Systematic Random Sample

The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between professional isolation of teachers and their occupational stress. A systematic random sample of 1,110 teachers in Quebec were administered French Canadian versions of the UCLA Loneliness Scale and Teacher Stress Inventory. Analysis gave, as expected, a positive and significant correlation between isolation and occupational stress. This highlights the importance of looking for ways to reduce professional isolation of teachers.

Teacher Stress Inventory

The purpose of the study was to compare occupational stress levels of rural educators in the areas of mental retardation, learning disabilities, and emotional conflict. Occupational stress levels were measured by the Teacher Stress Inventory (Fimian, 1985), which was developed and validated for teachers of exceptional children. The sample consisted of 154 randomly selected and specifically selected rural special educators in the 21 rural counties with set defined parameters of a population of 50,000 or less. The Teacher Stress Inventory was designed to assess stress levels of special educators. Subscales of the Teacher Stress Inventory were personal/professional stressors, professional distress, discipline/motivation, emotional manifestations, biobehavloral manifestations, physiological/fatigue manifestations, and time management. The data were analyzed using the one-way analysis of variance and the multivariate analysis of variance procedures. No significant differences were evident between mean stress scores and mean subscale scores of the three Identified groups.

Teacher Stress Inventory

The internal consistency, split-half, and test-retest reliabilities of the Teacher Stress Inventory were based on responses of twice tested sample of 49 teachers. Alpha estimates ranged .77 to .90 for the subscales, .91 to .94 for the whole scale, and .83 to .88 for the short forms. Split-half reliabilities in the mid-90s show a strong relationship between the short forms. Test-retest reliabilities ranged .27 to .99 for the subscales and .78 to .98 for the whole scale, indicating stability for the stress factors across 2-hr., 1-day, 1-wk., and 2-wk. intervals.

The Relationship

The purpose of this study was twofold. The first aim was to clarify the relationship between psychological stress and lrritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) by establishing whether individuals suffering from IBS experience minor stress differently from healthy individuals in terms of its frequency or intensity. The second aim was more general and concerns theory building in a field filled with ambiguity and confusion. Two groups, one comprising IBS sufferers and the other healthy controls, completed the Daily Stress lnventory and the Occupational Stress lnventory - questionnaires designed to measure minor daily and occupational stress respectively. The findings indicate that IBS sufferers do not experience more stress than healthy individuals, but they experience the stressors with greater intensity.OpsommingDie doel van die studie was tweeledig. Eerstens is daar gepoog om duidelikheid te kry oor die verband tussen sielkundige stres en Prikkelbare Dermsindroom (PDS), deur te bepaal of individue wat aan PDS ly geringe stres anders ervaar as gesonde individue in terme van gereeldheid of intensiteit. Die tweede doelwit was meer algemeen en spreek die kwessie van teorie ontwikkeling aan in 'n veld gevul met dubbelsinningheid en verwarring. Twee groepe, een bestaande uit PDS lyers en die ander 'n gesonde kontrolegroep, het die "Daily Stress Inventory'' en die "Occupational Stress Inventory" voltooi. Die vraelyste is ontwerp om onderskeidelik daaglikse stres en werkstres te meet. Die resultate dui daarop dat PDS lyers nie meer stres ervaar as die gesonde individue nie, maar dat hulle wel die stressors ervaar met groter intensiteit.

The study analyzed on-the-job stress for a sample of 30 full-time university laboratory school teachers: 8 men, 19 women and 3 who did not report sex. A small number experienced a great deal of discomfort (stress) in performing their jobs. The strongest sources of stress identified by these teachers were not enough time for relaxation and preparation, personal life shortchanged, inadequate salary, and teaching poorly motivated students. Several aspects of the stress reported are discussed, and recommendations are made regarding research and methods to help teachers cope with stress.
