The research community consisted of (210) physical education teachers at the Iraqi Police Academy in Baghdad, and the research sample was selected using the comprehensive inventory method. The job satisfaction scale had (40) items representing (5) dimensions, namely (material and moral incentives, satisfaction with promotion and advancement opportunities, satisfaction with the work group, social relationships and the relationship with colleagues), satisfaction with working conditions, satisfaction with the type of work). The mental health scale included (34) items that represented (6) dimensions, namely (self-awareness and acceptance, optimism in the future, responsibility, self-confidence and impulse control, level of ambition, and value system). The research sample was subjected to two scales. The sample was extracted at four standard levels, and the results were extracted using the statistical bag (SPSS). Among the study's findings was a significant direct correlation between job satisfaction and psychological health among physical education teachers. One of the research's recommendations is to pay attention to mental health because it is important for physical training teachers at the Iraqi Police College.
