Abstract

In this essay, we discuss the definition and interpretation of stressors from the perspective of the Neuman Systems Model. A distinctive aspect is the emphasis on the client system’s perception of each stressor as beneficial (positive), noxious (negative), or both beneficial and noxious. The client system’s perceptions of the stressors determine the wellness goals that are needed and guide the selection of necessary prevention-as-intervention strategies for achieving those goals. Several examples of stressors are included, as are two case studies.
