碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 健康促進與衛生教育學系在職進修碩士班 === 100 === The purpouses of this syudy were to investigate the job stress, family stress and depressive tendency of female junior high school teachers in Banqiao District and Tucheng District in New Taipei City, and to examine the relationships among these three variables. Self-report questionnaire were distributed to 390 randomly selected female teachers from 6 and 2 schools in Banqiao District and Tucheng District, respectively.Data of three hundred and fourteen, with 80.5% valid rate, were analyzed by t-Test, ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression analyses. The main results were listed as follow: 1. The job stress of research samples ranged from “low stress” to “moderate stress”, and student’s behavior was the highest. The professional competency stress of homeroom teacher was higher than that of substitute teacher. The student’s behavioral stress of homeroom teacher and subject teacher was higher than that of teacher with executive missions; the more the teaching hours per week, the higher the student，s behavior stress. 2. The family stress of research samples ranged from “no stress” to “low stress”, and the stress of homework burdenwas the highest. The teachers with marriage, having children, elder, with longer service years had more family stress. The family stress of substitute teacher was less than the one of homeroom teacher, subject teacher and teacher with executive missions. 3. About 75% of research samples were no depressive tendency, but the rate of teachers with either mild (9.0%), moderate (6.0%), or severe depressive tendency (8.6%) weas more than 5%. The depressive tendency was not related to personal background variables. 4. The job stress, family stress and depressive tendency of research sampleswere positively related to one another, that is, the higher the job stress, the higher the family stress, and the higher the depressive tendency. 5. Personal background variables, job stress, and family stress predicted depressive tendency with 29.4% corresponding variance of explanation. In addition, personal background variables, five aspects of job stress, and four aspects of family stress predicted depressive tendency with 31.8% corresponding variance of explanation. The stress of peer relationship, familial relationship, homework burden and subject teacher were important variables of depressive tendency. Based on the results, we would suggest female teachers in junior high schools should pay attention to their own depressive tendency. Schools and education authorities would conduct workshops, and set up a counseling group to help teachers relieve job and family stress.
