Teachers' healthy psychology is not only beneficial to teachers' own health, but also beneficial to improving work efficiency and promoting students' mental health development. However, the current mental health of teachers is not optimistic.
(A) the significance of teachers' mental health
1. is good for health.
Mental health is closely related to physical health. On the one hand, a person's physical health level will affect his mental health level. People's physical diseases and physical defects will have a negative impact on people's psychological characteristics and mental state, causing people to have bad emotions such as anxiety, sadness, trouble and depression, and affecting people's mood, will, personality and even the harmony of interpersonal relationships. On the other hand, mental health also affects physical health. Only a healthy mind can cultivate a healthy body. For example, an optimistic, cheerful, confident and peaceful attitude helps to improve people's immune ability, so that people can effectively resist the invasion of diseases and thus promote their health. Mental health, such as long-term excessive anxiety, anxiety, trouble, depression and anger, will lead to physiological abnormalities or pathological changes, leading to psychosomatic diseases. Psychosomatic diseases refer to diseases in which psychological factors account for a large proportion in the etiology of diseases, or somatic diseases which are mainly caused by psychological-social factors and are related to emotions and present somatic symptoms. Man is an organic whole closely combined with physiology and psychology, and spirit and body play a common role in the same life process. Those organ systems that are closely related to emotions and dominated by the autonomic nervous system are more susceptible to this disease.
2. It is conducive to the improvement of work efficiency.
A higher level of teachers' mental health will enable them to play a normal role in intelligence, emotion and will, which will help improve their work efficiency. People with mental health can objectively evaluate and freely respond to the objective environment, and their psychological tendencies and behaviors are basically in harmony with the requirements of social reality. If individuals can achieve a positive balance with the environment, they can treat contradictions and problems with correct attitudes and methods, and they can also treat setbacks in life with a peaceful attitude. Generally speaking, they will not lose confidence because of occasional failures, and the efficiency of work and study is bound to be better than that of people with unhealthy psychology.
3. Conducive to the healthy development of students' psychology.
Teachers' mental health is not only a personal matter, but also affects students' mental health level.
Teachers are important figures in students' minds and a model of students' identity. Teachers can play the most subtle role in the daily contact between teachers and students. Moreover, teachers with mental health can influence students through the teaching process and make students' psychology develop healthily.
Teachers' unhealthy psychology can not correctly understand students' behaviors, let alone skillfully deal with students' problems, which may affect the relationship between teachers and students and may hurt students' hearts. Therefore, in order to better educate students, teachers themselves must first be mentally healthy people.
