보육교사의 대인관계 스트레스, 업무 과부하, 급여 만족도가 이직의도에 미치는 영향

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of interpersonal stress, work overload, and salary satisfaction on turnover intention of private child care center teachers with 3 years or less of experience.
 Methods The subjects of 275 child care teachers with less than 3 years of experience working at private child care centers in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do were selected by convenience sampling. The hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to find out the effects of interpersonal stress, work overload, and salary satisfaction on turnover intention.
 Results The results showed that the turnover intention was differed in terms of teacher’s age, marital status, education level, major, age of class. It was analyzed that interpersonal stress, work overload, and salary satisfaction had an effect on the turnover intention of teachers with less than 3 years of experience working in private child care centers. In particular, interpersonal stress was found to have the greatest effect on turnover intention.
 Conclusions The results of this study suggest that in order to lower the turnover intention of child care teachers in private child care centers, it is necessary to find a way to develop communication skills to lower the level of stress from the relationship between the director and parents, reduce the workload, and improve the salary system to a realistic level.

AN OVERVIEW OF ACADEMIC STRESS STUDENTS OF MEDICAL STUDENTS OF MATARAM UNIVERSITY FOR THE 2020 CLASS IN THE PANDEMIC ERA

The Covid-19 pandemic has hit various countries in the world, including Indonesia, which has had a considerable impact on various fields, including the field of education. The government imposed the Large-Scale Social Restriction or PSBB policy solely to reduce the spread of the corona virus so that all activities carried out outside the home must be stopped until the Covid-19 pandemic subsides. As a result, the teaching and learning process must be carried out online from their respective homes in order to minimize the spread of Covid-19. Therefore, first year medical students are more susceptible to stress than second and third year students. This study aims to describe the stress level of pre-clinical first-year medical students at the University of Mataram. This study used a cross-sectional (cross-sectional) research method, namely research conducted by observing for a moment or within a certain period and each study subject only made 1 observation during the study. The number of samples in this study amounted to 115 people. The research instrument used was the Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire. Then the results of research based on the MSSQ questionnaire have 6 domains with stressors that dominate the highest stress levels are academic stressors 62 people (53.91%). In the stress level domain, the most dominant is severe stress with the domain having the highest level of severe stress being the academic stressor domain and the one having the highest light stress being the intrapersonal and interpersonal stressor domain, but severe stress still dominates.

Assessment of Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profiles and Nutritional Knowledge Levels of Pre-Service Physical Education and Science Teachers: A Comparative Study Example

The study aimed to examine pre-service physical education and science education teachers' health-promoting lifestyle profiles, nutrition habits, knowledge of nutrition levels, and their relationships with some demographic variables (gender, department, smoking, physical activity level). The study is a descriptive study conducted in a government university in Türkiye. The samples consisted of fourth-year pre-service physical teachers (N=37) and pre-service science teachers (N=32). Nutrition Habits Assessment Form, Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile II instrument (HPLP II), and Nutrition Knowledge Level for Adults Scale, which consisted of two parts, "Basic Nutrition Scale" and "Food Preference Scale," were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics and parametric tests analyzed data. Considering differences in the physical activity subscale between different departments, a significantly higher score was recorded among pre-service physical education teachers compared to pre-service science teachers. A significantly higher score was observed in the subscales on interpersonal relations and stress management and Basic Nutrition Scale Score among pre-service science teachers compared to pre-service physical education teachers. A significantly higher score was observed in the subscales on physical activity and interpersonal relations among male compared to female students. The HPLP II scores of the pre-service teachers, which exercised three times more than three times a week, were higher than those who egzersize once a week and didn't exercise.

Levels of Burnout and Engagement after COVID-19 among Psychology and Nursing Students in Spain: A Cohort Study.

