Purpose: This study was conducted to provide a basic material regarding researches about mental health and teachers´ supplementary education after examining teachers´ recognition about elementary school students´ mental health. Methods: The subjects were 418 teachers who worked in 15 elementary schools located in Seoul. Based on the study device produced and used by Chun, J. S and Kwak, Y. S (1998), the questionnaire modified and supplemented by this researcher was used through document study. The content of questionnaire was composed of a total of 39 questions. The data were collected from November, 4 to December, 14 in 2002.
Results:
1. Students´ common problems recognized by teachers were absence of concentration, lying, and lacking in learning ability, in that order. They were generally perceived more seriously when the teachers were women, younger, and unmarried.
2. The biggest difficulties teachers felt when dealing with students´ mental health problems were recognizing ´The numbers of students to take care of are too many´, and ´There´s no extra time because of many classes or tasks´. They thought it tougher when they were women and younger. As for the requests for improvement, the answer ´The number of students to undertake should be reduced´ had the highest rate. Then, ´Individual programs for problem students´, ´Counseling professionals or referring doctors connected with schools´, ´Extra time for counseling with students´, in that order, were also frequent. The request level was higher when they were women, unmarried, and younger.
3. Most answered they get help from ´fellow teachers´ when they cannot solve students´ mental health problems by themselves. ´Parents´ was the second. Regarding how to get information about students´ mental health, most selected ´reference to fellow teachers/friends around´ and ´counseling with parents of students having problems´. As for subjects´ general characteristics, the cases when they ask for help from fellow teachers was significantly many when they were women and younger, but when they ask for help from nursing teachers was significantly rare. Also, unmarried teachers had significantly more cases of getting help from fellow teachers and mental health professionals than married teachers, but they had significantly fewer cases of getting help from parents and nursing teachers.
Conclusions: According to the above results, it is considered that this study can be used as a basic material to develop teacher education programs for school mental health promotion. Moreover, a regular supplementary education program concerning mental health should be implemented through governmental aid for policy and principal´s active support for understanding and using good mental health. Also, a systematic request scheme has to be prepared to let teachers help promote students´ mental health as well as their own and get aid from mental health professionals. Then, concrete education programs should be developed in order to implement a preventive school mental health project.
