Confinement, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, could have problems on the mental health of the population. Teachers responsible for giving distance courses during this period could be psychologically stressed. The aim is to assess the magnitude results of burnout and associated factors among primary school teachers in Kenitra in Morocco during this confinement period.
This is a cross-sectional study, which was conducted during the two months of April and May 2020. Burnout was evaluated by the Maslach Burnout Inventory MBI with 16 items, specific to the context of Moroccan teachers and the factors of stress were assessed using a questionnaire developed by the research team. We used the Chi-square test to determine the association between two qualitative variables anda logistic regression for an overall statistical analysis.
The average age was 38.6 ± 9.9 years. The MBI revealed that 68 teachers (54%) were victims of burnout, of which 47 (38%) had a low level; 15 (12%) had a moderate level and six (5%) had a severe burnout. Logistic regression analysis has shown that the risk factors for burnout during this confinement period are: the use and development of skills in new information and communication technologies (p<0,05); work/family conflict (p<0,05); social support (p<0,05); and the workload related to distance education (p≤0,05).
In light of these results, interventions aimed at promoting mental well-being teachers during and after confinement should be implemented immediately.
由于 COVID-19 大流行,禁闭可能会对民众的心理健康产生问题。在这段时间内负责远程课程的教师可能会承受心理压力。目的是评估摩洛哥肯尼特拉市小学教师在这段禁闭期间倦怠的严重程度及其相关因素。
这是一项横断面研究,于 2020 年 4 月至 5 月两个月进行。使用 Maslach 倦怠量表 MBI(16 项)评估倦怠,使用研究团队开发的问卷评估应激因素。我们使用卡方检验确定两个定性变量之间的关联,并使用逻辑回归进行总体统计分析。
平均年龄为 38.6 ± 9.9 岁。MBI 显示,68 名教师(54%)倦怠,其中 47 名(38%)为低度倦怠;15 名(12%)为中度倦怠;6 名(5%)为重度倦怠。逻辑回归分析表明,在这段禁闭期间倦怠的危险因素是:使用和发展新的信息和通信技术技能(p<0,05);工作/家庭冲突(p<0,05);社会支持(p<0,05);与远程教育相关的工作量(p≤0,05)。
鉴于这些结果,应立即实施旨在促进教师在禁闭期间和之后心理健康的干预措施。
