摘要

Background

Promoting social resources can help reduce mental stress and significantly promote the mental health of educators. This salutogenic perspective, which focuses on strengthening resources and promoting health, provides an important approach to improving the working conditions of educators.

Aim

The aim of the study is to obtain a detailed overview of the social resources of the respondents to gain a deeper understanding of the factors that influence the mental health of educators.

Methods

A qualitative study was used to conduct 10 guided interviews with educators. The interviews were then analyzed using qualitative content analysis according to Kuckartz and Rädiker [16].

Results

A multitude of psychological stressors were identified in the day to day activities of the daycare setting. The most frequently mentioned were staff shortages, challenging children, challenging parents and internal conflicts. Both inside and outside the working environment, educators have a wide range of social resources at their disposal. It should be emphasized that the respondents receive the most social support within their working environment. Colleagues play a particularly important and supportive role for early childhood educators.

Conclusion

Design potential improvements were identified and recommendations for actions to promote the social resources of educators were derived. These include, for example, regular exchange meetings within the team, promotion of private discussion opportunities among educators and management training for appropriate support in everyday care.
