Abstract

Abstract:The objective of this study was to identify the factors related to teachers´ stress from a private institution, located in Mejía cantón, in Machachi parish in 2022. The research had a quantitative, non-experimental, transectional, exploratory and descriptive methodology, for which was defined a sample of 47 educators with an accidental and non-probabilistic accessibility. Descriptive, analytical-synthetic, inductive, deductive and Likert scaling methods were applied as well as a set of five data collection instruments to the population sample. The participants were mostly female, with professional practice at the basic educational level, married or in a consensual union, and with average values of age, hours of work per day, and work experience of 37 years, 8 hours, and 11 years, respectively. It is concluded that minority groups of participating teachers registered high levels in the techno-stress, Burnout syndrome dimensions and mental health assessment, which is indicative of the presence of one or a combination of these elements affecting mental health.
