Abstract

Abstract: The main objective of this research was to identify the factors related to stress in teachers in a public institution of the Cooperativa Balerio Estacio sector in the city of Guayaquil during the year 2021. For this purpose, a study based on a quantitative, descriptive, exploratory, non-experimental and cross-sectional design was carried out. The population consisted of a sample of 45 teachers, five data collection instruments were applied: ad-hoc questionnaire, Maslach's chronic work stress inventory, Salanova's Technostress Questionnaire, the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Multidimensional Coping Styles Evaluation Scale (BRIEF-COPE/28) in its abbreviated version. It is concluded that most of the teachers of the population sample studied presented values far from the affectation of their health by stress derived from their professional practice during the pandemic, although, nevertheless, a minority subgroup of these showed values consistent with the possible presence of technostress, Burnout syndrome or impact on their emotional schema.
