The course acquaints students with stress issues, with its positive and negative effects, with psychological and physical manifestations of stress, and with options to prevent excessive stress. The course covers various sources of stress, including fields of study and work. The course provides theoretical knowledge about stress and its management, but also an opportunity for practical activities that lead to awareness of your own stress and practice effective coping strategies. The course consists of three thematic blocks providing theoretical knowledge to the key areas. To each of them, three practically oriented blocks are linked. Students will read the literature and solve the tasks according to the schedule. The seminars will be focused on reflections of self-experience and discussions of theoretical-empirical publications.
