” ... jag känner att jag ger, jag ger verkligen mitt allt, men det känns ibland att det inte är, det räcker inte”

- Abstract
- In Sweden, thousands of people work as high school teachers and of these, 7% left the profession in 2019. One reason is stress. Previous research shows that teachers are 50% more likely to suffer from stress-related fatigue compared to other occupational groups and one reason for this is a lack of balance between work and private life. The purpose of this study is to investigate how high school teachers themselves experience their work and how it affects their private and emotional lives. This was investigated through semi-structured interviews with life story features. The study's conclusions are that the teachers in the study carry their work with them almost all of the time, even when they try to disconnect from it or slow down. They... (More)

The study's conclusions are that the teachers in the study carry their work with them almost all of the time, even when they try to disconnect from it or slow down. They like their work, sometimes a little too much, because it often drains them of energy, which means that they have less time and energy for family, friends and themselves. The profession involves a lot of emotional work, which is one reason why it affects them so much. The work also affects their emotional life and they often come home stressed, frustrated or with a feeling that they are not enough. At work, it is often difficult to distinguish the back stage from the front stage, which means that they are given few opportunities for recovery. (Less)
- Abstract (Swedish)
- I Sverige jobbar tusentals människor som gymnasielärare och av dessa lämnade 7% yrket under 2019. En anledning är stress. Tidigare forskning visar att lärare löper 50% högre risk att drabbas av stressrelaterad utmattning jämfört med andra yrkesgrupper och ett skäl till detta är bristande balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur gymnasielärare själva upplever sitt arbete och hur det påverkar deras privat- och känsloliv. Detta undersöktes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med livsberättelsdrag. Studiens slutsatser är att lärarna i studien till stor del bär med sig sitt arbete hela tiden, även när de försöker koppla bort det eller dra ner på tempot. De tycker om sitt arbete, ibland lite för mycket, för... (More)

Studiens slutsatser är att lärarna i studien till stor del bär med sig sitt arbete hela tiden, även när de försöker koppla bort det eller dra ner på tempot. De tycker om sitt arbete, ibland lite för mycket, för det dränerar dem ofta på energi vilket gör att de har mindre tid och ork till familj, vänner och sig själva. Yrket innebär mycket emotionellt arbete vilket är en anledning till att det påverkar dem så mycket. Arbetet påverkar också deras känsloliv och gör att de kan komma hem stressade, frustrerade eller med en känsla av att de inte räcker till. På arbetet är det ofta svårt att skilja den bakre regionen från den främre vilket gör att de ges få möjligheter till återhämtning. (Less)
