Description |
A study on the emotional competence and stress on health status of 105 primary school teachers and 50 housewives was conducted in Dharwad city during 2008-09. The married teachers more than 25 years of age with at least 5 years of teaching experience were randomly selected from 18 schools. The housewives belonging to the same age and income groups were selected as control group. Emotional competence was assessed using EC- Scale developed by Bharadwaj and Sharma (1995) and health status by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (P.G.I) Health Questionnaire N-2 developed by Wig and Verma (1978). Stress Inventory for Teachers (SIT) developed by Sheeja (1999) was used to assess the stress of teachers. General stress of teachers and housewives was assessed using Stress Index Questionnaire developed by Ivancevich and Matteson (1980). The results revealed that majority of the teachers and housewives indicated average to competent level of emotional competence (88-89.5%), high general stress levels (66-74.3%) and mildly affected health status (88.6-92.0%). Majority of the teachers showed average to high stressors and overall stress. There was highly significant difference between the teachers and housewives on health status, highlighting more perceived health problems among teachers. The selected demographic factors such as, age and work experience showed positive and highly significant relationship with emotional competence and health status, where as negative and highly significant with general stress of teachers. Income showed positive and significant relationship with emotional competence of housewives. Negative and significant relationship was observed between emotional competence with stress and health status of teachers and housewives. Hence, increase in the emotional competence reduced the stress levels and health problems (neurosis) significantly among primary school teachers and housewives. |
