Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perceived stress quality of life and the psychological health of primary school teachers in Gogan County in the academic year (1400-1399) using a descriptive-correlation research method with stratified sampling. The statistical population of this study includes all primary school teachers in Gogan County, and the sample of 63 people was calculated using the Cochran formula and selected using stratified random sampling. To collect the required information, three standard mental health questionnaires were used: Goldbrack and Hiller (1979); the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (1996); and the Cohen et al. (1983) Perceived Stress Questionnaire. All three questionnaires are standard instruments, have been standardized, and have the necessary validity. After collecting the information, the Pearson correlation test was used to analyze the data. The results showed that the quality of life and psychological health of elementary teachers explain 14% of their perceived stress.
