After class, I am busy preparing for lessons, writing lesson plans, correcting homework, and working at the desk. This is the daily life of many teachers.
Due to the particularity of the occupation, the health is plagued by diseases. According to relevant survey data, 70% of teachers are in the state of sub-health. High-intensity work has caused a lot of physical and psychological pressure on teachers. chronic pharyngitis, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, veins Varicose, etc. have become teacher occupational disease.
In a survey of middle school teachers, the results show that it is not that the older the teacher, the more the disease-36-45 years old, has become the group with the largest number of teachers.
Related survey data show that 32% of teachers pay attention to their bodies, 58.9% of teachers pay attention to their bodies in general, and 9.1% of teachers pay little attention to their bodies . Only 11.7% of teachers have a strong awareness of their own body protection, and 46.1% of teachers do not go to the doctor as a last resort.