The COVID pandemic has 0drastically changed the functioning of universities in Spain and may have altered individuals' behaviours and emotions, the way they engage in the learning process and their psychological well-being. Burnout syndrome is a psychological problem that arises from persistent confrontation with emotional and interpersonal stressors. COVID-related burnout among Spanish students has received little research attention. For this study, a pre-post cohort study design was used. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey, the Granada Burnout Questionnaire for university students, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale and the Fear of CoronaVirus-19 scale. The population was composed of two samples of 190 and 226 students from Spanish universities. According to the results obtained, significant differences were observed between the pre- and post-test samples. Levels of burnout were higher after the COVID-19 pandemic and students' levels of engagement have dropped significantly following their experiences of the COVID pandemic. This study shows the impact that the covid pandemic has had on Spanish university students, impacts which may have had important consequences for their mental and physical health. It is necessary to implement intervention programs to enable students to recover, at least, the levels of burnout and engagement prevailing before the outbreak of the pandemic.

Created Environment: Evolution of a Neuman Systems Model Concept.

In this essay, we trace the evolution of the definition of the Neuman systems model concept of created environment from its inception in 1989. The created environment is one of three categories of environment in the Neuman systems model; the other two are the internal environment and the external environment. The most recent definition of created environment is offered in this essay as the following: The created environment is a synthesis of the internal and external environments that encompasses the client system's ever-changing awareness of the physiological, psychological, sociocultural, developmental, and spiritual variables, and the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and extrapersonal stressors as beneficial or noxious. As a protective shield, the created environment represents the client system's perceptions and understanding of what is real and what is safe, as discussed with the nurse.

DAILY ARGUMENTS WITH SPOUSES AND NEGATIVE AFFECT: AGE AND EMOTION WORK AS MODERATORS

Abstract Daily interpersonal stressors, such as arguments with spouses, are predictors for increased negative affect within the literature (Witzel & Stawski, 2021). Emotion work, or activities done to promote another’s positive emotional state, has been noted to have mixed effects on health and well-being (Umberson et al., 2020) and emotion work is more prevalent in times of increased stress (Rao, 2017). Moreover, with old age, individuals experience fewer daily interpersonal stressors (Witzel & Stawski, 2021). Using the 2015 wave of the Health and Relationships Study (Ncouples=756, Mage=48.22, Rangeage=35-65, Mmaritalduration=8.52; Umberson, 2015), we explored 1.) how daily arguments with spouses within diverse marriages were related to negative affect across 10 days and 2.) whether age and emotion work moderate these associations. HARP is a daily diary study exploring marriage and health in same-sex and different-sex marriages. Preliminary results using multilevel models suggest that individuals’ negative affect significantly increased on days they reported spousal arguments. The interaction between spousal arguments and emotion work was significant (p<.05); on days when individuals reported more emotion work, negative affective reactivity associated with spousal arguments was higher, compared to days when less emotion work was reported. No significant age differences were found. Discussion will focus on the import of spousal arguments and emotion work for shaping daily well-being, and their relevance throughout adulthood, midlife, and older age. Future work should explore how being the recipient of emotion work may buffer or exacerbate the associations between daily arguments and negative affect and potential gendered patterning therein.

USING INTENSIVE LIFESPAN DATA TO GAIN DEEPER INSIGHT INTO COPING AND EMOTION REGULATION PROCESSES

Abstract Effective coping and emotion regulation are important for well-being across the lifespan. Successful maintenance or improvement in these processes are often invoked as explanations for age-related stability or enhancement of well-being. In this symposium, we leverage intensive data to gain a deeper understanding of how individuals manage daily emotions and stressors, critically examining evidence for age-related differences and similarities. Growney and English used experience sampling to examine interpersonal emotion regulation in adults aged 25-85, finding a negative association between age and interpersonal emotion regulation strategy use, but evidence suggesting more effective interpersonal emotion regulation in older age. Bellingtier and colleagues present evidence for age similarity in flexible emotion regulation strategy use across hassle domains in an experience sampling study of adolescents and adults aged 14-88, noting that hassle domain differentiation was associated with emotion regulation strategy use. O’Brien and Neupert used daily diaries to examine associations between daily stressor appraisals and affect in adults aged 60-90, identifying daily negative self-views of aging as a moderator which may be particularly consequential in older adulthood. Cerino and colleagues used data from the National Study of Daily Experiences to examine relationships between perceived stressor control and daily affect, highlighting differing findings across domains of interpersonal stressors. Finally, a discussion will center on the value of considering both age-related similarities and differences, age-relevant factors for successful emotion regulation and coping (e.g., negative and positive aspects of social relationships, views of aging), diverse contexts in which these processes occur, and statistical considerations with micro-longitudinal approaches.

