Gündelik hayatta bireylerin sağlığını ve çalışma verimliliği etkileyen birçok problemin kökeninde stresin yattığı ifade edilmektedir. Stres mesleki bir sorun olarak, çalışan sağlığını olumsuz yönde etkileyebilmektedir. Eğitim çalışanlarında irrasyonel inançlar ve stres arasındaki ilişki, çalışmalarda kanıtlanmıştır. Önleyici psikoterapilerin öncüleri arasında Rasyonel Duygucu Davranışçı Terapi (RDDT) yaklaşımına göre stresin başlıca sebebi, kişinin çevresinde gerçekleşen olaylardan çok bu olayları algılayış ve değerlendiriş biçimini şekillendiren irrasyonel inançlardır. Yüksek düzeyde irrasyonel inanca sahip olan bireyler strese daha duyarlı olabilmektedir. RDDT’nin stres ve irrasyonel inançlar üzerine olumlu yönde etkisi bulunmaktadır. Çalışan sağlığını geliştirmeye yönelik önleyici psikoterapilerde gerek toplum ruh sağlığı gerek okul sağlığı hizmetleri dikkate alınmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, okul sağlığı hemşireliği rol ve sorumlulukları kapsamında çalışan ruh sağlığına yönelik stresi azaltmada irrasyonel düşüncelerin öneminin ortaya konulması bakımından literatüre katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır.

Stress and Irrationality in Education Workers in Terms of Mental Health

Öz

It is stated that stress lies at the root of many problems affecting the health and working efficiency of individuals in daily life. Stress, as a professional problem, can affect the health of the employee negatively. The relationship between irrational beliefs and stress in education workers has been proven in studies. According to the Rational Emotional Behavioral Therapy (REBT) approach among the pioneers of preventive psychotherapy, the main cause of stress is the irrational beliefs that shape the way the person perceives and evaluates these events rather than the events happening in their environment. Individuals with a high level of irrational beliefs may be more susceptible to stress. REBT has a positive effect on stress and irrational beliefs. Both community mental health and school health services are taken into account in preventive psychotherapies aimed at improving employee health. In this study, it is aimed to contribute to the literature in terms of revealing the importance of irrational thoughts in reducing the stress on employee mental health within the scope of school health nursing roles and responsibilities.
