CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS' MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION AND WELL-BEING IN INDONESIA DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

SUMMARY

This descriptive quantitative study aims to explore Christian educators' mental health condition and well-being in Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. Data collection was carried out from March 30 to April 24, 2021. The participants of this study are Christian educators who either teach at Christian, public, or national private schools. The findings show that Christian educators in Indonesia have a high vocational passion (89%), good mental health (97.6%), high level of spiritual well-being (94.8%), relatively good social well-being (82, 8%), economic well-being is quite good (79.4%). In comparison, only 52.8% participants who have high health well-being and 66% who has high life satisfaction. The chisquare test shows that the components of well-being (spiritual, economic, social, and health) significantly affect the level of mental health of educators. The main challenges faced by educators are learning to support technology; teaching and learning activities that are deemed not optimal; attitudes and behavior of students who are less disciplined, polite, cooperative, and motivated; lack of relationships and interactions between teachers and teachers as well as fellow students; and increased workloads and hours leading to physical and mental health exhaustion. The main implication is for the decisionmakers of Christian educational institutions in Indonesia to pay special attention to the health well-being of educators who have experienced physical exhaustion by evaluating and adjusting the expectations and workloads, and developing a well-being ecosystem at school.
