Abstract

Abstract: COVID-19 has not only left physical consequences, but also negative effects on mental health after the changes that have arisen in the work routine. Therefore, this research aims to identify the factors related to teacher stress in a public educational unit located in the Selva Alegre sector south of the city of Sangolquí, during the Covid-19 pandemic in the year 2021-2022. The methodological design was non-experimental, exploratory, descriptive, quantitative, and transversal, with a sample of 40 teachers. The psychological instruments applied were: Ad Hoc Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Maslach Chronic Work Stress Inventory (MBI), Technostress Questionnaire (NTP), Mental Health Questionnaire (DASS-21) and Multidimensional Scale for the Evaluation of Coping Styles (COPE-28). The results revealed that teachers obtained low and medium levels of job stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. These results can be used for future studies and for the development of primary prevention programs focused on psychoeducation and the application of coping strategies against the demands of stress in the educational context.
