Effects of Occupational Stress on Mental Health in Colleges' Physical Education Teachers: Mediating Role of Coping Style: A Case Study of Southern Districts of Punjab

Abstract

    The current study investigated effects of stress upon mental health mediated by copying style. A sample of n=176 (males=115; females=61) lecturers working at college level from southern districts of Punjab was taken and surveyed. Self-structured questionnaires consisted occupational stress, mental health, and copying style. Frequency and parentage were used assess the individuals' demographic characteristics; however, correlation, regression, mediation, and significance testing were also done. Results indicated that teacher stress has statistically significant relationship with coping strategies (r=.442**, p < 0.01). Likewise, the table indicated a statistically significant linear relationship between teachers’ stress and mental health (r=.721**, p < 0.01). Regression analysis indicated that occupational stress and coping strategy statistically predicted mental health of the colleges’ teachers (p < 0.05). Additionally, an increase in the coefficient value of the mediation analysis from (.265 to.712) showed that the mediating variable fully mediated the association between occupational stress and mental health.
