Work conditions: a health risk factor in physical education teachers?
The purpose of this study was to: (1) obtain an insight into the morbidity of the physical education (PE) teachers in primary and secondary schools in the Republic of Croatia, and (2) explore the association of the teachers’ health status and their satisfaction with work conditions. A sample of 479 teachers was investigated applying a questionnaire covering personal/demographic data, health status, life-style habits, and workplace satisfaction. Mann-Whitney U-test was used to determine whether differences in workplace satisfaction between PE teachers with and without health disturbances were significant. 62.8% (n=301) teachers reported having health disturbances. The most frequently affected organ systems were musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and respiratory. A significantly higher proportion of the teachers without health impairments reported being satisfied or very satisfied with six workplace aspects: overall job satisfaction, work conditions, interpersonal relations, pupils’ behaviour, relations with supervisors, and rewards. Further research on work-related health risk factors in PE teachers in Croatia will provide ground for health enhancement interventions.
