Sažetak
Current research dealing with the stress of kindergarten teachers in the workplace is less common than research that focuses on the stress of school teachers and professors. Kindergarten teachers are in constant contact with children and execute work of high responsibility, so this research is justified in attempting to determine the intensity of burnout and the level of physical activity, as well as to prevent any negative events. The study helped to determine the level of physical activity, the intensity of burnout at work, the total level of stress at work, and the level of life satisfaction of the teachers employed at Jarun Kindergarten. We also examined the correlation among the above variables.
The sample consisted of 80 female kindergarten teachers, aged 23-61, i.e. 95% of all teachers employed at Jarun Kindergarten, the second largest kindergarten in the city of Zagreb. The survey was conducted using five questionnaires with a total of 76 questions: Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Burnout Intensity at Work Questionnaire, Educator Job Stress Assessment Scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Statistical processing is presented through basic descriptive indicators (including the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Distribution Normality Test and Box and Whisker Diagram) and through the distribution of the sample by reference intervals of individual measuring instruments. The correlation between the main variables was tested using a series of linear bivariate regression analyses.
The results show that the teachers employed at Jarun Kindergarten have a high level of physical activity, generally find their work moderately stressful, claim a low intensity of burnout at work, and are on average somewhat satisfied with life. Those with a higher total level of stress at work experience a higher intensity of burnout at work and are more dissatisfied with life.
The results provide guidance for preventive measures in reducing occupational stress and educating teachers how to build up their physical activity and maintain it at a level that will have a positive effect on their health.
