A Model of Well-Being to Protect Mental Health during the COVID-19 Pandemic
International Journal of Contemporary Educational Research, v8 n4 p102-115 Dec 2021
This study aimed to examine the mediating role of hope in the relationship between psychological resilience and the psychological wellbeing of teachers at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic. A total of 1059 teachers serving in Turkey, 729 female (%68.8) and 330 male (%31.2), whose ages vary between 21 and 62 (?X=35.83; SD=9.17), participated voluntarily in this study. The brief resilience scale, dispositional hope scale, and psychological wellbeing scale were used for data collection. In this study, a structural model for the psychological wellbeing of teachers at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic was constructed. Testing the hypothetically determined model was carried out with the Structural Equation Modelling technique, and the significance of its indirect effects was assessed by bootstrapping analysis. As a result, a structural wellbeing model has been obtained for teachers to protect their mental health. It was proved that hope has a fully mediating role in the relationship between psychological resilience and wellbeing.
