Abstract

Purpose: To explore the status of self-worth and job burnout of health care teachers in primary and secondary schools in Shanghai, and to analyze the relationship between them. Method: In this study, 227 health care teachers in primary and secondary schools from 16 districts of Shanghai were selected by random sampling. Questionnaires on Self-Worth of Primary and Secondary School Teachers, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Job Burnout Scale of Primary and Secondary School Teachers were used to conduct the survey. Results: The job burnout of health care teachers in primary and secondary schools in Shanghai was at a medium level, and the overall coping style was more positive. There was a significant difference in self-worth and burnout among full-time and part-time primary and secondary health care teachers. The self-worth value of full-time health care teachers was significantly higher than that of part-time health care teachers, and the burnout was significantly lower than that of part-time health care teachers. The coping styles of health care teachers in primary and secondary schools have a mediating effect in self-worth and burnout. Conclusion: The job burnout of health care teachers in primary and secondary schools was not obvious, and the coping style can predict the degree of job burnout of health care teachers.
