Stress is a person's reaction when facing a problem that requires a person to adapt. According to the WHO World Health Organization, stress is a natural human response when facing pressure or changes in life.
The impact of stress not only affects mentally but affects physiologically, this reaction is shown by a red face, paleness, weakness, rapid heartbeat, trembling, stomach ache, dizziness, body stiffness and cold sweat (Aryani, 2016). If stress continues over the long term, it can result in increased stomach acid production, such as gastritis.
Data from WHO (2020) ulcer sufferers aged 25 to 34 years are 0.1%, sufferers Gastritis at the age of 35-54 is 0.2 sufferers gasritis aged 55 to 74 is 1.4% and There are as many ulcer sufferers aged 75 and over 12.2%. In a person's productive age range suffer from stomach ulcers due to a lifestyle that does not pay attention to health, causing stress (Mustika, 2021).
Apart from that, the nervous system in the brain is unbalanced which has an impact on hormonal changes in the body which can stimulate excessive production of stomach acid, this condition causes the stomach to feel sore and bloated. The influence of irregular eating patterns and work demands causes gastritis.
In research (Muliani, 2021) where 24 are shown (68.6%) respondents experienced stress and as many as 26 (74.3%) respondents experienced occurrence of gastritis. This condition too strengthened by other research from (Saroinsong, 2014) of which there are 46 (75.4%) respondents experienced an incident gastritis and as many as 49 (75.4%) respondents experiencing gastritis.
Based on explanation, it shows that stress causes the risk of producing gastritis through physiological changes, nervous imbalance, poor diet and high work demands. Therefore, its hoped that individuals can reduce gastritis by maintaining diet, exercising, meditating and getting enough rest so that individuals can carry out their activities well.
