A Study on Coping Strategies of Stress Management Among Teaching Faculties of Higher Education

This study explores the ways teaching faculty members in higher education universities cope with stress. It focuses on identifying the common stressors they face in their work environment and examines the strategies they use to manage stress. The research includes surveys and interviews with university professors to gather insights into their experiences. The goal is to understand how different coping techniques—such as time management, seeking social support, or practicing relaxation methods—help reduce stress and improve overall well-being. The findings of this study can assist in developing better support systems and resources for teachers to manage stress effectively in their professional lives. The findings reveal that most faculty members rely on a mix of problem-solving and emotional-focused coping techniques. Some prefer active methods like prioritizing tasks and setting clear goals, while others use emotional support from colleagues and family members to deal with stress. The study emphasizes the importance of providing adequate resources, such as stress management workshops and counselling services, to help teachers cope more effectively.
