This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of social anxiety symptoms (SASs) and its associated factors among middle-aged teachers in secondary education schools.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted from December 2023 to March 2024 among 341 secondary education schoolteachers aged 45-59 in Chiang Mai, Thailand, involving an online survey. Effects of psychosocial variables on SASs were investigated, including attachment anxiety, attachment avoidance, neuroticism and extraversion personality traits, loneliness, perceived social stress, job burnout, and anxiety and depression. Multiple linear regression was used to identify predictors of SASs.
This study found that 98 out of 341 (28.7%) teachers presented SASs. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that marital status (β = 0.103, 95% CI [0.437, 3.404]), income (β = 0.087, 95% CI [0.049, 3.758]), extraversion (β = -0.179, 95% CI [-0.573, -0.198]), attachment anxiety (β = 0.165, 95% CI [0.106, 0.359]), attachment avoidance (β = 0.145, 95% CI [0.066, 0.243]), depression (β = 0.242, 95% CI [0.248, 0.862]), loneliness (β = 0.182, 95% CI [0.099, 0.580]), and perceived social stress (β = 0.235, 95% CI [0.131, 0.373]) were significant predictors of SASs, explaining 51.1% of the variance.
This study discovered a relatively high prevalence of SASs among middle-aged secondary schoolteachers.
本研究旨在调查中学中年教师社交焦虑症状(SASs)的患病率及其相关因素。
2023年12月至2024年3月,在泰国清迈对341名年龄在45 - 59岁的中学教师进行了横断面调查,采用在线调查方式。研究了心理社会变量对社交焦虑症状的影响,包括依恋焦虑、依恋回避、神经质和外向型人格特质、孤独感、感知到的社会压力、职业倦怠以及焦虑和抑郁。采用多元线性回归来确定社交焦虑症状的预测因素。
本研究发现,341名教师中有98名(28.7%)存在社交焦虑症状。多元线性回归分析显示,婚姻状况(β = 0.103,95%置信区间[0.437, 3.404])、收入(β = 0.087,95%置信区间[0.049, 3.758])、外向性(β = -0.179,95%置信区间[-0.573, -0.198])、依恋焦虑(β = 0.165,95%置信区间[0.106, 0.359])、依恋回避(β = 0.145,95%置信区间[0.066, 0.243])、抑郁(β = 0.242,95%置信区间[0.248, 0.862])、孤独感(β = 0.182,95%置信区间[0.099, 0.580])和感知到的社会压力(β = 0.235,95%置信区间[0.131, 0.373])是社交焦虑症状的显著预测因素,解释了51.1%的变异。
本研究发现中学中年教师中社交焦虑症状的患病率相对较高。
