In recent years, due to the expansion of university capacities and the limitation of university human resources and income, workers face job stress, which is an important risk factor for their mental health. This study was conducted to investigate the impact of education on job stress and mental health in university staff.
This semi-experimental study was conducted in Zahedan, southeastern Iran, from 2020 to 2021. In this study, 254 administrative staff from the Zahedan University of Medical Sciences and Zahedan University were included in the control and intervention groups using available sampling methods. The study instrument was an investigator-designed questionnaire with a content effectiveness ratio (CVR) of 0.8, a content effectiveness index (CVI) of 0.83-0.93, and an internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha of 0.79. The survey was activated online on the Porsline platform. For the intervention, training sessions were held online, and session files and training booklets for intervention group staff were uploaded to the university's education system. Post-test was performed 1 month after the pretest. Data were analyzed using SPSS 21 software after adjusting pretest results using Chi-square and ANCOVA statistical tests.
The results showed that employees with a higher education level had better knowledge and behavior in reducing occupational stress and maintaining mental health ( < 0.05). Also, employees with higher knowledge reported their health level better ( < 0.05). After the educational intervention, the knowledge, attitude, and Practices of the participants in the intervention group increased significantly with occupational stress and mental health ( < 0.05).
The implemented educational program was effective in improving workplace stress management behaviors and maintaining the mental health of university staff. Therefore, intervention training programs can play an important role in improving employee health, and conducting empowerment workshops in this area is recommended for employees.
近年来，由于大学招生规模的扩大以及大学人力资源和收入的限制，工作人员面临工作压力，这是影响其心理健康的一个重要风险因素。本研究旨在调查教育对大学工作人员工作压力和心理健康的影响。
本半实验性研究于2020年至2021年在伊朗东南部的扎赫丹进行。在本研究中，采用便利抽样法将来自扎赫丹医科大学和扎赫丹大学的254名行政人员纳入对照组和干预组。研究工具是一份由研究者设计的问卷，内容效度比（CVR）为0.8，内容效度指数（CVI）为0.83 - 0.93，内部一致性Cronbach's α为0.79。该调查在Porsline平台上在线开展。对于干预措施，在线举办了培训课程，并将干预组工作人员的课程文件和培训手册上传至大学教育系统。在预测试后1个月进行后测试。在使用卡方检验和协方差分析统计测试对预测试结果进行调整后，使用SPSS 21软件对数据进行分析。
结果显示，受教育程度较高的员工在减轻职业压力和维护心理健康方面具有更好的知识和行为（<0.05）。此外，知识水平较高的员工对自身健康状况的评价更好（<0.05）。经过教育干预后，干预组参与者在职业压力和心理健康方面的知识、态度和实践显著增加（<0.05）。
实施的教育项目在改善工作场所压力管理行为和维护大学工作人员心理健康方面是有效的。因此，干预培训项目在改善员工健康方面可发挥重要作用，建议为员工开展该领域的赋权工作坊。
