work-related stress can have alarming physiological and psychological health impacts, which may permeate into personal and professional contexts. Teachers need to be supported to develop the skills and strategies to effectively identify how stress manifests and how to use simple, practical techniques to manage and reduce the impact of stress. Complementary interventions (CIs) for educators may provide stress management and assist with supporting wellbeing at the individual level.
the convergent mixed-methods study included participant reflections, self-report measures for perceived stress, mindful attention awareness, and subjective wellbeing and biological measures (salivary cortisol levels).
inductive thematic analysis and mixed-methods case study design.
the participants shared that they experienced benefits in personal and professional contexts, behavioural changes, increased awareness of the impact of stress, and a decrease in the stress response. The participant reflections provided contextual information surrounding the self-report and biological measures. The inferences generated were reflected in both datasets. The findings supported the proposed model linking the mechanisms present in the techniques from the system of yoga and the dimensions of wellbeing.
the findings suggest that a CI for educators may provide strategies for supporting wellbeing and assisting with stress management.
与工作相关的压力会对身心健康产生惊人的影响，这些影响可能会渗透到个人和职业环境中。教师需要得到支持，以培养有效识别压力表现方式的技能和策略，以及使用简单实用的技术来管理和减轻压力的影响。教育工作者的补充干预（CI）可以提供压力管理，并有助于在个人层面上支持幸福感。
这项收敛混合方法研究包括参与者的反思、感知压力的自我报告衡量标准、正念注意意识以及主观幸福感和生物衡量标准（唾液皮质醇水平）。
归纳主题分析和混合方法案例研究设计。
参与者分享说，他们在个人和职业环境中都体验到了益处，行为发生了变化，对压力的影响有了更多的认识，压力反应也有所减轻。参与者的反思为自我报告和生物衡量标准提供了背景信息。从这两个数据集中都得出了推论。研究结果支持了将瑜伽系统中的技术与幸福感维度联系起来的机制模型。
研究结果表明，教育工作者的补充干预措施可能为支持幸福感和帮助管理压力提供策略。
