Resulting in slight percentages in the variables studied, despite this, the Anxiety maintains a greater prevalence at moderate levels in relation to stress and depression; It was also observed that those evaluated have high perceptions both in psychological capital and in job satisfaction regarding teaching. Concluding that mental health, psychological capital and job satisfaction are factors fundamental for the well-being and performance of teachers, so it is important that measures are taken to address the challenges to which they are exposed, and thereby promote a healthy and satisfying work environment.
