Analysis of the current situation and influencing factors of alexithymia and job burnout in kindergarten teachers

Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the current situation of alexithymia and professional burnout among kindergarten teachers，and analyze the correlation and influencing factors between the two，so as to provide a basis for alleviating kindergarten teachers' professional burnout and promoting the development of preschool education. Methods With the teachers of 9 public kindergartens in Guizhou Province as the research objects，290 kindergarten teachers were randomly selected as the investigation objects by using the general information questionnaire，the 20-item Toronto alexithymia scale（TAS-20） and the Maslach burnout inventory-educators survey（MBI-ES） to conduct a questionnaire survey，and pearson correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted. Results The average score of burnout among 290 kindergarten teachers was （2.90±0.33）points，and the average score of alexithymia was （3.11±0.56）points. Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were positive correlations between the scores of various factors of alexithymia and the scores of various factors of burnout of kindergarten teachers（all P<0.01）. Further hierarchical regression analysis revealed that lack of emotional discrimination ability and extroverted thinking were the risk factors leading to job burnout of kindergarten teachers. Conclusion There is a certain degree of job burnout in kindergarten teachers. Alexithymia is positively correlated with job burnout. Measures such as improving the career development support system and establishing a psychological adaptation mechanism for teachers should be taken to prevent or alleviate burnout of kindergarten teachers.

Key words: Alexithymia, Burnout, Kindergarten teachers
