A Meta-Analysis of the Prevalence of Mental Health Problems Among University Teachers in Chinese Mainland:2000～2022
To map out the basic situation of mental health problems among university teachers in China,a meta-analytic approach was used to synthesize and analyze the studies about the prevalence of mental health problems published from 2000 to 2022.The results found that:1)the prevalence of mental health problems among university teachers was,in descending order,sleep problems(22.6%),obsessive-compulsive(22.3%),depression(21.3%),anxiety(18.6%),somatization(15.3%),paranoia(14.1%),and hostility(14.0%).2)Publication age,measurement tools,school type,and economic region were significant factors influencing mental health problems among university teachers.Specifically,the anxiety of university teachers tended to deteriorate over the years.The prevalence of teachers'anxiety,depression and sleep problems was closely related to the measurement tools.The mental health problems of teachers in general universities were higher than those of teachers in vocational universities.Teachers in the eastern region had more serious anxiety and depression than those in the central and western regions.In the future,in order to achieve the overall improvement of teachers'mental health,more attention should be paid to teachers in general universities and in eastern region of China;also,it is necessary to develop the measurement tools specifically for teachers'mental health problems,and to curb the spread of teachers'anxiety.
