Estres en docentes en tiempos de Covid-19

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to identify stress in Ecuadorian elementary and high school teachers during the covid-19 pandemic. The study sample consisted of 40 elementary and high school teachers. The research design is non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive, exploratory and quantitative. The instruments used were a questionnaire of sociodemographic and work variables, The Maslach Burnout Inventory, technostress questionnaire, multidimensional Coping Styles Evaluation Scale (BRIEF-COPE/28), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The results indicate that teachers showed low levels of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and low personal fulfillment, as well as low levels of stress, anxiety and depression. In addition, it was identified that the strategies they used the most were those focused on logical and rational problem solving. Finally, it was detected that teachers have little difficulty falling asleep, all this because their stress levels are low.
