Abstract

Professional International School Counsellors (PISCs) experience a range of well-being challenges that are specific to the dynamics of their role. There is a scarcity of empirical research seeking to gain a better understanding of such challenges, along with coping strategies. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to investigate how PISCs maintain their well-being. The research used Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis applied to semi-structured interviews. Eight PISCs were recruited. The analysis revealed three overarching themes: (i) workload and role definition challenges, (ii) available support, and (iii) maintaining a balanced lifestyle. Findings showed that the study participants often have ill-defined roles, leading to role confusion and work overload. A key implication is that systematic provision is recommended for supporting PISCs’ well-being.
对专业国际学校辅导员所经历的角色和幸福挑战的现象学分析
专业国际学校辅导员(PISCs)经历了一系列特定于其角色动态的福祉挑战。寻求更好地理解这些挑战以及应对策略的实证研究很少。因此,本研究的主要目的是调查PISCs如何维持他们的健康。本研究将解释现象学分析应用于半结构化访谈。招募了8名PISCs。分析揭示了三个主要主题:(i)工作量和角色定义挑战,(ii)现有支持,(iii)维持平衡的生活方式。研究结果表明,研究参与者往往角色不明确,导致角色混乱和工作过载。一个关键的含义是,建议系统地提供支持PISCs的福祉。
