A Meta-Analysis of the Prevalence of Mental Health Problems Among Preschool Teachers in Chinese Mainland:2000～2022
The integration and analysis of the prevalence and causes of mental health problems among preschool teachers in Chinese mainland from 2000 to 2022 are crucial for targeted improvements.A meta-analysis of related studies indicated that:1)the prevalence of mental health problems among preschool teachers,in descending order,were depression(11.2%),anxiety(8.2%),obsessive-compulsive(8.1%),somatization(6.6%),hostility(6.4%),and paranoia(5.7%);2)higher prevalence of somatization,obsessive-compulsive,hostility,and paranoid problems in urban areas were found compared to rural areas;3)the prevalence of mental health problems increased over time,especially in depression and obsessive-compulsive problems;4)measurement tools and detection standards were key factors in prevalence discrepancies.Therefore,we call for researchers to develop more precise measurement tools and unified detection standards,to focus on urban preschool teachers,to effectively curb the rise in depression and obsessive-compulsive problems,and to provide support for targeted prevention and intervention measures.
