Transactional Model of Stress and Coping

Stress and Coping are things that everyone gets, but also everyone does differently. What might be stressful for you might not be worrying at all to someone else. Coping is similar to stress because everyone who has stress must cope with it. And everyone copes differently. The transactional model of stress and coping theory involves evaluating harm, threat and challenges that result in the process of coping with stressful events.

This relates to the patient experience because it is an example that all patients are different. However, most doctors are the same. So ask yourself what makes doctors similar and what makes patients so different? And how can we use this to make communication between doctors and patients in America a more comfortable process.
