STRESS IN THE TEACHERS’ WORKPLACE

Osrednji namen diplomskega dela je bil ugotoviti, kako učitelji na Osnovni šoli doživljajo stres ter kako se z njim spopadajo. Preučili smo, kateri dejavniki so ključni za nastanek stresa na delovnem mestu učiteljaposeben poudarek smo namenili spopadanju učiteljev s stresom na delovnem mestu ter kako stres omiliti. Spoznali smo dejavnike za nastanek stresa na delovnem mestu učitelja ter opredelili nekatere vzroke in posledice stresa na delovnem mestu za učitelje, sodelavce ali organizacijo. Ob koncu pa smo predstavili še načine in ukrepe za omilitev oziroma preprečevanje stresa, s katerimi se učitelji srečujejo. Glede na to, da smo v prvem delu diplomskega dela največji poudarek namenili spoprijemanju učiteljev s stresom ter temu, kako namesto stresa vzpostavimo dobro počutje, smo predstavili tudi nekaj preventivnih ukrepov, ki nas morda obvarujejo pred vsakodnevnim pojavom stresa. V drugem delu pa smo v ospredje postavili raziskovanje pojava stresa na delovnem mestu učiteljev v Osnovni šoli Žiri. Raziskava je temeljila na stopnji stresa, ki ga učitelji doživljajo, in če vodilni storijo dovolj, da bi stres poskušali omiliti. Z raziskavo smo poskušali učiteljem bolj približati posledice stresa in jih posvariti, da naj bomo ob pojavu stresa bolj pozorni na svoje obnašanje, naj se ne zapirajo vase ter naj se ob prevelikem stresu pogovorijo s svojimi bližnjimi ali z zdravstvenim osebjem. Problem stresa in posledice, ki jih lahko prinese stres, smo predstavili na preprost način, vse od njegovega začetka pa do kasnejših faz. Raziskava je bila tudi neke vrste namen, da učitelje opozorimo, naj svoje stresne situacije poskušajo reševati v začetnih fazah, saj je lahko spoprijemanje z vsakodnevnim stresom velik problem tako za psihično kot tudi fizično zdravje. Hkrati pa smo v raziskovalnem delu odkrili, v kolikšni meri je bil stres prisoten med učitelji na Osnovni šoli v Žireh, kako dobro se učitelji spoprijemajo z njim ter kakšne vrste tehnik za sproščanje oziroma omilitev stresa uporabljajo. Z nami je v intervjuju o najbolj stresni situaciji spregovorila tudi ena izmed osnovnošolskih učiteljic.The main focus of this diploma paper is to find out, how are the teachers on primary schools affected by stress and how they co-op with it.
