Stress of DepEd Youth Formation Coordinators: Basis for an Intervention Plan

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the level of stress of DepEd Youth Formation Coordinators in the Philippines during the First Semester of the School Year 2022-2023 as a basis for an intervention plan. Quantitative data for this study was gathered from 203 DepEd Youth Formation Coordinators using a researcher-made questionnaire that has passed the thorough tests of validity and reliability. The variables included in this study were age, sex, civil status, length of service, and highest educational attainment. To identify the stress of DepEd Youth Formation Coordinators, the areas included were the nature of work, work relationships, organizational role, and career development. The succeeding analysis showed that Youth Formation Coordinators are commonly young, female, married, with longer length of service, and holding Bachelor’s Degrees. Corresponding results surfaced that across those five variable groupings, the level of stress of the DepEd Youth Formation Coordinators was found moderate in the area of nature of work, work relationship, organizational role, and career development. Finally, there is no significant difference in DepEd Youth Formator Coordinators’ level of stress during the First Semester of the School Year (SY) 2022-2023 in the area of nature of work, organizational role, and career development based on the same five variable groupings except in the area of work relationship especially in the variable age and sex.
