“…According to Ede et al, a component of REBT significantly improved parents' ability to control their stress when raising children with autism spectrum disorders. Furthermore, teachers' stress levels decreased significantly with rational-emotive health education, as reported in a previous report (Obiagu et al, 2021). Ogba et al (2020) reported that REOHC substantially decreased the subjective perceptions of stress at work as well as its external manifestations among the participants.…”

“…After being exposed to REFHT, parents of children with autistic spectrum disorders showed a considerable improvement in their ability to manage parenting stress (Ede et al, 2020). This is consistent with a study, showing that rational-emotive health education significantly reduced stress in teachers (Obiagu et al, 2021). Ogba et al (2020) reported that REOHC significantly decreased the subjective perceptions of participants about the condition and its external manifestations.…”

Several studies have reported the prevalence of stressors and work- related conditions among educators in Nigerian school environments, but there are limited reports on the coping mechanisms of physics teachers. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effect of rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on stress management among secondary school physics teachers. A randomized controlled group trial design was used, and the sample population comprised 64 physics teachers who served as participants. Pretest, posttest, and follow-up data were collected using the Job Stress Questionnaire (α=.73). The results showed that participants undergoing REBT experienced a significantly greater reduction in work- related stress compared to those in the control group. The findings of this study were expected to contribute to the knowledge base in measurement, counseling, and physics education. In addition, the incorporation of REBT programs was recommended to assist physics teachers in effectively managing their work-related stress.

Purpose: This study investigated how rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) helped secondary school physics teachers manage work-related stress. Design/methods/approach: 86 secondary school physics teachers participated in this study using a randomised control trial group design as the study population. An appropriately validated and trial-tested job stress questionnaire was used to gather data for the study (α=.84). Prior to receiving a 12-week REBT intervention treatment, the participants underwent a pretest. After the intervention ended, the subjects underwent a posttest and were also given a follow-up test two months later. Data generated for this research was analysed analysis of variance (specifically repeated analysis of variance). Findings/Results: The outcome of the research revealed that the work stress of the physics teachers exposed to REBT was reduced significantly more than those of the control group.Implications: The research implication is that the work stress of physics teachers can be better managed using the REBT program. The study contributes to advancing the therapeutic space and concern that REBT treatment can be applied.

Background In the Nigerian education system, most especially at the primary level, teachers experience varied forms of mental health issues. This is likely to be so as primary school teachers carry out a lot of responsibilities ranging from teaching all the primary school subjects to taking care of their families. Studies have revealed that mental health issues limit the academic responsibilities of teachers. However, there is a dearth of literature on mental health issues management among primary school teachers. Objective This study explored the effect of rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on work stress management among primary school teachers. Methods Using a randomised control trial group experimental design, this research used 45 primary school teachers as the study participants. Data for the study were collected using a work stress questionnaire which was properly validated and trial tested (α = .84). The participants were pretested before being exposed to a 12-week REBT intervention treatment. Thereafter, the participants were post-tested and as well administered a follow-up measure after two months of the termination of the intervention. Data collected were analysed using mixed-design repeated analysis of variance. Result It was revealed that the work stress of the primary school teachers who were exposed to REBT intervention significantly (p < .05) reduced after the treatment. Conclusion REBT intervention had a significant effect on work stress management among primary school teachers. It was, therefore, recommended that REBT intervention should be used as a workplace stress management intervention among primary school teachers.
