Abstract

Abstract: The COVID -19 pandemic had a negative effect on the health of teachers, increasing stress levels, affecting their personal, family and professional lives. The present investigation was carried out with the objective of identifying the factors related to stress in teachers in a private institution in the Isidro Ayora canton during the year 2021. The methodology was quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive with a sample of 42 teachers. The following were used: an Ad-hoc questionnaire, Maslach burnout Inventory, DASS - 21 and BRIEF COPE-28. Among the most relevant results of the research, a high prevalence was found for the dimension of low personal fulfillment, affecting a third of the sample, and scales with high scores of techno-stress, fatigue, skepticism, and ineffectiveness. In mental health, the dimension with a higher average was anxiety, and the most outstanding strategies were strategies focused on the problem. In conclusion, stress in teachers is related to teleworking, due to virtual teaching environments in which labor demands have increased, which has an impact on anxiety problems and low productivity.
