To identify changes in work-related psychological attitudes that influence mental health improvement in school teachers after participation in a psychological group program.
In an exploratory study with N = 544 matched cases we combined a screening instrument for general mental health (GHQ) with measures of work-related behavioral and experiential patterns (AVEM). We compared four GHQ change types pre and post intervention with regard to their performance on eleven sub-scales that figure as professional resources. Factors that showed significant relative changes and thus (likely) contributed to improved health status were identified by means of pairwise t-tests and corresponding effect sizes.
Decreases in willingness to work to exhaustion (VB), in striving for perfection (PS), and in the tendency for resignation in the face of failure (RT), as well as an increase of distancing ability (DF) and of inner calm and balance (IR) appear to be the main factors influencing health improvement in the intervention. Simultaneously, an increase of satisfaction with life (LZ) is observed.
The balanced use of professional resources is a critical ingredient in maintaining teachers' health. Adjusting the balance between commitment and resistance through factors found in this analysis help teachers in maintaining and strengthening resilience. The coaching program addresses these factors by focusing on personal attitudes and good interpersonal relationships in the school environment.
识别影响学校教师心理健康改善的与工作相关的心理态度变化，这些教师参与了心理团体项目之后。
在一项有 544 例匹配病例的探索性研究中，我们将一般心理健康（GHQ）的筛查工具与工作相关的行为和体验模式（AVEM）的测量相结合。我们比较了干预前后四种 GHQ 变化类型在十一个作为专业资源的子量表上的表现。通过配对 t 检验和相应的效应量，确定了表现出显著相对变化的因素，这些因素可能对健康状况的改善有贡献。
工作到筋疲力尽的意愿（VB）、追求完美（PS）和面对失败时的辞职倾向（RT）的降低，以及距离感能力（DF）和内心平静与平衡（IR）的增加，似乎是干预中影响健康改善的主要因素。同时，生活满意度（LZ）也有所增加。
专业资源的平衡利用是维持教师健康的关键因素。通过分析中发现的因素来调整承诺和抵制之间的平衡，可以帮助教师保持和增强适应力。该辅导计划通过关注个人态度和学校环境中的良好人际关系来解决这些因素。
