Identificación del estrés en docentes ecuatorianos durante la pandemia del Covid-19

Abstract

Abstract:The present study aims to identify the factors related to stress in Ecuadorian teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic. The data collection sample is made up of 36 teachers. A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional, non-experimental approach was used. Psychometric instruments were applied: Ad-hoc labor sociodemographic questionnaire, Maslach burnout Inventory, Technostress questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS - 21), Coping Styles Scale (BRIEF-COPE-28). The relevant Results obtained in Burnout show a high level of low personal fulfillment (27.8%); high level of emotional exhaustion, 22.2%; high level of depersonalization, 11.1%. This implies that low personal achievement represents the dimension with the highest incidence among teachers. Regarding mental health, a severe level of anxiety was observed 16.7%; a severe level of stress 11.1% and a severe level of depression 8.3%. In techno-stress, high levels of anxiety are appreciated 16.7%; high levels of fatigue 16.7%; ineffectiveness 11.1%, skepticism 8.3%. Regarding the coping strategies used by teachers, this study shows that most of them (23.69%) use problem-focused coping strategies.
