【 摘 要 】

Teachers’ profession is widely described as a mentally challenging one, often leading to burnout. As emotional exhaustion is higher among representatives of this occupation in comparison to other highly emotionally challenging professions, it is important to help teachers gain necessary skills and tools in order to maintain good emotional and overall wellbeing, and effectively cope with daily stressors. The aim of the study described in this paper was to assess the impact of a 5-module emotional intelligence developing training program on teachers’ psycho-emotional health. Study sample consisted of 45 teachers, who took part in the study, filling in the research questionnaires before and after the completion of the designed training program. Participants were asked to subjectively rate their level of stress and other parameters, defining their subjective wellbeing. Results of the study revealed that after completing the training program, participants indicated a statistically significantly lower level of stress (p< 0.01). Also, participants’ subjective evaluation of the quality of their social relationships and their overall wellbeing was significantly higher (p< 0.01) after the training program completion.
