Culture of peace and stress management through Neural Stimulation

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present the results of the qualitative-quantitative research that reflects the reception of the workshops of the Neural Stimulation technique in the educational community of the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH), given to provide participants with alternatives to face the impact of stress on their lives, as well as to generate knowledge to recommend the implementation of this technique, as an accessible mechanism to respond to the escalation of violence and its impact on the educational environment. The motivation for the development of the workshops is found in the interest shown by the students, mostly in the Careers of Psychology, Medicine and Nursing. The findings reflect that the expectations of the assistants are centered in first place, in being able to learn or reinforce knowledge about how to improve their physical, mental and emotional health; and second, to understand the emotions and feelings of others. Structural violence is perceived above all as a lack of opportunity, poverty and injustice. The most frequent indicators of stress are excessive worry, tiredness, lack of energy or concentration, and anxiety.
