Keywords college students; Stress management; Pressure source
At present, China is in a period of rapid economic development and rapid scientific and technological progress, and the society is complex and changeable, full of opportunities and challenges. As a special group bearing high hopes of society and parents, college students have a strong desire to grow into talents, but their psychological development is not yet fully mature and stable. The development of economy and society, the change of living environment, the problems encountered in the process of growth, the fierce competition in job hunting and employment, and the implementation of various reform measures involving the vital interests of college students have all made college students a high-pressure group in our society at present. How to effectively manage the pressure of college students plays a very important role in promoting national talent training.
First of all, understand stress theoretically.
1, pressure
The word pressure was originally put forward as a physical concept to indicate the force acting on the surface of an object. [1] In 19 15, cannon first quoted the word stress in the field of psychology to express the ability of external factors to cause internal balance disorder. [2] Stress, also known as stress in western psychology, refers to the feeling that an individual's body and mind feel their own importance when encountering some kind of opportunity or threat, but they cannot effectively grasp or confront it. [3]
2. stressors
With the deepening of the understanding of stress, researchers have made a conceptual distinction between stress and stressors. Pressure source generally refers to some kind of force that acts on the system and causes it to deform obviously, such as physical force, psychological force and social force. Zheng and others divide the stressors of middle school students into seven dimensions: learning problems, teachers' problems, family environment problems, parents' education methods, classmates' friends' relations, social and cultural problems and their own physiological and psychological problems. [4][5] Zhang Lei and others divide the stressors of college students into five aspects: future, study, personal daily life, economy and interpersonal relationship [6].
Second, the stressors of college students
This paper mainly analyzes the stressors of contemporary college students from external factors. Specifically, it is divided into study pressure, life adaptation pressure, interpersonal pressure, personal development pressure and family expectation pressure.
1. learning pressure: learning is the most basic task of college students. Although the intensity of this pressure is relaxed and will not change forever, its influence cannot be underestimated because of its long duration. In particular, many college students must further create conditions and make further efforts to meet the needs of fierce social competition. Too many study projects and heavy study tasks have brought great pressure to college students.
2. The pressure of changing living environment: the changes and conflicts of social environment, campus cultural environment, living environment, learning environment and interpersonal relationship will bring various adaptation problems to college students. It is embodied in four aspects: first, the pressure of role change; Second, the pressure of objective natural environment changes; Third, the pressure of different living habits; Fourth, from the withdrawn behavior life mode to the pressure of communication with people.
3. Interpersonal stress: College students inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people at school, and their relationships are different. They may be classmates who have met once, lovers who are deeply in love, organizers of activities, earnest teachers, and selfless parents. All kinds of relationships need to be treated in different ways, which has never happened in their previous lives. However, compared with the people who interacted before, the people who interacted during college came from all corners of the country and were in the youth stage, so it is inevitable that there will be some friction at ordinary times. Therefore, the pressure of interpersonal relationship has increased a lot invisibly.
4. Stress of love: College students are at the age of 18 ~ 22 and have a good yearning for love. Many college students have been in contact with or are experiencing love. However, many schools and families still oppose college students' love, which has caused great pressure on college students' love. The financial burden in the process of love is also an important source of stress for college students.
5. The pressure of employment: The pressure of employment can also be regarded as the biggest and most serious stressor for college students at present. Employment determines the development direction of college students' life to a certain extent. College students who have great expectations for their families and society attach great importance to employment. However, since the nationwide enrollment expansion, the employment pressure of college students has been increasing. At the same time, due to the irregular behavior of the job market, college students have to contact the unit in many ways, which is in a long waiting period, which is easy to produce psychological anxiety and cause great pressure on college students. [7]
Third, stress management strategy.
1. Clarify the learning responsibility and face the academic competition correctly: the school should do a good job in guiding the college career planning of freshmen, and students should also understand their responsibilities and grasp their studies well, so that the two can promote each other. Students should first realize that the university itself is a place to implement higher education, and all the students who can come here have achieved staged success in high school. Therefore, we should treat the fierce competition in university study correctly.
2. Correct the concept of interpersonal communication: college students come from all corners of the country, and regional differences have caused cultural differences, which will inevitably lead to contradictions in daily life. Correctly treating these contradictions is the key to dealing with the relationship between classmates.
3. Treat feelings correctly and establish a correct view of love: love during college should be the purest but mature love in life. But we can't face love with a correct attitude. Either the supervisor separates personal development from the result of love and faces love with an irresponsible attitude, or he is too addicted to intimacy with children and full of fear of future instability. Schools and families should actively guide students to establish a correct concept of love and rationally coordinate the relationship between feelings and development.
