Abstract

With the rapid development of science and technology, the era of big data has arrived comprehensively. Based on cognitive big data, this study conducted a survey of over 265 university teachers through questionnaire surveys. Teachers play a vital part in society, and maintaining good mental health is critical to their effectiveness in the classroom as well as to the students they guide in their personal growth and professional advancement. The fundamental mechanism that underlies the effect of social support on the psychological well-being of teachers was investigated in the present research. Big data is not only about resources and technology, but this article is based on big data processing technology. A quantitative and qualitative research design was employed, utilizing surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions to gather rich and in-depth data regarding the psychological mental health and social support of the teachers. The study participants included a purposive sample of teachers from a local college teacher. The results of the study indicated that college teachers had a substantial number of concerns regarding both their mental health and their overall welfare. Most respondents expressed anxiety regarding their current responsibilities as well as their capacity to balance their professional and personal lives. This underscores the need for good task management as well as the building of welcoming workplaces for employees. In addition, depression, stress, and anxiety were all identified as important difficulties, which highlights the requirement for mental health support services that are particularly tailored to the requirements of teachers. The findings underlined the substantial impact that perceived social support plays in the mental well-being of teachers, giving light to the issues that teachers confront as well as the support systems that they rely upon. The research highlights how vital it is for educational institutions to cultivate an atmosphere of support for their faculty members to improve their emotional health and overall well-being. In the context of big data, based on network analysis results, design intervention measures to enhance social support networks, and examine the relationship between mental health and perceived social support among College teachers. The findings demonstrate the importance of social support networks in mitigating the detrimental effects of stress on the mental health of teachers. The study highlights the significance of creating a supportive work environment and implementing interventions that address the challenges teachers experience. By prioritizing the mental health of teachers, educational institutions may establish an environment that fosters their well-being and, in turn, has a positive effect on student learning outcomes. At local College, improving teachers' mental health and their sense that they have social support can have a beneficial impact on both their overall well-being.
