Abstract
Mental health is crucial in education, including physical education. No research has yet profiled the mental health of physical education teachers in Indonesia. This study aims to identify and analyze the mental health conditions of these teachers through well-being, psychological capital, and social support profiles. The sample consisted of 248 physical education teachers in Indonesia. Most participants were male (87.9%), aged 21-40 years (54%), with a sports education background (80.2%), state school status (74.2%), a bachelor's degree (85.9%), and over 10 years of teaching experience (56.9%). The instruments used were the MHC-SF (Mental Health Continuum Short Form), with validity ranging from 0.477 to 0.723 and a reliability coefficient of r = 0.899. The PCQ (Psychological Capital Questionnaire) with validity from 0.233 to 0.49 and r = 0.904, and the MSPSS (Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support) with validity from 0.339 to 0.746 and r = 0.885. The results showed that most teachers' mental health was in the moderate category. In conclusion, no difference in well-being was found among teachers (p> 0.005). However, differences in psychological capital were observed between male and female teachers (p <0.05), and social support varied with age, teaching status, teaching experience, and marital status (p <0.05). Further research is needed to explore the causes of these differences to enhance teachers' well-being.
