Mental and physical health of the teacher

Abstract

A teacher who is physically and mentally healthy is able to satisfy his/her basic needs and does not harm those around him/her, whether the community or school. A teacher who is mentally healthy is the one who is able to make social connections with school colleagues and students, who performs his/her educational tasks flawlessly, able to control him/herself and the one who has positive energy and has a sense of responsibility towards his/her students and his/her school.
The objectives of the study are:
1 - to identify the reality of mental health of the teacher, and
2 - to identify the reality of the physical health of the teacher.
Importance of the study
The importance of the study stems from the importance of the target group dealt with. Mental health is as important as physical health. Rather, physical health is incapable of bringing happiness to a person unless he has mental health, especially after it was found that there is a close relationship between the mental health of individuals and their physical health and indispensable for the health of the body. It is known that the enjoyment of mental health of a person has a good effect on his physical development and on his organs and the integrity and health of his physical functions.
The theoretical framework of the study included some of the topics of mental health and physical health of the teacher and a set of previous studies. The most important results were that the teaching profession has value but teachers are uncomfortable for the reason that they are not satisfied with their salaries which do not meet their basic needs.
