In our study conducted in 2022, we investigated the mental well-being and burnout levels among Hungarian special education teachers, with a sample size of N: 134. Our aim was to identify the psychological resources that positively influence coping with challenges. We employed various measurement tools including the Maslach Burnout Inventory Educators Survey (MBI-ES), the Brief COPE (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced) Questionnaire developed by Lazarus and Folkman, the Beck Depression Inventory-Short Form (BDI-SF), the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MOS SSS-H), and the Psychological Immune System Scale (PIS) by Attila Oláh. The findings of our study support the conclusion that prevention interventions targeting burnout should primarily focus on alleviating depression. Purposeful action and seeking help coping strategies, as well as the Approach-Monitoring subsystem of the Psychological Immune System--indicating weak levels of understanding the environment and monitoring positive consequences--emerged as protective factors against burnout. Therefore, preventive programs should concentrate on enhancing realistic situation assessment, creative problem-solving skills, the ability to mobilize internal and external resources, emotional and cognitive control functions, and fostering a mindset tuned into potential positive outcomes.
