We explored teachers' emotional reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the association between COVID-19 risk management and these emotional reactions.
We used cross-sectional data from 2665 teachers working at public schools. Participants responded to a questionnaire in May 2020. The analyses were adjusted for sex, age, cohabitation, and region.
Knowledge about adequate test behavior and feeling secure regarding colleagues' actions to hinder spread of virus were associated with less frequent emotional reactions. Lack of access to personal protective equipment and exposure to infected pupils, parents or colleagues were associated with more frequent emotional reactions.
Similar to other groups of frontline employees, teachers experience negative emotional reactions to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gaining knowledge about teachers' worries and fears during pandemics is an important first step enabling leaders and occupational health professionals to address these.
我们探讨了教师对新冠疫情的情绪反应,以及新冠风险管理与这些情绪反应之间的关联。
我们使用了来自2665名公立学校教师的横断面数据。参与者于2020年5月对一份问卷做出了回应。分析针对性别、年龄、同居情况和地区进行了调整。
对适当检测行为的了解以及对同事阻止病毒传播行动的安全感与较不频繁的情绪反应相关。缺乏个人防护设备以及接触受感染的学生、家长或同事与较频繁的情绪反应相关。
与其他一线员工群体类似,教师对新冠疫情会产生负面情绪反应。了解教师在疫情期间的担忧和恐惧是领导者和职业健康专业人员应对这些问题的重要第一步。
