The occupational stress, burnout and job satisfaction of special education teachers

The occupational stress stress is a key factor in efficiency in the educational process. It is a universal element that transcends the gender, age, level of education, or the hierarchical position of the teacher and touches the various dimensions of the individual.
The purpose of this research is to investigate occupational stress, depression and anxiety of primary education special education teachers, as well as levels of professional satisfaction. One hundred (100) special education teachers from the Regional Directorate of Attica training took part in this study. The findings of the study were conducted with a questionnaire including the Perceived Stress Scale-14, PSS-14, Depression Anxiety Stress-21, DASS- 21), the Employee Satisfaction Inventory (ESI) scale, and the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS).
According to the results of this study participants have on average moderate levels of perceived stress, anxiety and depression, as well as moderate professional satisfaction. The increase in levels of perceived stress among teachers is associated with a decrease in their professional satisfaction. Increased levels of depression of special education teachers are associated with reduced professional satisfaction. Regarding stress and health status, as stress increases, according to teachers, their health is getting worse. Therefore, occupational stress, depression and anxiety can be considered as predictors of the health status of special education teachers, as high levels of occupational stress and anxiety are strongly related to low levels of self-reported health-well-being, satisfaction.
This research will be able to act as a signaling fuse for new research and for the detection of factors associated with specific illnesses as well as for the development of strategies for dealing with stress, anxiety and depression in teachers. The results of the study highlight the need for measures to reduce occupational stress and increase the professional satisfaction of teachers with the ultimate aim of improving the quality of education overall.
