Keywords:
Psychological health,, occupational stress,, educators mental healthAbstract
Teachers play an essential part in society since it is their job to mold the brains of students who will become members of subsequent generations. Nevertheless, the teaching profession is linked to high levels of occupational stress, which may have adverse impacts on the mental health and well-being of those who work in the field. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the mental health of school teachers in South Delhi, India, as well as the levels of occupational stress they experience, and to compare these factors depending on a variety of demographic factors. The research was carried out in South Delhi since it is a densely populated region with a high concentration of schools. The purpose of the research was to acquire insights into the levels of mental health issues and occupational stress that are experienced by teachers in this environment. The Occupational Stress Index and the General Health Questionnaire-28 were the two standardised measures that were used in this research to determine the participants' levels of psychological health as well as their degrees of occupational stress. It is critical to have an understanding of the mental health of educators as well as the levels of occupational stress they experience in order to design effective treatments to improve their well-being. The results of this research might be helpful for policymakers and educators in designing and implementing interventions that meet the particular requirements of school teachers in South Delhi. The study was conducted in South Delhi.
