Abstract

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic represented an emergency due to its severity and spread, prompting a series of changes to control contagion, giving rise to the need to develop teleworking with the use of technology. Within the educational institutions, face-to-face classes were suspended to adopt the distance learning modality through technological platforms, which implied that the teachers developed their teaching activities under intense working conditions, the same ones that influenced the presence of stress, causing effects on mental health. The present study was carried out with the objective of identifying factors related to stress in teachers in the northern sector of the city of Guayaquil during the COVID-19 pandemic, for which a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive and exploratory study was carried out. In this research, instruments such as Ad-Hoc Questionnaire, Maslach Chronic Occupational Stress Inventory [MBI-GS], Technostress Questionnaire (NTP), Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scales (DASS 21), Inventory (BRIEF COPE/ 28). The results obtained indicate that teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic presented indicators of burnout, stress, anxiety, depression and techno-stress affecting mental health, and it was also determined that they use coping strategies to deal with stressful situations.
