Identificación del estrés en docentes ecuatorianos de educación básica y bachillerato de una Unidad Educativa del sector norte de la ciudad de Quito, durante la pandemia de COVID-19

Abstract

Abstract: During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers who were working were exposed to certain levels of stress as a result of changes in teaching methods and mediums, as well as the shift from in-person to virtual teaching. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with the aim of identifying the factors related to stress among teachers at a private institution located in the northern sector of the city of Quito during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, a sample of 41 teachers was used, to whom the Ad Hoc questionnaires, the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey (MBI-GS); Maslach and Jackson, the Technostress questionnaire: Salanova et al. (2007), the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS 21), and the Multidimensional Scale of Assessment of Coping Styles (BRIEF-COPE/28) were applied. Upon processing the results, it was found that: both stress and depression presented low levels; teachers were found to be worn out above other dimensions due to the use of ICTs, and problem-focused strategies that were used provided solutions in line with the study's approach.
