According to the recent theories, stress is not conceived as a stimulus neither as an answer, but as an interaction. Psychosocial and biological variables mediate the relationship between the demands of the environment and the resources that the individual perceive to possess to respond to them.
Knowledge of stress models and of the neurophysiology of stress response, coupled with the evidence of an immune system stress response, will contextualize the relationship between stress and disease.
Habits, health behaviors and other coping strategies which influence resilience to stressful situations can shape prevention and intervention programs, giving consistency to the proposals discussed.
Learning the signs and symptoms of burnout and understanding the impact of this entity in physical and psychological well-being will enable students to develop the ability to signal and intervene in populations at risk, suggesting the development of coping mechanisms complemented by psycho and pharmacotherapeutic approaches.1.a Physiology of stress - neuroendocrinology and neuroimmunology of stress
