ABSTRACT
Stress is very difficult to define, as it is such a vague word and everyone inter prets it differently. Stress is equivalent to a person’s perception of the pressure upon them, or the ‘three-way relationship between demands on a person, that person’s feelings about those demands and their ability to cope with those demands’.1 In other words, a particular event or task can be very stressful for you on one day but not on another - all depending on how you are feeling and what other pressures are being exerted on you.