"DID I ASK FOR YOUR ADVICE?”: EFFECTS OF ADVICE FROM PARENTS ON ADULT CHILDREN'S DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS

Abstract Studies of intergenerational relations typically conceptualize advice as a positive dimension of exchanges between parents and adult children. In contrast, we suggest that advice may often be a source of interpersonal stress and thus have detrimental effects on psychological well-being. Further, we suggest that these effects vary by race and gender. To address these questions, we use data from 725 adult children regarding advice from mothers, collected as part of the Within-Family Differences Study. Multilevel regression analyses revealed that the impact of receiving advice varied by the combination of gender and race. Among sons, receiving advice predicted higher depressive symptoms, regardless of race. However, receiving advice predicted depressive symptoms among Black but not White daughters. Taken together, these findings question whether advice is a positive dimension of intergenerational interaction and suggest that mothers’ advice may have a negative impact on adult children’s depressive symptoms, particularly for sons and Black daughters.

Perceived Stress and Stressors among Undergraduate Medical Students of a Nigerian Institution.

To identity stressors and measure the intensity of stress perceived by clinical students in a Nigerian institution. This study was a cross-sectional study of fifth and sixth-year medical students using the 40-item Medical Student Stressor Questionnaire (MSSQ). Students marked their responses to each of the 40 questions on a Likert scale ranging from-causing no stress at all (0) to causing severe stress (4). The median stress scores for the six domains were as follows: Academic related stressor (ARS)- 2.1, Teaching and Learning related stress (TLRS)-1.29, Desire related stressors (DRS)- 1.00, Group activities related stressors (GARS)- 1.00, Social related stressor (SRS) - 0.83, and Interpersonal related stressor (IRS)- 0.57. Overall, ARS was perceived to cause high-level stress in 51.6%, and severe stress in 7.8% of students. Specifically, 'Heavy workload' and 'large amount of content to be learnt' caused severe stress in 45.3% and 40.6% of students respectively. Skipping meals was frequent and associated with high stress scores in IRS, SRS and GRS domains. Academic related stressors cause high-severe stress among a considerable proportion of medical students studied, while interpersonal related stress caused mild stress. 'Heavy workload', 'Tests/Examinations', and 'lack of time to review what has been learnt' are some major stressors identified. Universities need to prioritise accessibility to healthy meals, improved students' living environment, provision of psychological support and formal training on time management and other soft skills, to reduce stress and promote better academic performance. There may be a need to review medical students' curriculum to prioritise relevance over breadth of content.

Relationship among interpersonal stressors in adolescence, social support buffers, and obesity in adulthood 14 years later.

Early life stress may be linked to adult obesity. Alternatively, social support can buffer the effects of stress. The study's objective was to examine in a nationally representative sample, whether adolescent interpersonal and financial stress predict later obesity in adulthood and whether social support and social cohesion might buffer this effect. The sample includes 6,504 participants across four waves in the Add Health dataset. Researchers created a structural equation model whereby latent measures of interpersonal stress and financial stress during adolescence were used to predict obesity (Body Mass Index, BMI ≥ 30) at Wave 4, 14 years later. Latent measures of social support and social cohesion were added to observe whether they buffered the effect of stress on adult BMI. Covariates included race/ethnicity, gender, self-rated health, smoking status, and age. In an initial model of interpersonal and financial stressors and covariates predicting BMI, interpersonal stress (p < .001) but not financial stress (p > .05) predicted adult BMI. In the full model including stressors, buffers and covariates, social support (p < .001) and social cohesion (p = .038) negatively predicted adult BMI, and they covaried with interpersonal stress in opposing directions, buffering the effects of interpersonal stress on adult BMI. Stressful interpersonal life events in adolescence such as having family members in jail or being the victim of a crime are linked to adult obesity 14 years later. However, these stress effects are buffered by the effects of social support and social cohesion, which are linked to lower adult BMI. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).

Interpersonal stress mediates the relationship between childhood trauma and depressive symptoms: Findings from two culturally different samples.

