Abstract

The significant disruption of COVID-19 on schooling has heightened concerns about its impact on educators' wellbeing. The current study examined how educators' worry regarding the COVID-19 pandemic compared to their worry about other extreme events, such as natural disasters and critical incidents (a death or suicide of a child, young person, or colleague). Educators report that they were most worried about COVID-19. Educators working in preschools were more worried about COVID-19 and natural disasters than those in primary and secondary schools. However, worry regarding critical incidents increased with the age of students taught. Worry was influenced by socio-economic advantage (SEIFA), whereby educators working in higher SEIFA communities were less worried about natural disasters and critical incidents but shared similar levels of worry about COVID-19 as educators in lower SEIFA communities. With a better understanding about how different types of worry and levels of worry vary across different educator groups and different contexts, more effective supports can be developed and offered.

澳大利亚教育工作者对新冠肺炎和其他极端事件的担忧
新冠肺炎对学校教育的重大破坏加剧了人们对其对教育工作者福祉影响的担忧。当前的研究考察了教育工作者对新冠肺炎大流行的担忧与他们对其他极端事件的担忧,如自然灾害和重大事件(儿童、年轻人或同事死亡或自杀)的担忧。教育工作者报告说,他们最担心的是新冠肺炎。学龄前教育工作者比中小学教育工作者更担心新冠肺炎和自然灾害。然而,随着学生年龄的增长,对重大事件的担忧也在增加。担忧受到社会经济优势(SEIFA)的影响,即在较高的SEIFA社区工作的教育工作者对自然灾害和重大事件的担忧较少,但对新冠肺炎的担忧程度与在较低SEIFA社区的教育工作者相似。通过更好地了解不同教育群体和不同背景下不同类型的担忧和担忧程度的差异,可以开发和提供更有效的支持。
