保健室登校に対する一般教諭の態度を規定する心理的・社会的環境要因の検討

抄録

Japanese schools commonly use "school attendance in health room" as a measure to determine the need for educational support for students facing difficulties such as refusal to attend school. Since this support strategy requires collaboration with schoolteachers, it is essential to examine the associations of their attitudes regarding educational support provision with the relevant psychological and socio-environmental factors. Thus, we investigated schoolteachers' (n=157) attitudes, especially negative attitudes, towards school attendance in the health room program and analyzed their underlying psychological and socio-environmental factors. The current findings demonstrated that negative attitudes were significantly associated with the psychological factors of help-seeking preference and prioritizing the group over individuals during classroom management. The results further suggested that adequate help-seeking preference and perceptions of sufficiently collegial work environment among schoolteachers mitigated their negative attitudes. Based on these findings, we discuss potential strategies, for psycho-educational service provision, focusing on the role of the Yogo teacher.