Childhood trauma is associated with adulthood depressive symptoms, but very few studies explored potential social and interpersonal mediators behind this association. This study made the first attempt to test the potential mediating effects of interpersonal stress in the associations between childhood betrayal and non-betrayal trauma and depressive symptoms. We analyzed data in a sample of English-speaking adults from diverse backgrounds (from 19 different countries, mainly from Western countries) (N = 468). We then replicated and compared the results with those in another convenience sample of Chinese-speaking younger adults with different cultural backgrounds and mental health status (N = 205). The results in both samples indicated that (1) childhood betrayal trauma had a stronger relationship with depressive symptoms than childhood non-betrayal trauma and that (2) interpersonal stress was a significant mediator in the relationship between childhood betrayal trauma and depressive symptoms, even when childhood non-betrayal trauma was included as a covariate. The indirect effect of childhood non-betrayal trauma on depressive symptoms through interpersonal stress was not consistent in two samples. Our findings point to the importance of taking social and interpersonal contexts into account when investigating, preventing and managing depression in trauma-exposed populations. Early social interventions such as family interventions, interpersonal skills training and building social resources may have the potential to change the trajectory of the development of mental health problems in trauma survivors.

Gender Impact on Diabetes Distress Focus at Medical Communication Concerns, Life and Interpersonal Stress.

along with the rapidly aging population in many countries around the world, the global prevalence of diabetes and suffering from diabetes-related depression have risen in middle-aged and elderly adults. However, given that psychological stress is deeply influenced by culture, gender inequality in these statistics is often exhibited and increases with age. The aim of this study was to explore the gender difference in diabetes distress among middle-aged and elderly diabetic patients. 395 participants from four hospitals were recruited for a cross-sectional survey. The Taiwan Diabetes Distress Scale (TDDS) was used to measure diabetes distress. Linear regression was conducted to assess the gender difference in different types of diabetes distress. there was significant gender difference in each diabetes distress domain. In particular, men who had received diabetes education in the past six months seemed to be more concerned about diabetes complications and felt pressured to communicate with doctors. In addition, women seemed to be more affected by diabetes distress because of their marital status, especially for married women. diabetes distress seems to have significant gender differences; however, more longitudinal research is needed on the causal relationship between gender and diabetes distress.

Identification and assessment of stress and associated stressors among veterinary students in India using a cross-sectional questionnaire survey.

Veterinary education, is a rigorous professional training program, which exposes students to significant academic and non-academic pressures. The identification of stressors and stress levels among veterinary students mighty help the designing and implementation of coping strategies to protect the students' mental health. A 44-item based cross-sectional questionnaire survey was prepared and disseminated among veterinary students in India to identify the stressors responsible, measure the amount of stress, and relate stress to characteristics like gender, degree year, and family income. A total of n = 611 veterinary students across 14 states including 27 colleges/universities participated in the study. The collected data was evaluated for sampling adequacy, construct validity, and reliability using a set of statistical tests. The analysis revealed high sampling adequacy with a KMO value of 0.957 and a highly significant anti-image correlation (p < 0.001). The principal component analysis generated six factors or subscales which effectively explained 51.98% of the variance in the data, depicting high construct validity. The Cronbach's alpha value of 0.957 revealed high internal consistency for the questionnaire. Analysis revealed more than 94% of pupils under stress, with levels ranging from moderate to severe. Academic-related stressor (95.58%) was the leading cause of overall stress in the present study followed by inter- and intrapersonal and career related-stressors (93.12%) and exams and evaluation-related stressor (90.99%). In comparison to male students, female students reported significantly higher levels of overall stress, academic stress, and intrapersonal and interpersonal stress (p < 0.001) using Chi-square. The students from lower-income families experienced significantly higher overall stress as well as stress due to family responsibilities (p < 0.001). The first-year undergraduate students reported significantly higher (p < 0.001) stress due to family responsibilities-related stressors whereas second-year students due to social activities-related stressors. The hierarchal regression model predicted that gender, family income, academic-related stressors, inter- and intrapersonal and career-related stressors, and social activities-related stressors can be employed to evaluate overall stress among students, as they ensured the maximum variance in the data (p < 0.001). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first Indian study to identify stressors, quantify associated stress and predict major attributes to be targeted in future studies for veterinary students.

