Abstract

Abstract: Stress is one of the issues that has been most addressed due to Covid-19, one of the most affected professions has been teaching. The present investigation was carried out with the objective of identifying stress in Ecuadorian teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic, in addition to determining the levels of anxiety, depression, and coping capacity in these situations. The study sample consisted of 40 elementary and high school teachers, of this sample 30 were women and 10 were men. The instruments used were the Ad Hoc Questionnaire, Maslach's Chronic Work Stress Inventory (MBI-GS), Techno-Stress Questionnaire, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS-21) and the Coping Styles Assessment Multidimensional Scale ( BRIEF-COPE/28). From the results obtained from these questionnaires, it was possible to show that there are no high levels of techno-stress in teachers, however, it was found that the coping strategies they used were specifically focused on the problem, based on this we can say that it is necessary to continue investigating this issue for future research.
