Educational environment in boarding schools and psychological well-being of teachers and students

Abstract

Beyond technical and scientific aspects, school environment is important for the overall
development of the human being. Examples of this are the educational activities aimed at
promoting the health of those involved in such environment. The objective of this study was to
investigate the connection between the educational environment in boarding schools and the promotion of psychological well-being of teachers and students. This is an applied and crosssectional study, with a quantitative approach, carried out with 27 teachers and 129 students
of Basic Education in a boarding school in the south of Brazil. The instruments used were
a sociodemographic questionnaire and the Psychological Well-Being Scale. The results show
a significant relationship between the educational environment of the boarding school and
the promotion of psychological well-being. All teachers and 106 students emphasized the
importance of this experience for personal growth, autonomy, and self-acceptance. In addition,
84 students (79.3%) reported high levels of psychological well-being, while 22 students (20.7%)
reported low levels. Thus, the environment of the boarding school and the experiences lived
with the people involved in this context directly influence the process of self-acceptance,
interpersonal relationships, and autonomy of those who are there.
