Résumé : |
Context: Teachers globally, are facing mental health challenges and the literature shows that they have a higher level of mental health issues and particularly work-related burnout. Teachers’ mental health has an impact their relationship with learners and their academic outcomes. COVID-19 pandemic worsens that situation. Ugandan educative system presents several challenges for teachers and those challenges might be unbalanced between private and public sectors. This study investigated the association between school type (private/public) and work-related burnout among teachers in Uganda, while also exploring their experiences during school closures due to the pandemic. The study aimed to fill gaps in the literature, specifically in the Ugandan context, regarding teachers' level of burnout, differences between public and private schools, factors associated with burnout, and the impact of COVID-19 school closures on teachers.
Methods: Data were collected from 1021 teachers in public and private schools. The schools were randomly sampled from a pool of educational institutions participating in a violence against children prevention program called the Good School Toolkit. We measured teachers’ WRB using the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory. Descriptive and statistical analyses were conducted, including logistic regression to examine the direct effect of the type of school on the prevalence of burnout symptoms. Variables such as age, gender, marital status, seniority, and school level were included as potential confounders. The study also explored the factors related to school closures and their impact on teacher burnout. Results: The prevalence of work-related burnout symptoms, assessed using the Work-Related Burnout scale of the CBI, was 21.8% (223 teachers) in the overall study population. This proportion was slightly lower in public schools (21.7% or 183 teachers) compared to private schools (22.5% or 40 teachers). Teachers in private schools had 1.60 times higher odds of experiencing work-related burnout symptoms compared to those in public schools, after adjusting for confounders. We identified several teachers’ characteristics differing between public and private schools in Uganda such as median age, marital status, and gender. Factors associated with work-related burnout included symptoms of general anxiety disorder, mental health literacy, job satisfaction, perceived self-efficacy, and relationships with caregivers. Teachers' perceptions of life balance during school closure, relationships within the school, their work, coping strategies, and perceived support from the school were significantly associated with burnout. Conclusion: Private schools teachers in our study had a higher odds ratio of WRB after adjusting for confounders using a logistic regression. A longitudinal study focusing on the different outcomes and factors influencing teachers’ mental health should be done to refine and strengthen these results. |
