CHAPTER EIGHT Stress and Physical Health CHAPTER OUTLINE Defining Stress Symptoms of Stress Diagnosis of Stress and Physical Illness Psychological Factors in Some Familiar Illnesses Cardiovascular Disease 1

2 OVERVIEW Stress: any challenging event that requires physiological, cognitive, or behavioral adaptation Medical scientists now view every physical illness from colds to cancer to AIDS as a product of the interaction between the mind and body. Behavioral medicine A multidisciplinary field that includes both medical and mental health professionals who investigate psychological factors in the symptoms, cause, and treatment of physical illnesses DEFINING STRESS Stress as a Life Event Stress is an event that requires physiological, cognitive, or behavioral adaptation. Holmes and Rahe s (1967) Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SRRS) Assigns stress values to life events based on the judgments of a large group of normal adults Views stressors that produce more life change units as causing more stress DEFINING STRESS Stress as Appraisal of Life Events Richard Lazarus s(1966) definition of stress The individual s appraisal of a challenging life event Primary appraisal: evaluation of the challenge, threat, or harm posed by an event, and Secondary appraisal: assessment of our abilities and resources for coping with that event (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984) 2

3 DEFINING STRESS Walter Cannon ( ) First stress researcher that recognized the adaptive, evolutionary aspects of stress Viewed stress as the activation of the fight or flight response Survival value Fight or flight is a maladaptive reaction to much stress in the modern world. SYMPTOMS OF STRESS Psychophysiological Response to Stress Adrenal Hormones When a perceived threat registers in the cortex, it signals the amygdala corticotrophinreleasing factor brainstem sympathetic nervous system adrenal glands Norepinephrine and epinephrine Rush of adrenaline SYMPTOMS OF STRESS Psychophysiological Response to Stress Immune System Responses Release of cortisol and CRF also causes immunosuppression, the decreased production of immune agents Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) investigates the relation between stress and immune function. Short-term stressors and physical threats enhance immune responses. Stress impairs immune responses. 3

4 FIGURE 8-1 The Physiology of the Stress Response DEFINING STRESS Psychophysiological Response to Stress Cannon stated chronic stress overwhelms the body s homeostasis Illness and Chronic Stress Hans Selye ( ): general adaptation syndrome (GAS) consists of three stages: Alarm occurs first and involves the mobilization of the body in reaction to threat. Resistance comes next and is a period of time during which the body is physiologically activated and prepared to respond to the threat. Exhaustion is the final stage, and it occurs if the body s resources are depleted by chronic stress. SYMPTOMS OF STRESS Psychophysiological Response to Stress Coping Problem-focused coping involves attempts to change a stressor. Emotion-focused coping is an attempt to alter internal distress. Predictability and Control Both dramatically reduce stress. Even the illusion of control can help to alleviate stress. 4

5 TABLE 8-3 Coping Tendencies of Optimists and Pessimists OPTIMISTS Information seeking PESSIMISTS Suppression of thoughts Active coping and planning Giving up Positive reframing Self-distraction Seeking benefit Cognitive avoidance Use of humor Focus on distress Acceptance Overt denial FIGURE 8-2 Direct and Indirect Effects of Stress on Physical Illness SYMPTOMS OF STRESS Health Behaviors Any action that promotes good health. Balanced diet, regular sleep, and exercise, as well as avoiding unhealthy activities like cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and drug use Following Medical Advice Illness behavior: increased stress is correlated with such illness behaviors as more frequent visits to physicians. 5

6 SYMPTOMS OF STRESS Health Behaviors Social support in humans predicts improved immune, cardiovascular, and endocrine functioning. Cultural differences Asians and Asian Americans benefit from implicit social support such as focusing on valued social groups during times of stress. Explicit social support such as seeking advice and emotional solace does not buffer stress for Asians, whereas it does for European Americans. DIAGNOSIS OF STRESS AND PHYSICAL ILLNESS The DSM-IV-TR does not distinguish psychosomatic disorders from other physical illnesses. Contemporary Approaches When a physical illness is the focus of treatment, the diagnosis of psychological factors affecting medical condition is used on Axis I. In DSM-IV-TR virtually any physical illness can be coded on Axis III, general medical conditions. THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN SOME FAMILIAR ILLNESSES Cancer Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality in the United States today, accounting for 23% of all deaths. Psychological factors also are at least modestly associated with the course of cancer. Stress also may directly affect the course of cancer. 6

7 THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN SOME FAMILIAR ILLNESSES Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Behavioral factors play a critical role in the transmission of HIV. High-risk behaviors: Contact with bodily fluids, intravenous drug use Stress is linked with more rapid progression of HIV. Social support is associated with a more gradual onset of symptoms. FIGURE 8-3 The 15 Leading Causes of Death in the United Stated in 2000 THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN SOME FAMILIAR ILLNESSES Pain Management Pain can be useful, but is not always adaptive. Reports of greater pain are associated with depression and anxiety. Higher levels of positive affect predict lower levels of reported pain. Treatments include hypnosis, biofeedback, relaxation training, and cognitive therapy. Each approach has some research support, but pain reduction is typically modest. 7

