A Relationship between Self-esteem and Perceived stress among Private School Teachers

Abstract

Background: The influence of shared genetic vulnerability is well-known in the development of alcohol use disorder. However, there is a dearth of studies on shared environments. Hence, the present study aimed to ascertain the influence of shared environments in the development of alcohol use disorder. Aim: To examine the influence of adverse childhood experiences, parental bonding, and temperament in the development of alcohol use disorder. Methods: Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines were followed. Studies were identified through search engines such as PubMed, Embase, and PsychInfo, CINAHL databases. Peer-reviewed articles in English published during 2000 - 2021 were included for the review. Results: About 47 articles were considered for the scoping review. Shared environmental factors such as adverse childhood experiences or childhood trauma within 18 years of life, novelty, adventureseeking, cyclothymia, and immediate need for gratification contribute to alcohol use disorder development. Positive parenting is associated with a lower incidence of AUD. Conclusion: Understanding the influence of shared environments and providing tailor-made psycho-social interventions would reduce the risk and prevent alcohol use disorder development.. Keywords: Temperament, parental bonding, adverse childhood consequences. How to cite: Gupta, S., Kumar. S.

The self-esteem of a teacher as a person is very important, as the chances of a teacher's being of maximum benefit to the self-esteem of pupils are very small unless they maintain their own self-esteem at a high level. Aims :To analyze the relationship between self-esteem and perceived stress among private school teachers. Methods:In the current study, data from 100 teachers working in private schools in Delhi-NCRusing random purposive sampling was collected. Self-esteem was assessed using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used to assess perceived stress. The data was analyzed using the statistical software SPSS (version 20.0). Results and Conclusion: The majority of the private school teachers had average self-esteem and perceived stress. Female teachers are far better at coping with stress than male teachers. It was also found that teachers of private schools who live in a joint family had better self-esteem and comparatively more perceived stress than teachers of private schools who live in a nuclear family. Further, unmarried teachers had better self-esteem than married and divorced teachers of private schools and divorced teachers had less perceived stress than married and unmarried teachers of private schools. We as a society need to take a proactive approach to help prospective teachers deal with the everyday problems they are being faced with.
