Qualitative Analysis of Psychological Well- Being of Military Personnel and Educators

Abstract

This research delves into the psychological well-being of military personnel and educators, exploring the intricate relationship between stressors, coping mechanisms, support systems, and work satisfaction. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of high levels of pressure and stress, exploring coping strategies and support networks, and assessing the passion for their respective jobs. A purposive sampling method was employed, selecting five military personnel and five educators for in-depth interviews, totalling ten responses. The results revealed significant insights into the psychological experiences of both groups. High levels of pressure and stress were found to be common among military personnel and educators, impacting their mental health and well-being. Coping strategies and support systems played a crucial role in managing stress and fostering resilience. Despite the challenges, participants displayed a strong passion for their jobs, which contributed positively to their overall well-being. The findings highlight the importance of addressing psychological factors in promoting resilience and maintaining mental health in high-pressure environments.