8 FIGURE 8-4 Reports of routine pain intensity increase with age but are not strongly associated with gender. THE ROLE OF PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS IN SOME FAMILIAR ILLNESSES Sleep Disorders Two types of primary sleep disorders are listed in DSM-IV-TR. Dyssomnias: difficulties in the amount, quality, or timing of sleep Primary insomnia, narcolepsy, breathing related sleep disorder, and circadian rhythm sleep disorder Parasomnias: characterized by abnormal events that occur during sleep, e.g., nightmares Sleep Disorders PRIMARY INSOMNIA Difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or poor quality sleep Lower ratings of subjective well-being Treatments: stimulus control, resetting circadian rhythms PRIMARY HYPERSOMNIA Excessive sleepiness characterized by prolonged or daytime sleep In some ways, similar to narcolepsy 8

9 Sleep Disorders BREATHING-RELATED SLEEP DISORDERS Sleep apnea: obstruction of the respiratory airway CIRCADIAN RHYTHM SLEEP DISORDER Mismatch between the patient s 24-hour sleeping patterns and their 24-hour life demands that cause significant life distress CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE The number-one killer in the United States. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of disorders that affect the heart and circulatory system. The most important of these illnesses are hypertension, or high blood pressure, and coronary heart disease (CHD). The most deadly and well-known form of coronary heart disease is myocardial infarction (MI), commonly called a heart attack. Hypertension increases the risk for CHD, as well as for other serious disorders, such as stroke. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Symptoms of Hypertension and CHD The silent killer Systolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure Hypertension is defined by a systolic reading about 140 and/or a diastolic reading about 90 at relaxed state. The most notable symptom of CHD is chest pain. 2/3 of all deaths from CHD occur within 24 hours of a coronary event. 9

10 CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Diagnosis Of CHD Myocardial infarction and angina pectoris are the two major forms of coronary heart disease. Secondary hypertension Results from a known problem such as kidney or endocrine disorder Essential hypertension Diagnosed when the high BP is the principle or only disorder CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Frequency of CHD The death rate due to CHD has declined by 25% or more in the US and Japan. Risk Factors for CHD Men: twice as likely to develop CHD as women Sex differences are even greater with more severe forms of the disorder. Age is another major risk factor. For men, risk for CHD increases in a linear fashion, increasing age after 40. For women, risk for CHD accelerates more slowly until they each Copyright menopause Pearson Education and 2011 increases sharply afterwards. Why is coronary heart disease a lifestyle disease? The risk for CHD is two to three times greater among those who smoke a pack or more of cigarettes a day. Obesity, a fatty diet, elevated serum cholesterol level, heavy alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise also increase the risk for CHD. 10

11 CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE Causes of CVD Biological Factors in CVD Deprivation of oxygen to the heart muscle Myocardial ischemia Atherosclerosis Coronary occlusion Psychological Factors in CVD Stress Psychologial Factors CARDIOVASCULAR REACTIVITY TO STRESS Different people exhibit different cardiovascular reactivity to stress, greater or lesser increases in blood pressure and heart rate when exposed to stress in the laboratory. LIFE STRESSORS AND CHD: JOB STRAIN Increased rates of CHD are found among people with high-stress occupations. What appears to be most damaging is job strain, a situation that pairs high psychological demands with a low degree of decisional control. Psychological Factors TYPE A BEHAVIOR AND HOSTILITY Competitive, hostile, time urgent, impatient, and achievementstriving style of responding to challenge Superachiever DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY Depression is three times more common among patients with CHD than in the general population, and depression doubles the risk for future cardiac events. 11

12 PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS Social Factors Friends and family member can encourage a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle Interpersonal conflict Economic resources, being married, and having close friends are examples of ways to buffer CHD Societal norms and cultural values CARDIOVASCUAR DISEASE PRIMARY PREVENTION Encouraging healthy behaviors: quit smoking, eat well, exercise Media campaigns increase awareness, but their ability to reduce incidence of heart disease is unknown. SECONDARY PREVENTION Stress management Coping skills Weight reduction Decreased alcohol use Reduced intake of salt Biofeedback CARDIOVASCUAR DISEASE Prevention and Treatment of CHD Tertiary Prevention Tertiary prevention of CHD targets patients who have already had a cardiac event, typically a myocardial infarction. The most effective programs are both structured and individualized for each patient. Type A behavior can be modified, and this may reduce the subsequent risk for CHD. 12
