第五章 結論與建議
第二節 建議
壹、針對不同心理健康狀態研擬各種有效的介入方案
本研究結果顯著區辨教師九種不同類型的心理健康狀態,對於實務應用而 言,「錯亂型」的預防與治療問題是屬於精神科醫師的專業範圍,「掙扎型」的預 防與治療問題是屬於諮商心理師和社工師的專業領域,但「幽谷型」的預防與治 療問題則是教育領域可以著墨之處;因此,如何從「幽谷型」的不完全心理健康 狀態提升到「顛峰型」的完全心理健康狀態?如何擬定實施有效的介入方案?如 何進行有效診斷心理健康的類型等議題,都是未來實務工作者可以再繼續深入探 討的。
貳、年長教師可作為年輕教師的導師以帶領適應工作壓力
本研究發現年輕教師在憂鬱之「認知向度」與「情緒向度」上,比起年長教 師有較高憂鬱傾向的症狀。年輕教師由於專業知能與經驗熟練度不足,以致對學 校行政活動、課程設計教學、班級事務處理及對家長的應對等多項交錯繁複工作 的因應倍感吃力,因而容易產生工作壓力,造成憂鬱的症狀產生。因此,本研究 建議學校,可挑選有意願的年長教師但任年輕教師的導師(mentor),提供其教 學指導、帶班經驗分享、與工作諮詢管道,以增進年輕教師適應工作壓力的能力。
參、鼓勵從事正向健康行為或擁有正向評價性社會支持以增 強情緒幸福感
教育主管單位或學校,可以透過鼓勵教師從事正向健康行為或擁有正向的評 價性社會支持,來增強自我的保護因子─「情緒幸福感」。因此,學校應從兩個 方面來重視並促進教師的身心健康。一方面係透過鼓勵、倡導教師在工作之餘,
多培養正向的健康行為(諸如:定期休閒活動(如:閱讀、購物、看電影、聽音 樂…等)、體能運動(如:跑步、球類、有氧運動、瑜伽…等)、與家人或好友聚 會等安排),使教師在面對工作壓力之餘,仍保持快樂的感受,並對自己的生活 品質感到滿意。另一方面,乃要設計相關研習課程,教導教師們如何在工作上給 予彼此正向的回饋支持,並鼓勵學生及家長們適時給予教師適切的肯定,使教師 能從中建立良好的自我評價。
肆、降低放學後還繼續從事教學相關工作的時數以維護教師 心理健康
加強並提升每位教師的主觀幸福感,並且善加利用教學科技或時間管理技巧 來降低放學後還繼續從事相關教學工作(如:批改作業、考卷、備課及家庭訪問 等)的時數和壓力,可能是促進及維護教師心理健康的有效策略之一,同時也是 教師本身、學校、及教育有關當局應該共同努力的目標。
