Prevalencia de la salud mental, capital psicológico y satisfacción laboral en docentes ecuatorianos

Abstract

Abstract: The general objective of this research is to determine the prevalence of mental health, psychological capital and job satisfaction in teachers in the city of Ibarra during the year 2022; for this purpose, 40 teachers from both public and private institutions have been taken as a participating sample. Thus, a non-experimental quantitative research approach was used, which was evaluated with a cross-sectional and descriptive design together with evaluation instruments such as the AD-HOC (sociodemographic questionnaire); DASS-21 (depression, anxiety and stress scale); PSY-CAP (psychological capital measurement scale) and finally the job satisfaction test. With these results it was concluded that the evaluated teachers have low levels of stress, anxiety and depression; thus, with regard to psychological capital and job satisfaction the results were positive since the mean was above the desired standard levels. Therefore, it was determined that teachers are receptive, active and very willing in all areas of their work, which benefits both their personal and professional development.
