Hubungan Antara Tekanan Kerja dan Kesihatan Mental Dalam Kalangan Guru Sekolah (The Relationship between Work Stress and Mental Health among School Teachers)
Abstract
Nowadays, the various changes that have taken place in the education system in Malaysia have had an impact on the mental well-being of teachers. This situation can be seen as there is an increase in the number of teachers who choose to retire early because they are burdened with pressure involving their work as an educator. In this connection, the study was conducted to identify the level of stress in the work of teachers and the mental health of schoolteachers. The study was also conducted to find out about the correlation between work stress and mental health among schoolteachers. This study applies the design of quantitative methods and uses survey questions as a study instrument. Respondents of this study involved 50 people consisting of schoolteachers in the Seberang Perai Tengah district of Penang. The results of the study found that the teacher's work stress level was at a low stress level. Whereas for mental health, depression records low levels, anxiety records low average levels, and stress also records low moderate levels. For the correlation found there is a significant link between work stress and mental health among schoolteachers. It is hoped that the findings of this study will contribute scientifically to addressing the stress of work among teachers in Malaysia.
Dewasa ini, pelbagai perubahan yang berlaku terhadap sistem pendidikan di Malaysia sedikit sebanyak telah memberikan kesan terhadap kesejahteraan mental para guru. Situasi ini dapat dilihat dimana berlakunya peningkatan jumlah guru-guru yang memilih untuk bersara awal kerana dibebani dengan tekanan melibatkan pekerjaan mereka sebagai seorang pendidik. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini dilaksanakan untuk mengenal pasti mengenai tahap tekanan kerja guru dan tahap kesihatan mental guru sekolah. Kajian ini juga dilaksanakan untuk mengetahui mengenai hubungan korelasi antara tekanan kerja dan kesihatan mental dalam kalangan guru sekolah. Kajian ini mengaplikasikan reka bentuk kaedah kuantitatif dan menggunakan soal selidik sebagai instrument kajian. Responden kajian ini melibatkan seramai 50 orang terdiri daripada guru-guru sekolah di daerah Seberang Perai Tengah, Pulau Pinang. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa tahap tekanan kerja guru berada pada tahap tekanan rendah. Manakala bagi kesihatan mental, depresi mencatatkan tahap rendah, anzieti mencatatkan tahap sederhana rendah dan stress juga mencatatkan tahap sederhana rendah. Bagi hubungan korelasi didapati terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tekanan kerja dan kesihatan mental dalam kalangan guru sekolah. Diharapkan dapatan-dapatan daripada kajian ini dapat memberikan sumbangan dari segi ilmu pengetahuan dalam menangani isu tekanan kerja dalam kalangan guru-guru sekolah di Malaysia.
