The Impact of Holistic Health Practices on Educator Stress and Burnout in a Post-COVID-19 Era
Amanda A. Setree
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Point Park University
This study explores the importance of holistic health practices based on evidence from various studies ranging from stress and burnout prevention from holistic practices to administrative support in an educational setting. Through researching these studies, new questions arose as to whether a limit exists to the preventative measures that may be taken to help alleviate stress and the subsequent impact. Current resources appear unclear if there are compounding benefits that may be achieved by attempting multiple paths to correct the impact of COVID-19-induced stress and burnout. The research conducted during this study explored the causes of stress and burnout along with the many ways that stress and burnout reduction occur. The researcher then designed a survey that collected data from 68 educators on perceived stress and burnout levels, holistic health practices employed by educators, educator logging practices, and the administrative support given to educators. The survey produced significant data that indicated the employment of activity, social interaction, adequate rest, and a nutritious diet correlated the most with lower levels of stress. The researcher then suggested different ways to practically apply the findings in an educational setting, like having activity options available in schools, making nutritious eating more accessible, moderating work-life balance to ensure recovery time, and creating time to socialize. As a result, this study hopes to encourage educators to employ holistic health practices, administrators to develop cultures that promote holistic health practices, and researchers to further explore the benefits and interactions of holistic health practices specific to educators.
