ABSTRACT Teachers’ job characteristics in Germany appear to predispose this population to high stress levels without sufficient recovery periods. This study aimed to analyse changes in the recovery-stress state of 40 German secondary school teachers to assess the health-related status quo of this population. The role of the school type for this development was also analysed. The Recovery-Stress Questionnaire was administered four times (twice before, twice after the Christmas holiday period). A significant decrease in stress over the holidays followed by an increased stress level after the holidays was found. An increase in recovery was noted after the Christmas break which declined by late January. The school type was of subordinate relevance regarding the development of stress and recovery. The outcomes of this study indicate a fade-out of the beneficial holiday effects and underline the importance of the optimal use of recovery times to deal with occupational stress.

德国中学教师对压力和恢复感的看法变化

摘要德国教师的工作特点似乎使该人群处于高压力水平，而没有足够的恢复期。这项研究旨在分析40名德国中学教师恢复压力状态的变化，以评估该人群的健康状况。还分析了学校类型对这种发展的作用。《康复-压力问卷》共进行了四次（圣诞节假期之前两次，圣诞节假期之后两次）。发现假期期间的压力显着降低，随后发现假期后压力水平增加。圣诞假期结束后，复苏有所增加，到一月下旬有所下降。学校类型在压力和康复方面具有次要的意义。
