Weather of Arabia - With the onset of the Corona pandemic, most people took their precautions by taking more firm and committed measures to protect themselves from infection, but after long months of stone these procedures may decrease and people become more easy to deal with precautions.

 

Why might people stop cautioning about the Corona virus and become easier to take precautions?

 

This negligence that some people may suffer is due to an unintended phenomenon known as " caution stress" , and the reason for this is the mind.

 

Corona was initially a new and urgent threat to the mind. Make you watchful and keep up with ways to avoid infection with the emerging SK virus. Motivated by human instinct to preserve the self

 

But after months of commitment and stone, this emergency feeling may have faded. Caution stress "occurs when people show less incentive to comply with safety guidelines, according to Jacqueline Golan, a psychiatrist and behavioral sciences at the School of Medicine at Northwestern Feinberg University of Medicine.

 

"This is reflected when our patience is exhausted with the warnings, or when we believe the warnings are not true or not relevant, or we remove the emphasis on the actual danger. By doing this, we stop following safety behaviors such as hand washing, wearing masks, and spacing," said Golan. Social, "citing CNN.

 

Corona infections exceed two million in America, and deaths exceed 112,000

 

Why does the phenomenon of "caution stress" or quarantine fatigue occur?

The phenomenon of "caution stress" occurs; For several reasons, including: chronic stress, decreased sensitivity to warnings and the inability to process new information with others.

 

How can we combat the phenomenon of "caution stress" or quarantine fatigue?

Quarantine fatigue can be combated through self-care, conversations with loved ones, and the transformation of the way of thinking so that following the instructions seems rewarding rather than frightening.

 

Golan indicated that fatigue may be caused by decreased sensitivity to repeated warnings.

The amygdala, the brain region that records fear, is active when we see or hear any threat, in which case information about the pandemic. When our brains recognize the threats, fear is transmitted throughout the body by stress hormones and the sympathetic nervous system.

 

After the brain alarm system is launched, the body prepares to sort itself and answer questions like, "Do I get more groceries today?" Or "Do I meet my friends?"

 

The hippocampus region of the brain helps assess the context of the perceived threat and whether it is real.

Realizing control, as a way to manage threats, can make you more confident about the things that once scared you, because you are assured that you are safe now, just like watching a horror movie for the second or third time, it is not as scary as watching it for the first time.

 

"People may assume that it is not important, such as not seeing any sick person around them, or not knowing what is happening, why do they care about it? Therefore people may assume a sense of confidence or a sense of control over confronting perilous situations," Golan explained.

 

Our brains modify alert perception to reduce pressure, so it takes longer to respond to or ignore the warning. So, you may sanitize only some but not all of the grocery products or wash your hands occasionally instead of washing them frequently.
