Abstract

Abstract: The present work entitled prevalence of mental health, psychological capital and job satisfaction in secondary school teachers in the northern sector of the city of Guayaquil during the year 2023, had the objective of studying the prevalence of mental health through a non-experimental study with a quantitative approach and a descriptive cross sectional design in a participating sample of 46 people. The information was collected through the Ad Hoc Questionnaire along with several psychological resources: socio demographic and work questionnaire, depression, anxiety and stress scale (DASS-21), loneliness scale (UCLA-3), conflict, work, job satisfaction and psychological capital. The results show that the highest percentage of participants were married women with an average age of 34 years, working an average of 8 hours a day and 6 years of experience. The perception of mental health indicates mild levels of stress, anxiety and depression with a high average value of psychological capital and a medium level of job satisfaction, concluding in the importance of establishing policies that favor the mental well-being and work environment of teachers.
