Volume : I, Issue : VI, July - 2011 A STUDY ON CAUSES AND COPING STRATEGIES FOR STRESS AMONG COLLEGE TEACHERS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO COIMBATORE REGION. K.ARUL Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : “Teaching is becoming more challenging as a profession more paperwork,
more bureaucracy and more unruly classes” Teaching can be a stressful job, not
only is there pressure to be an excellent role model but the combination of
students, their parents, management, administrative work and faculty activities can
get overwhelming at times. It’s a well known fact that over 90% of all teachers
experience elevated stress levels. This stress is also heightened by the economy,
with low salaries and fear of job losses. Overcrowded classrooms, grading
assignments, angry parents can easily escalate a teacher’s stress level to a point
that it adversely affects their health. If you have read earlier articles on symptoms
of elevated stress you’ll know that common ailments like headaches, backaches,
constant irritation, eating disorders, restiveness and others can directly be
attributed to increase in stress. If untreated it could turn into further serious issues
like heart disorders, severe depression and hypertension. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : K.ARUL, (2011).
