Prevalencia de la salud mental capital psicológico y satisfacción laboral en docentes de la parroquia El Laurel del cantón Daule

Abstract

Abstract: Mental health, psychological capital, and job satisfaction are important components in the development of any teacher's activities. The balance that exists between these components influences the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of the individual. In this research, it was determined how job dissatisfaction intrinsically affects psychological capital, and how stress, anxiety, and depression influence teachers' work, social and family performance. The objective of this research was to evaluate 38 teachers of the Laurel parish, using the DASS 21 test, which uses Likert-type scales to evaluate stress, anxiety, and depression. The results showed that 100% of the teachers had a high level of stress, and severe levels of anxiety 8.1% and depression 5.4%. To measure job dissatisfaction that harms psychological capital, a questionnaire of 15 questions was used where it was observed that the mean of psychological capital was 136.08 in a total of all its components, and general satisfaction maintained a mean of 80.38, which determined the need for psychological intervention and the primary prevention program aimed at promoting good mental health, job satisfaction, and psychological capital in the work context.
