A series of studies have suggested that teachers are likely to experience professional burnout in various regions around the world. To date, no known research has been conducted to investigate the prevalence and correlates of burnout among preschool teachers in China. This study examined the level of self-reported burnout and correlates of burnout among Chinese preschool teachers.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among1795 preschool teachers in Tianjin, China, during August 2018-October 2018. The validated Chinese version of the 15-item Maslach Burnout Inventory was used to assess burnout. A self-administered questionnaire collected the sociodemographic factors. The psychological factors were collected by the Chinese version of the 20-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) and the Perceived Stress Scale-14.
The prevalence of burnout in Chinese preschool teachers was 53.2% (95% CI:51%─56%). Burnout rate was significantly decreased in overweight (P = 0.001, OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.42-0.79) and obesity (P = 0.048, OR = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.56-1.00) teachers compared with teachers with normal weight. The type of school (P = 0.007, OR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.11-1.91), income satisfaction (P = 0.001, OR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.53-0.86), depression (P < 0.001, OR = 3.08, 95% CI: 2.34-4.05) and perceived stress (P < 0.001, OR = 1.15, 95%CI: 1.13-1.18) were significantly associated with burnout.
The prevalence of burnout among preschool teachers in Tianjin, China, is high. Burnout was significantly associated with BMI, the type of school, income satisfaction, depression and perceived stress among Chinese preschool teachers.
一系列研究表明，世界各地的教师都有可能经历职业倦怠。迄今为止，尚未有研究调查中国幼儿园教师倦怠的流行率及其相关因素。本研究旨在调查中国幼儿园教师的倦怠水平及其相关因素。
2018 年 8 月至 10 月期间，对中国天津的 1795 名幼儿园教师进行了横断面研究。采用经过验证的 15 项 Maslach 倦怠量表中文版评估倦怠。通过自填式问卷收集社会人口学因素。采用中文版 20 项流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）和感知压力量表-14 收集心理因素。
中国幼儿园教师的倦怠发生率为 53.2%（95%CI：51%-56%）。与体重正常的教师相比，超重（P=0.001，OR=0.58，95%CI：0.42-0.79）和肥胖（P=0.048，OR=0.75，95%CI：0.56-1.00）教师的倦怠率显著降低。学校类型（P=0.007，OR=1.45，95%CI：1.11-1.91）、收入满意度（P=0.001，OR=0.67，95%CI：0.53-0.86）、抑郁（P<0.001，OR=3.08，95%CI：2.34-4.05）和感知压力（P<0.001，OR=1.15，95%CI：1.13-1.18）与倦怠显著相关。
中国天津幼儿园教师的倦怠发生率较高。倦怠与 BMI、学校类型、收入满意度、抑郁和感知压力在中国幼儿园教师中显著相关。
