Intervención educativa sobre depresión y ansiedad en docentes que laboran bajo modalidad de teletrabajo en la urbanización Julio Ordoñez. Loja 2021

Abstract

Abstract: Depression and anxiety are common mood disorders in the population and can occur regularly in groups of people under stress due to a change in the way they work, as in the case of the virtualisation of academic activities through COVID-19. As with any disease, the detection of early symptoms is likely to help in early diagnosis, which is achieved through adequate knowledge of the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety, as well as the level of knowledge about these illnesses, in teachers in Loja. An educational intervention was also implemented to improve the level of knowledge of the population about these illnesses. The prevalence of depression and anxiety was found to be 1.8% and the educational intervention increased teachers' knowledge of these illnesses.
