It has been analysed that, stressors majorly gets stress whenthere is a desire of physical or psychological demands. It is being found that majorly peopleconsider stress is something that happens to them, an event such as a harm or encouragement.Whereas other people have kept there thinking as stress is being considered as psyche and ourbehaviour in response to an event. When something happens to an individual, his/her reflexaction start evaluating the situation mentally. Person tries to get over a decision, if it isthreatening to him/her. If the person gets to the conclusions that the demands of the situationovershadow the skills that he/she is carrying then, circumstances of “stressfulness”. On the otherhand, it is being found that if an individual would not keep his/her focus over feelings then itmay lead person to neglect number of chances of getting into stress. Some situations in life arestress-provoking, but they are our thoughts about situations that determine whether they are aproblem to us or not. In home care settings, it is being found that health of people which hasbeen impacted by stress is taken as a crucial concept to study because usually service takers areof old age and they wants full attention of family rather than a person who is getting paid fordelivering services to the individual who is a patient.
