In the past two decades,with deepening of education reform,middle school teachers'work become heavier.The mental health problems of sec-ondary school teachers have increased.In order to explore the characteristics,in-fluencing factors,and development trends of mental health problems of secondary school teachers in the past two decades,this study adopted a cross-temporal meta-analysis,including 100 studies(n=30 729)from 1998 to 2020.All stud-ies reported six mental health problems indicators of anxiety,depression,somati-zation,obsessive-compulsive,paranoid,and hostile problems among secondary school teachers,as measured by SCL-90.The results showed that:① From 1998 to 2020,the mental health problems of secondary school teachers were on the rise;② The mental health problems of junior high school teachers,homeroom teachers,and rural teachers were more serious and worsened with the increase of time;③ The level of residents'consumption,the number of schools,and the number of teachers positively predicted the mental health problems of secondary school teachers;and ④ It was predicted that the mental health of secondary school teachers would develop steadily in the future.All in all,to improve the mental health of secondary school teachers,we should:① grasp the trend and stop the deterioration of the mental health of secondary school teachers;② improve the mental health level of secondary school teachers as a whole,start-ing from the macro,middle and micro levels;and ③ reduce the mental health of teachers with serious problems to break through the key point.
