Abstract

Stress Management with Islamic and Psychological Approach this article discusses stress management with an Islamic and psychological approach. Stress can be experienced by everyone regardless of socioeconomic background. If stress causes a person to suffer from both physical and mental disorders, such as nausea, diarrhea, anxiety, decreased memory, and fatigue, then this includes negative stress termed distress. Stress that causes an increase in achievement motivation and performance, resulting in innovation and creativity, is called positive stress named eustress. The stress that requires management is the one that has a negative impact (distress) for those who experience it so that it is not prolonged and has a more serious impact. Various approaches and strategies are offered by experts to manage stress such as physiological, psychological and religious approaches. This study offers two approaches in managing stress, namely: (1) Islamic approach through remembrance, prayer, reading the Qur'an, and (2) psychological approach, namely time management, relaxation, meditation. These approaches have been empirically tested and proven effective in reducing stress experienced by individuals or groups.
