Abstract

Abstract:Nowadays, the increase in cases of anxiety and depression among the Ecuadorian population is remarkable, according to statistics from government agencies. However, students enrolled in higher education programs are the most affected due to factors related to problems in their family environment, as well as the new routine related to their academic training. In this context, teachers play a fundamental role as agents of emotional support for students, making it important for them to acquire knowledge related to mental health in order to correctly identify cases of anxiety and depression within the classroom. The main objective of this research is to analyze the influence of the emotional support and guidance provided by teachers on the prevention of depression and anxiety in university students. Based on the analysis of the collected information, a proposal for teacher support to prevent depression and anxiety in students of the higher technological institute of arts under study will be developed and presented.
