[Stress in the occupational role of teachers with disabilities and physical disorders]

We investigated 18 female polytechnical school-teachers with reduced work fitness compared to a group of female teachers without fitness-reduction with the aim to measure the strain of dominant psychologic work in school. We used blood pressure, heart-rate, voice function and subjective feeling according the Nitsch-scale during teaching and a day without teaching. The results indicate differences in subjective feeling scores whereas somatic parameters did not show higher strain. Because of the high interindividual differences in strain in the group with reduced work fitness further investigations should be realized.
