder is to serve as a guideline for student research.
