Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to investigate how high school teachers in physical education (PE) apply stress management during the school sports classes to prevent stress- related illness among high school students. The purpose was also trying to clarify which factors influence if and how PE teachers include stress management in teaching, and if they experience any obstacles or difficulties in preventing the subject from being included in a operative way. In the chosen method, qualitative semi- structured interviews were conducted by purposeful sampling of six PE teachers employed at six different high schools. A content analysis was used to identify codes and categories in the transcribed data. The main findings showed that PE teachers included activities that can be related to stress management, but in a small and varied proportion. The most common practical tools incorporated in their classes were yoga and relaxation techniques, as well as theoretical lessons related to the topic. Obstacles included insufficient knowledge, lack of description in the syllabus as well as time constraints. The PE teachers perceived students’ need to handle stress, but sometimes it was difficult to determine when the need really existed. All PE teachers had a positive attitude towards including stress management in sports classes and perceived mainly advantages. However, reduction in time for physical activity was seen as a disadvantage. The clearest conclusion drawn from this study was that the PE teachers felt that there were shortcomings in both the curriculum description and the PE teacher education that could constitute an obstacle to including stress management in the lessons in a well- functioning way. More research as well as development and implementation of evidence- based stress management programs in syllabus at schools and the education program for teachers are needed.

Abstract [sv]

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka hur idrottslärare på gymnasieskolor inkluderar stresshantering i undervisningen inom kursen idrott och hälsa. Syftet var även att försöka klargöra vilka faktorer som påverkar om och hur mycket idrottslärare berör stresshantering, och om de upplever några hinder eller svårigheter med att lära ut stresshantering i undervisningen på ett välfungerande sätt.

Metoden för datainsamlingen var kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer. Urvalet bestod av sex yrkesverksamma idrottslärare i gymnasieskolan. En innehållsanalys genomfördes för att identifiera koder och kategorier utifrån det transkriberade materialet. Huvudresultatet visade att idrottslärarna inkluderar moment i undervisningen som kan relateras till stresshantering, men i en liten och varierad omfattning. De vanligaste aktiviteterna var yoga och avslappningsövningar, men även teoretiska moment där relaterade ämnen berördes. Faktorer som kunde utgöra hinder var bland annat otillräcklig kunskap, bristande beskrivning i kursplanen samt begränsat tidsutrymme. Idrottslärarna uppfattade att elever har behov av att lära sig att hantera stress, men samtidigt upplevdes det ibland vara svårt att avgöra när behovet verkligen fanns. Samtliga idrottslärare hade en positiv attityd till att inkludera stresshantering i undervisningen och såg främst fördelar, men en nackdel ansågs vara att det kunde minska tiden för fysisk aktivitet. Den tydligaste slutsatsen av studiens resultat var att idrottslärarna upplevde att det fanns brister i både kursplanens beskrivning och idrottslärarutbildningen vilket kunde utgöra hinder för att inkludera stresshantering i undervisningen på ett välfungerande sätt. Mer forskning samt utveckling och implementering av evidensbaserade stresshanteringsprogram i skolans kursplan och i lärarutbildningen behövs.
