“…Hyun-Joo et al [78] state that depressive symptoms in teachers not only influence the quality of their teaching practice but also their work-related wellbeing, including their professional motivation and stress. Likewise, Kyriacou [79] established that stress in teachers can be defined as the experience of unpleasant and negative emotions, resulting from some aspects of their work [31].…”

The present research was carried out in Spain during the COVID-19 pandemic following emergency school closures in an attempt to avoid the spread of infection. As a result, university students undertaking the final year of education degrees (teaching placements) have been obliged to deliver their teaching from home, adapting their teaching contexts to learning in virtual settings. A novel instrument was designed and validated in order to analyze the impact of learning environments and psychological factors in university students during a period of teaching placements. This took place in an adaptive context (state of confinement). Associations were determined between learning environments and psychological factors in adaptive contexts, in relation to the group to which they belonged (whether undertaking a degree in primary education, physical education and sport, early education or social education), and sex. The present study used a Delphi method, alongside a descriptive and quantitative analysis. The data demonstrate that learning environments differ according to the degree studied. The four analyzed groups revealed significant differences in relation to learning environments and psychological factors in adaptive confinement contexts. The subjects of Primary and Social Education were seen to be related with a greater possibility of being overwhelmed and reporting difficulties. Those more used to physical exercise showed more positive psychological indices. Females reported more negative responses. The conclusion reached is that the results of the present research will enable future additional multi-dimensional analysis to be conducted.

“…King et al ( 2015 ) found that when educators reported experiencing greater financial well-being—defined as wages, and perceptions of the ability to meet expenses—they seemed to demonstrate greater emotional availability in interactions with children. Early childhood educators with higher pay and experience had higher motivation to work in ECCE settings and reported less stress (Jeon et al, 2019 ). Yet, financial resources for early childhood educators, who often work long hours for poor pay, are limited.…”

“…Given the heightened responsibility of teachers' roles, the teaching profession can be rewarding and stressful simultaneously (Jeon, Kwon, Walsh, et al, 2019). The present study indicated that receiving supports from family and friends and as well as spiritual convictions have played an essential role in teachers' psychological well-being (Brouskeli, Kaltsi, & Loumakou, 2018;Jeon, Buettner, & Grant, 2018;Malik, Björkqvist, & Österman, 2017).…”

“…Consequently, teacher psychological well-being is vital to the supportive teacher-student relationship, teaching-learning process, and learning effectiveness. As a developing country, Malaysia has retained more prominence on the population's mental health, including teachers, whereby grasping, and practising psychological well-being is vital for professional motivation (Jeon et al, 2019). Subsequently, psychological well-being has emerged as a healthy and positive attitude in enhancing teachers' psychological well-being.…”

Universally, the educational systems are undergoing restructuring and transformations. The role of teachers has increased following this reformation and experiencing growing pressure to perform. Given that the nature of the teaching profession is both challenging and rewarding, it is vital to understand teachers' psychological well-being to support the mental health of this population. This study aimed to understand better the subjective perspectives regarding the contributor factors to psychological well-being among teachers. A consensual qualitative research approach was adopted in this study by collecting data through in-depth, semi-structured interviews. Interviews are used to understand the participants' narrative descriptions in-depth and uncover the meaning of their experiences, beliefs, and values. Seven Malaysian teachers were recruited from local school settings through purposive sampling. Data analysis involved an open-coding process in deriving themes from the participants' responses. Findings revealed five themes that indicate contributor factors for psychological well-being: positive attitudes, spiritual convictions, family and friends' support, personal growth, and personal responsibility. The practical implications of teachers' psychological well-being, mental health and psychotherapy practice, and future research were also discussed in this work.
