Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between health-seeking behaviour, marital stress, coping strategies and psychological well-being among secondary school teachers, one hundred and twenty (120) teachers were drawn using purposive sampling techniques as participants from five schools in Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State. Marital stress inventory (MSI) by Omoluabi (1994), the Psychological well-being instrument by Ryff [1995], the brief-cope scale developed by Carver et al., (1989) and the Health Seeking Behaviour questionnaire (H-SBQ) by Franklin (2003) were used for data collections, a correlational research design was adopted and Pearson moment correlation coefficients were used for data analysis with the aid of SPSS, finding revealed that health-seeking behaviour r= .229* significantly correlated with marital stress, emotional focus r= .308** significantly correlated with marital stress and problem focus dimension of coping strategies r= .301 significantly correlated with psychological wellbeing. Hence school teachers are encouraged to adopt more problem-focused coping strategies in solving their problem because this method will bring about positive psychological wellbeing.
