Stress and Burnout among Working Women: A Study of Female Faculty Members of Visva-Bharati University West Bengal
Stress is the psychological strain or distress
resulting from exposure to unusual or demanding situations, known as stressors. Occupational stress (OS), specifically, is the response to organizational stressors in the workplace environment that pose “a perceived
threat to an individual’s well-being or safety”.
In addition to organizational factors, individual level factors have also been implicated in
stress outcomes, both as contributing factors
as well as moderators of stress (Cullen, 1985). Long term stress can lead to burnout which is conceptualized as a “psychological
syndrome in response to chronic interpersonal
stressors on the job” which arises due to an
imbalance between the demands placed on
individuals and their ability to cope.

Mental Health and Well-Being of Child: A Global Mental Health Praxis
The prevalence and importance of child mental
health problems have been progressively
recognized in recent years. From a historical
viewpoint, child psychiatry, as well as child mental health in general, are relatively recent
fields within health care. While child mental
health issues are essential in their own right,
they frequently lead directly to adult mental
health issues (Patel et al., 2013). For children’s
healthy emotional, social, physical, and cognitive development, psychological wellbeing is crucial, and this is widely
acknowledged. The effectiveness of various
therapies to enhance children’s mental health
and treat mental health issues and disorders
is now well supported by the available research (Wenceslau et al., 2015).
