Hubungan antara Karakteristik dengan Kejadian Stres Kerja pada Guru SD Negeri Inpres Kotaraja

Abstract

Background: Work-related stress is an important issue that can affect teachers’ performance and well-being. In addition to teaching, teachers are required to manage administrative tasks, adapt to curriculum demands, and fulfill social roles within the community. These multiple responsibilities may lead to psychological pressure that negatively impacts both physical and mental health. Purpose: This study aimed to examine the relationship between individual characteristics and work-related stress among teachers at SD Negeri Inpres Kotaraja. Methods: This study employed a quantitative analytic approach with a cross-sectional design and was conducted in July. The study population consisted of all teachers at SD Negeri Inpres Kotaraja, totaling 34 teachers, with total sampling applied. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) questionnaire. Data analysis included univariate analysis to describe frequency distributions and bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test to determine the association between independent variables and work-related stress. Result: The results showed a significant relationship between gender and work-related stress (p-value = 0.023). In contrast, age (p-value = 0.292), length of service (p-value = 0.091), and educational level (p-value = 0.054) were not significantly associated with work-related stress. Conclusion:  Gender was significantly associated with work-related stress among elementary school teachers, while age, length of service, and educational level were not significantly related to work-related stress.
