Abstract
[Objective]To explore the relationship between occupation stress and mental health of university teachers.[Methods]259 university teachers were investigated by Teacher Occupational Stress Scale and SCL-90.[Results]There was a significant positive correlation between occupational stress and mental health of university teachers(r = 0.376,P﹤0.01). There was a significant correlation between individual stress and mental health of university teachers(r = 0.396,P﹤0.01);Regression analysis showed individual stress and occupational stress could better predict mental health of university teachers,Both could explain 17% of mental health variance. Regression equation:Mental health of university teachers = 0.261*individual stress +0.176* occupational stress.[Conclusion]Occupational stress was an important influence factor for mental health of university teachers. The bigger the occupational stress of university teachers had,the worse their mental health had;especially individual stress was the best influence factor.