4. Change the concept of employment and improve the comprehensive quality: the fundamental reason for the difficulty of college students' employment is that they have not changed the traditional concept of employment. College students all hope to find high-paying and decent jobs in big cities, but such job opportunities are limited after all. At the same time, employers are strict in employing people and the employment competition is fierce. Universities must correctly guide students to change their employment concepts and try to find jobs with the mentality of an ordinary employee. On the issue of employment, the comprehensive quality of students is the key. Colleges and universities should strengthen the cultivation of college students' innovative thinking and increase the training of job hunting skills. [8]

Keywords higher vocational colleges; The pressure of students; stress management
With the development of education in China, a large number of young people with aspirations have entered the university gate with their dreams. The ensuing problems of life, study and employment make most college students feel pressure. It is found that the pressure in the university environment has caused many students to have serious psychological problems. ① How to correctly understand the sources of college students' stress and guide students to master the correct methods of stress management, so as to move towards the society and enter the unit more freely has become the most important thing for educators to reflect and summarize today.
1 pressure overview
1. 1 pressure definition
Psychologist R.Lazarus defines psychological stress as a special relationship between the client and the environment, which is a state in which the client thinks that his burden is too heavy or exceeds his own, endangering his happiness and satisfaction. ? ② Stress is generally divided into three aspects: (1) Stress is caused by pressure events or environment; (2) Stress refers to a subjective reaction or mentality, which is an explanatory, emotional and defensive reaction process in the human body; (3) Stress may be a physiological and behavioral response to needed invasion or injury. (3) In other words, stress is a subjective feeling, accompanied by physical and mental reactions to stressful situations. ④
1.2 pressure characteristics
(1) is obviously situational and highly personalized. (2) Indirectness. The influence of stress on us is indirect and works through some intermediate variables. Such as cognitive evaluation, personality factors and social support factors. ⑤(3) adaptability. Moderate pressure can stimulate people's fighting spirit and improve people's efficiency. However, once the stress is too great and exceeds people's endurance, it will endanger people's physical and mental health.
1.3 Sources and types of college students' stress
College students are a group with high social knowledge and great pressure. According to the main sources, the pressure of college students can be divided into: adaptation to the university environment, conflict between ideal and reality, coordination between interpersonal and emotional, and the dilemma of further education and employment.
(1) adaptation to the university environment. Facing the brand-new campus culture and regional culture, freshmen will encounter different degrees of adaptation obstacles. Among the freshmen, some people are living away from home for the first time. How to use the monthly living expenses reasonably and how to live independently are puzzling these students. (2) The conflict between ideal and reality. A considerable number of students in higher vocational colleges will choose passive adaptation at the initial stage of enrollment because they have not been admitted to undergraduate colleges. Some of them concentrate on their studies and continue the learning mode of high school, while others completely lose their motivation to learn, trying to find sustenance outside school and get rid of school life. All these have a negative impact on students' all-round development and campus management. (3) Interpersonal emotional coordination. Most students have heard of it before or after entering school. Love is a compulsory course in college. ? In fact, it is not only the pressure of falling in love between boys and girls, but also the pressure of getting along with classmates in dormitory, which is often the hottest and most concentrated problem in psychological counseling centers in colleges and universities. (4) The dilemma of further education and employment. Entering the university gate, autonomous learning has replaced cramming education, and students can arrange their own study plans. However, in the first semester, due to the overload of professional basic courses and the lack of independent learning experience, it is impossible to effectively coordinate the relationship between clubs and learning, and a large area of failure will occur. Red lights hung one by one, which cast a shadow over later college life. In higher vocational colleges, sophomores and juniors are faced with the choice of major adjustment, and a large number of students will have anxiety one or two months before the major adjustment exam every year. At the same time, students who didn't take the entrance examination are also worried about their jobs after graduation. Many higher vocational colleges have high-risk and high-pressure jobs, and they have to apply for corresponding professional qualification certificates, which have caused students to have a lot of anxiety during their career choice at school.
2 stress management
2. 1 stress management overview
Stress management is the process of adjusting people's stress level to the best point to achieve the best performance, while avoiding psychological and physical injuries related to excessive stress. ⑥ Stress management strategies in higher vocational colleges should be effectively implemented from three perspectives: schools, teachers and students.
2.2 stress management strategy
2.2. 1 Create a friendly campus environment
Beautiful campus landscape can meet the needs of students, promote spiritual development, relieve psychological pressure, cultivate sentiment, invisibly enhance students' sense of belonging and reduce their sense of inferiority. ⑦ Higher vocational colleges should also adhere to it? Student-oriented? Create a suitable soft and hard environment on campus. With the expansion of teaching scale, many schools are building new campuses in the suburbs of cities to prevent the back hills from turning into slopes and the clear water pools from turning into stinking ditches. In addition, for the daily management of students, commendation is the main thing, supplemented by punishment. In order to improve the style of study, many higher vocational colleges will publicly criticize students who skip classes and stay overnight on a large scale, and often the bulletin boards every week are full of various warnings and punishments. This will make the campus accumulate negative energy and desensitize to punishment, which is not conducive to the cultivation of students' positive style of study. Advocate the school to commend the excellent style of study, encourage students to be proactive, transmit positive energy on campus, create a friendly and positive soft environment, and promote students to correctly understand themselves, establish harmonious interpersonal relationships and have a healthy emotional life. ⑧
