Abstract

Abstract: The study analyzes the mental health, psychological capital, and job satisfaction of Ecuadorian teachers in the 'La Esperanza' sector of the city of Ibarra during the 2023-2024 academic year. A survey was used to collect data, which were subsequently analyzed using the SPSS software. The results indicate that the majority of teachers experience mild levels of stress and anxiety, with moderate and severe levels observed in some cases. The study emphasizes the importance of addressing teachers' mental health needs on an individual basis and provides recommendations for enhancing the working environment. Additionally, it suggests that professional development focusing on coping skills, stress management techniques, and resilience-building could contribute to long-term psychological well-being. The importance of fostering a supportive environment among colleagues to enhance effectiveness and hope is also highlighted, thus building a more positive and enriching educational setting.
