本文是以幼兒園現職教師身心健康發生異常之個案為例,主要探討造成幼兒園教師身心健康異常之相關因素,同時瞭解壓力對教師身心健康的影響。研究方法採個案研究法(case study),個案是北部地區公立國小附設幼兒園2位身心疑似異常之教師為研究對象。研究結果得到4點啟示:(1)幼教工作繁雜,易使幼兒園教師產生壓力,教師應使自我具備更多正面思考。(2)瞭解同儕間不同特質的教師,調整自己與其他教師的相處模式。(3)學校行政單位應居中了解並協助教師處理身心健康的問題。(4)職前溝通技巧訓練。本文研究結果對於現職幼兒園教師及相關行政人員,提供一些思考的議題及作法供參考。
This study aims to discuss factors causing kindergarten teachers mental and physical illnesses. It primarily investigates factors related with such illnesses, as well as how stress affects a teacher's body and mind. Two cases are studied, both of which involve two current kindergarten teachers who have developed symptoms of abnormal health. The two subjects are teachers in affiliated kindergartens of the public elementary school board. Conclusions are as follows. First, teachers should try to think positively because working at kindergartens is very stressful due to the heavy workload and various tasks involved. Second, teachers should realize that different co-workers have different personality traits, and then adjust their ways of communicating with them accordingly. Third, the school administration should do its best to understand and help teachers with their health issues. Fourth, pre-job training on communication skills is important. Hopefully, the results of this study can provide current kindergarten teachers and the administrative staff concerned with some new perspectives and potential solutions for future reference.