2.2.2 Develop an independent curriculum plan.
Different from undergraduate colleges, higher vocational colleges are more inclined to the latter in cultivating students' scientific research ability and application ability, which requires the courses of higher vocational colleges to be closer to students, life and the times. Compulsory professional basic courses should be more professional elective courses. Guiding students to make effective career planning, choosing their own professional direction, and transforming forced heavy schoolwork into independent and relaxed hobbies will greatly reduce students' psychological burden and alleviate the sense of powerlessness brought about by further studies and employment.
Of course, it has become the knowledge of every educator to improve students' stress management ability by carrying out mental health courses. Here, we advocate collocation? Coping with setbacks? 、? Stress management? Special lectures on mental health, mental health activity month, etc. , you can also offer courses such as college students' psychology and life, interpersonal psychology, stress and adjustment. The research shows that these activities can help college students maintain their mental health in the face of employment situation, cultivate their good psychological quality of self-reliance, self-improvement and self-discipline, and exercise their social communication ability, so that they can make correct choices for their roles in the ever-changing and developing environment, dare to face difficulties, setbacks and challenges, pursue a more perfect personality, and lay a solid psychological foundation for future career success. ⑨⑩
2.2.3 Establish a complete psychological crisis prevention system.
With the increase of the number of college students, the psychological crisis system, which originally relied on joining in the crisis, has been greatly challenged. It is necessary to establish an all-round crisis prevention system including consultation center, psychological files, psychological monthly survey, crisis early warning and intervention. bowknot
At present, almost every university has established a mental health or psychological counseling center, but few students enter the center to solve psychological problems. On the one hand, it is necessary to improve the center facilities, establish a team of psychological counseling teachers, and equip them with perfect pressure venting rooms, music relaxation rooms and group counseling rooms. On the other hand, increase the propaganda of mental health, encourage students to enter the psychological center and solve psychological problems with the help of professional teachers.
In addition, a sound mental health screening system is also very important. After freshmen enter school, they can conduct mental health surveys, such as using Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Questionnaire and Life Events Scale, to screen out students who may have psychological problems or have experienced major trauma in their lives. The class psychological committee will report the mental health status of the class every month and collect the key events that have troubled students in recent days, which will reduce the invasion of pressure on students to some extent and reduce the occurrence of campus tragedies.
2.2.4 Encourage teachers' humanistic care.
It is often said that the university campus is half a society. ? Compared with middle schools, universities will meet more different people, many practical problems will surface, and competition will become cruel, but it will not be as ruthless as big society. This requires teachers to pay attention to all students, visit classrooms and dormitories regularly, and participate in student activities so that every student can live and study healthily and actively on campus. Caring for students with financial difficulties, giving them appropriate pensions and reducing the pressure brought by tuition fees; Care for students with difficulties, special care for students with potential psychological problems, and regular spiritual communication to relieve students' psychological pressure.
Higher vocational colleges should strengthen humanistic care for students, create harmonious teacher-student relationship, teacher-student relationship and student-student relationship, and thus create a good caring atmosphere. In this atmosphere, students' subjective consciousness can be awakened, their personality can be respected, their personality can be perfected, their difficulties can be solved, their hearts can be pinned, their freedom can be guaranteed, and students can always feel happy, happy to study and grow up healthily. tapir
2.2.5 Training students' stress management skills
As the carrier of campus culture in colleges and universities, college students have strong acceptance ability, but due to lack of social experience, their self-adjustment ability is weak in the face of pressure. Therefore, students are required to recognize the essence of stress events, confirm their ability to deal with problems, find reasonable solutions to stress, and be good at using effective resources around them to solve stress problems. After positioning yourself correctly, actively seek the goal of life, don't forget about further studies and employment, and make unremitting efforts to realize the ultimate ideal.
In addition, in addition to learning cultural knowledge, we should also cultivate our extracurricular hobbies and participate in more community activities. On the one hand, the combination of work and rest is conducive to the relief of stress; On the other hand, it is more conducive to the all-round development of self.
To sum up, students in higher vocational colleges are troubled by the pressure of adapting to the university environment, the conflict between ideal and reality, the coordination of interpersonal and emotional, and the difficulties of entering higher schools and employment. Educators in higher vocational colleges should create a friendly campus environment, make independent curriculum plans, establish a complete psychological crisis prevention system, encourage teachers' humanistic care, cultivate students' stress management skills and carry out effective stress management, so as to promote the healthy development of students' body and mind and cultivate innovative talents with excellent practical ability and healthy psychological quality in the new century.
