Abstract

Background: Teachers' mental health is a crucial factor in creating a healthy and conducive school environment for learning. However, teachers' workload and psychosocial stressors may impair their mental well-being. This study aims to conduct a needs assessment for mental health promotion among teachers in junior high schools in Yogyakarta City as an effort to support a healthy school. Methods: This study applied a Cross-sectional design and Chi-Square analysis, and Fisher's Exact test. A total of 42 people were sampled in this study, using the total sampling technique. The instruments used included personal data sheets, as well as questionnaires to assess the level of work stress and mental workload. Results: Most of the respondents were female, as many as 61.9%, with age >34 years, as many as 54.8%, and tenure >5 years, as many as 59.5%. There were 42.9% who experienced work stress, and most of the teachers stated that the workload was experienced at a moderate level, namely 90.5%. There is a relationship between mental workload and work stress in teachers with a p-value of 0.027 (p<0.05). Conclusion: The higher the mental workload, the more likely teachers are to experience job stress. These findings are important for improving teacher welfare, which in turn will support the creation of a positive and quality learning climate in schools. This study contributes to the development of sustainable mental health programs for teachers as an integral part of efforts to create healthy schools in Indonesia.
