title: [Prevention and treatment of stress].
abstract: Prevention of stress should address the stressors and factors which modify the effect of these. At the community level legislation and agreements on the labour market are important tools. At the enterprise level policies to reduce stress and monitoring the psychosocial work environment has the first priority in prevention. Treatment of stress is often a long-term process involving diagnostic assessment, psycho-education and counselling.
