Abstract:
Kindergarten teachers are exposed to a variety of stresses that can lead to psychological impairments and illnesses. A balance between stress and resources is necessary for performance and well-being. The aim of the study was to examine correlations between the risk of burnout and human resources in order to derive approaches for preventive measures. A total of 200 teachers from Magdeburg and the surrounding area took part in the study (age: 43.6±12.6 years). The MBI-GS inventory was used to determine the burnout risk. Stress processing strategies as personal resources were recorded using the stress processing form (SVF). A risk of burnout was found in nine (4.5%) teachers, 68 (34%) suffered from at least some burnout symptoms. There were significantly more negative stress processing strategies among educators at risk of burnout. As a preventive measure, a resource-oriented approach should be strengthened in order to maintain the health of the teachers and to prevent development of burnout syndrome.
