Psychological Wellbeing of Kindergarten Teachers: a Quantitative Review

This study aims to explore the Psychological Wellbeing (PWB) of kindergarten teachers in DKI Jakarta, focusing on the factors influencing their psychological health. A quantitative approach was employed with a descriptive design, involving 260 kindergarten teachers selected through random sampling. The measurement of PWB was conducted using the Psychological Well-Being Scale that has been adapted into Indonesian, which includes six dimensions: self-acceptance, personal growth, positive relationships with others, autonomy, environmental mastery, and purpose in life. The analysis revealed that 65.38% of teachers fell into the low category, with autonomy and environmental mastery showing the lowest average scores of 2.5 and 2.4, respectively. Validity and reliability tests confirmed that the instruments used were both valid and reliable. These findings indicate a significant issue regarding the psychological wellbeing of kindergarten teachers, which could adversely impact teaching quality and child development. Therefore, this study recommends the need for interventions aimed at enhancing PWB through psychosocial support and stress management training programs to foster a more positive learning environment that supports early childhood development.
