Historically, research on educator wellbeing has focused on ill health including stress, burnout and emotional exhaustion. There is a dearth of research examining healthy workplace wellbeing among early childhood educators, which makes developing strategies to support their wellbeing difficult. Moreover, there is a lack of clarity about the concept of educator workplace wellbeing and a lack of understanding of the complex interplay between factors supporting and thwarting wellbeing within long day-care centres. This two-phase study used a mixed-methods research design. Presented in this paper are the findings from phase one. Semi-structured in-depth interviews with 22 early childhood educators in long day-care centres reflected on educator workplace wellbeing as a broad concept encompassing social, emotional, physical and economic factors. Educator ‘voices’ provided insight into the individual, relational and contextual elements impacting on their personal workplace wellbeing.

找到你的部落！幼儿教育工作者定义并确定支持其工作场所健康的关键因素

从历史上看，对教育者福祉的研究一直集中在身体不适，包括压力，倦怠和情绪疲惫。缺乏对幼儿教育者健康的工作场所健康状况进行研究的研究，这使得制定支持他们的健康状况的策略变得困难。此外，对教育工作者工作场所幸福的概念缺乏明确的认识，也缺乏对长期日托中心内支持和阻碍幸福的因素之间复杂相互作用的理解。这个分为两个阶段的研究使用了混合方法研究设计。本文介绍的是第一阶段的发现。在漫长的日托中心对22位幼儿教育者进行的半结构化深度访谈反映了教育者工作场所的幸福感是一个广泛的概念，涵盖了社会，情感，身体和经济因素。
