An Overview of the Impact of Teaching Careers on Mothers' Psychological Well-being

Abstract

This study examined the psychological well-being of mothers who worked as teachers at SDN Banjaran II Kediri. Using qualitative methods and a descriptive study design, three teachers were interviewed. The results revealed variations in the description of psychological well-being among the three respondents. All three research subjects exhibited self-acceptance, building positive relationships with others, personal growth, self-autonomy, and the ability to control the environment. However, only two subjects achieved the dimension of life goals. This study highlights the influence of school and government policies, gratitude, and work experience that supported the psychological well-being of the participants.
