Abstract

Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) was used to investigate the current status of psychological health of 222 teachers randomly selected from 40 special education schools or special education centres in Yunnan Province, to systematically investigate the level of psychological health status of special education teachers and the influence of demographic characteristics on the level of psychological health. The results indicate that: the psychological health of special education teachers in Yunnan Province in terms of SCL-90 scores on each factor and total scores was significantly lower than the national norm, higher than that of primary and secondary school teachers, and lower than that of early childhood teachers in Yunnan Province. The top three psychological problems were obsessive-compulsive symptoms, interpersonal sensitivity symptoms, and depressive symptoms. The psychological health of special school teachers in Yunnan Province is not optimistic. The relevant departments should pay attention to the psychological health of special education teachers and strive to improve the psychological health of special education teachers through various channels and ways.
