Psychological Well-Being in Elementary School Teachers

Abstract

It is the responsibility of educators to mentor and assist students as they learn and develop behaviors that will help them succeed. Teachers' mental health frequently suffers as a result of the workload they bear in order to support students' achievement. Teachers' psychological health may be impacted by this. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the psychological well-being dynamics of an elementary school teacher in the Surabaya city. Twelve primary school teachers served as the subjects of this qualitative study. Three procedures were used to analyze the data: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drafting. The study's findings indicate that Surabaya's elementary school teachers' general psychological health falls within the "good" range. Additionally, out of all the dimensions, the dimension of having positive interactions with other people is the highest. In the meantime, there are two moderate elements of psychological well-being: personal progress and life purpose. The study's conclusion is that in order for the on-duty teachers to properly carry out their duties, the school must continue to support a number of psychological well-being characteristics.
