Keywords:
Psychological resilience, Psychological stress, Educational counselorsAbstract
Abstract: The study aimed to identify the level of psychological immunity and psychological stress among Palestinian school counselors in public schools in the northern governorates and to examine the relationship between them. The study adopted a descriptive correlational approach and was conducted on an available sample of (300) counselors using the Psychological Immunity and Psychological Stress Scales. The results showed that the average level of psychological immunity was (2.46), which is considered moderate, while the average level of psychological stress was (3.95), which is considered high. The findings also revealed a statistically significant negative relationship between psychological immunity and psychological stress, indicating that higher psychological immunity is associated with lower psychological stress. Additionally, the study found no differences in psychological immunity or stress levels based on gender or years of experience, while differences were observed based on the type of residential area. The study recommended enhancing psychological immunity and developing positive thinking skills among counselors to improve their professional performance and help them cope with stress.
