Abstract

Introduction

Presently, the majority of instruments assessing coping processes are not specific to teachers.

Objective

This study aims to explore psychometric properties of a coping scale specifically designed for teachers, as well as its associations with burnout.

Method

A sample of 237 teachers (63% primary/secondary vs. 37% post-compulsory) completed French versions of the Coping Scale by Dewe and Shirom-Melamed Burnout Measure.

Results

Results of confirmatory factor analyses show the satisfactory psychometric properties of a shortened version of the coping scale, which is invariant across gender and levels of education. Multiple regression analysis suggests that the use of various coping processes may reduce the risk of burnout.

Conclusion

Results highlight the need to further explore the stressors associated with teaching and inclusive education, in order to define specific coping processes and thus substantially improve this scale.

教师应对与职业倦怠：Dewe法语版应对量表的心理测量特征探讨

目前，大多数评估应对过程的工具都不是针对教师的。目的探讨专为教师设计的应对量表的心理测量特征及其与职业倦怠的关系。方法选取237名教师（63%为小学/中学教师，37%为义务教育后教师）完成Dewe和Shirom-Melamed职业倦怠量表的法文应对量表。结果验证性因素分析结果表明，精简版应对量表具有令人满意的心理测量特性，且在不同性别和教育水平下保持不变。多元回归分析表明，使用不同的应对过程可以降低职业倦怠的风险。结论需要进一步探索与教学和全纳教育相关的压力源，以定义具体的应对过程，从而实质性地改进该量表。
