Knowledge of stress, health and control belief for primary health care

Se realizó una revisión sobre la relación del estrés, salud y creencias de control para la Atención Primaria de Salud, resaltando que el estrés es una condición que de no abordarse adecuadamente sus síntomas producen una serie de trastornos en el individuo, repercutiendo en la salud de este, pudiendo crearse diversos problemas como conflictos, insatisfacciones y dificultad en su desenvolvimiento social. Es decir, el estrés se nos presenta como un fenómeno que representa un modo particular de relación del hombre con el entorno, que tiene diferentes "grados" que se distinguen por la intensidad de las vivencias emocionales presentes, su carácter placentero/displacentero; la magnitud de la estimulación que el sujeto recibe de manera pasiva; o por conllevar una respuesta fisiológica, más o menos específica y que de acuerdo a las creencias de control, son los recursos internos y externos con que cuentan los sujetos para afrontarlo y que de ser adecuados atenuarían los daños a la salud. Este último aspecto nos motivó, por su gran valor, a la actualización en el tema para el equipo básico de salud, donde a partir de su comprensión permitirá el desarrollo de estrategias de intervención que logren atenuar sus efectos sobre la salud de los individuos y familia.
