Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to determine the causes associated with stress that affected the educators of a public school in a marginal urban area of La Libertad canton, located in the Province of Santa Elena, during the school year 2021-2022. The research design is quantitative, descriptive, non-experimental, and transversal, with a sample of 50 teachers. The instruments used to carry out the investigation were: Ad Hoc Questionnaire, Maslach burnout inventory, Technostress Questionnaire, Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS 21), and Coping Styles Scale (BRIEF-COPE/28). Among the main results, it was found out that regarding burnout, a low percentage of the educators indicate suffering high levels of emotional exhaustion and having experienced a state of low self-fulfillment. Concerning technostress, the sample teachers present average levels of anxiety and skepticism. The coping strategy most used by them was to focus on the problem. Based on the results obtained from this research, it is concluded that the level of teachers stress during the COVID-19 pandemic is low. However, a lower percentage of them was affected by this situation.
