Area of Science:

  • Educational Psychology
  • Occupational Health
  • Mindfulness Studies

Background:

  • High work stress is prevalent among Dutch primary school teachers, leading to burnout and high attrition rates.
  • Existing interventions for teacher stress are limited, highlighting the need for evidence-based solutions.
  • Primary school teachers face significant occupational challenges impacting their well-being and professional longevity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program for reducing stress in primary school teachers.
  • To investigate the impact of MBSR on teachers' absenteeism, mental health, teaching skills, classroom climate, and pupil-teacher relationships.
  • To explore potential mediating roles of self-compassion, mindfulness, and emotion regulation skills in the MBSR intervention.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-method study employing a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design with 155 primary school teachers.
  • Teachers were randomized to an 8-week MBSR program or a waitlist control group.
  • Quantitative data collected via online questionnaires at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up; qualitative data from teacher interviews.

Main Results:

  • The study protocol outlines the planned analysis for primary outcomes (stress levels) and secondary outcomes (absenteeism, mental health, teaching effectiveness).
  • Hypothesized outcomes include significant reductions in perceived stress and absenteeism in the MBSR group compared to the control group.
  • Exploratory analysis will examine the mediating effects of psychological factors on intervention outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • This study protocol details a rigorous mixed-method RCT to assess the efficacy of MBSR for primary school teachers.
  • Positive findings could support the widespread implementation of MBSR to mitigate teacher stress and enhance educational environments.
  • MBSR offers a promising avenue for improving teacher well-being and professional sustainability in education.
