Detailed Description

This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study in which investigators will examine the effects of the body awareness levels of our teachers, who work in different institutions under different conditions, on their work motivation and quality of life, and also examine the posture of our teachers. After obtaining the necessary permissions from our volunteer teachers, the questionnaires and evaluation forms will be administered by a single therapist. Statistical analyzes will be made in SPSS, JASP, JAMOVI, R and Excel package programs, including sociodemographic data.

The body awareness of the teachers included in the study will be evaluated with the Body Awareness Questionnaire, their work motivation with the Job Motivation Scale, their quality of life with the Nottingham Health Profile questionnaire, and their posture assessment with the New York Posture Analysis method. In addition, the age, education level, experience, branch, body mass index, harmful habits and any diseases of the teachers participating in the study will be questioned and recorded. Questionnaires and measurements will be administered objectively by a single therapist.

A selection will be made from among the teachers who work in the educational institutions where permission is taken, who agree to be included in the study. All assessments will be performed by a single researcher during the study.

Face-to-face communication will be established with the participants by the responsible and assistant researcher in a way that will not affect the course hours.

According to the research, demographic data were obtained mainly with the Sociodemographic Information Form. its measurements were collected with body awareness, the Job Motivation Questionnaire, the Nottingham Health Profile Questionnaire, and the New York Posture, as evidenced by studies.

Participants, namely our teachers, will learn body awareness better with this study. At the same time, investigators think that participants will better understand the effects of body awareness levels on their working life and quality of life. Therefore, realizing that teachers, who are from the occupational group that has the most impact on the individual after the family, will have positive effects on students and society. The fact that the individuals who teach are good in every sense will lead to a better generation and a better society.