Hardiness and psychological safety of a teacher in an educational environment

Introduction. In the conditions of emerging psychological threats and risks of the educational environment, the development and formation of the hardiness of a teacher as one of the participants in educational relations becomes relevant. The study of professional hardiness in the system of psychological safety of a teacher and the justification of the means of its support are of particular relevance.Aim. The aim of the study was to identify the characteristics of the hardiness and psychological safety of teachers in the educational environment of the school.Methodology and research methods. The provisions on the social environment as a source of development, the provisions of resource and risk-resource approaches in psychology, theoretical and empirical approaches to the psychological safety of the educational environment were used as subject-scientific guidelines. Psychodiagnostic methods were used: “Psychological Safety of the Educational Environment of the School” (I. A. Baeva), “Hardiness Test” (by S. Maddi, Russian-language adaptation of D. A. Leontiev, E. I. Rasskazova), “The Index of Well-Being” (WHO-5) (Well-Being Index, WHO). The data obtained were processed using descriptive statistics, factor analysis (principal component method, Varimax rotation), correlation and regression analysis.Results and scientific novelty. The conducted research allowed authors to identify four factors of subjectively significant psychological threats to the teacher in the educational environment (social nature, intensity of work, interpersonal relations and digitalisation of education). The authors revealed direct interrelations of the teacher’s satisfaction with the significant characteristics of the educational environment, its reference significance, psychological security with well-being and hardiness; inverse relationships between threats of a public nature and the teacher’s well-being, resilience, psychological safety and reference significance. It was established that the main predictors of the teacher’s hardiness in the educational environment were its reference and subjectively significant threats of a public nature for the teacher.Practical significance. The identified factors of the threats, psychological predictors of hardiness allow us to outline approaches to the development and implementation of psychological and pedagogical programmes to support the hardiness of a teacher, as well as to the introduction into teacher training programmes of methods for teaching interpersonal communication skills, stress management and burnout prevention, contributing to teacher hardiness.

Work stressors and coping strategies of expecting and employed women in Germany: A cross-sectional study.

The current state of research indicates pregnancy-related discrimination as a potential stressor during pregnancy for women at work, which may result in perceptions of occupational stress. The aim of this study was to examine women's perceptions of pregnancy-related stressors at work, problem- and emotion-focused coping strategies as well as attributed consequences for mental, physical and social dimensions. The survey was completed online with a cross-sectional study design. Inclusion criteria for the study participation were being currently pregnant and engaged in paid work (regardless of full-time or part-time work). Women were recruited via social media and with the support of pro familia. Results indicate that 79 (53.4%, n = 148) participating women experienced pregnancy-related stressors at work. The most relevant kinds of stressors were intrapersonal stressors and interpersonal stressors related to employers or colleagues. The most prevalent coping strategy was to seek social support or advice from gynaecologists. Attributed physical consequences were exhaustion, fatigue and sleeping disorders. Mental health consequences were named in terms of feeling emotionally upset and having fears related to the baby's health. Family-friendly support policies need to be further developed and topics like pregnancy-related stressors need to be addressed in an occupational context. Especially the perspective and knowledge of employers on the topic needs to be strengthened, e.g., to ensure an ongoing communication between employers, HR and employees during pregnancy. Further research is needed which provides representative data, analyses employer's experiences and their attitudes in managing pregnancies as well as consequences for women when returning to work.

Adolescent girls' cardiovascular responses to peer rejection: exploring the impact of early life stress.

Detrimental effects of early life stress on cardiovascular health are evident in adolescence. Cardiovascular reactivity and recovery in response to interpersonal stress may be a mechanism. This study aimed to evaluate if adolescent girls with higher early life stress demonstrated greater cardiovascular reactivity and slower recovery to peer rejection. A sample of 92 adolescent girls (age: M = 13.24) self-reported early life stressors. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were continuously measured before, during, and after a laboratory peer rejection paradigm. Counter to hypotheses, adolescent girls with higher early life stress had lower, not higher, HR during the recovery period. Early life stress was not associated with SBP or DBP recovery. Additionally, early life stress was not associated with SBP, DBP, or HR reactivity. Future research is needed to assess if blunted cardiovascular reactivity to interpersonal rejection during adolescence is a mechanism linking early life stress and later cardiovascular disease risk in women.
