Abstract

Abstract: The present research was carried out with the objective of identifying the factors related to stress in teachers of a public institution, located in the north center of the Cascales canton, El Dorado de Cascales parish, during the year 2021. A quantitative, non-experimental, cross sectional, descriptive methodology was used, with a non-probabilistic accessibility sample of 40 teachers. The instruments used were Ad-hoc sociodemographic and labor questionnaire, Maslach burnout Inventory, Technostress questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21), Coping Styles Scale (BRIEF-COPE-28). Among the most relevant results, a low prevalence was found for the dimension of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization reported in more than half of the respondents; in technostress, average scores were reported in all its dimensions; in mental health, high levels were not reported either, and the most outstanding strategy used was the one focused on the problem. In conclusion, teachers did not present burnout syndrome at the time of the study, nor were they notably affected by stress and technostress.
