Tetiana STANKEVYCH, Leading Researcher of the Laboratory of the Social Determinants of Population Health, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Senior Researcher, made a presentation on «Application of Psychological Tools in the Educational Process: Assessment of the Impact on Mental Health of Teachers

The report highlights the results of a two-year study of the mental health of teachers who used «psychological minutes» in the educational process in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. The data obtained show that despite the widespread integration of psychological tools into the educational process, no positive impact on the psycho-emotional state of teachers themselves has been recorded.

This suggests the need to reassess approaches to psychological support programs for teachers in general secondary education.

It is also necessary to continue monitoring the mental health of all participants in the educational process under martial law to improve mental health support strategies.
