Prežívanie stresu z perspektívy učiteľov v čase pandémie a dištančného vzdelávania
Dealing with Stress from Teachers´ Perspectives during the Pandemic Situation and Distance Learning

Summary/Abstract: The primary aim of the study was to detect stress (overall level and dimension of helplessness and self-efficacy) by the help of the Slovak version of the PSS-10 questionnaire in a group of Slovak teachers (N = 371) during the coronavirus pandemic. The results of online data collection from teachers from all regions of Slovakia reflect a moderate level of perceived stress (M = 20.06, SD = 7.78) in the population of teachers. A low level of stress is made up of 1/5 of the research group of teachers involved. The aim was also to verify the level of stress between the different age groups of teachers and also with regard to the different time that teachers devote to their interests on a daily basis. There were statistically significant differences (p <.05) between groups of teachers in the age group 36-45 years compared to the age category 46 and older, in terms of an average higher score of perceived stress in 36-45-year-old teachers. The results of the studies confirmed that teachers who pursue their interests for more than two hours a day achieve significantly (p <0.001) lower level of perceived stress compared to teachers who pursue their interests up to a maximum of two hours a day. The results are in accord with the WHO (2020) recommendations that engagement with interests is associated with lower levels of stress.
