Description
Summary:Background: Since the start of non face-toface learning classes in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have been accumulating stress. Since then, the teaching staff have had to adapt to the new telematic classes, and in September 2020 they have had to return to faceto- face classes, taking different hygiene measures to prevent contagion. The changes in teaching methods and the lack of guidelines for the new teaching challenges have created a lot of uncertainty in this sector. The aim of the present study was to measure the levels of stress, anxiety and depression of teaching staff in the face of the reopening of schools and universities after 6 months of absence from face-to-face classes. Methods: A total of 1,633 teachers from the Department of Education of the Basque Autonomous Community (BAC) took part, all of them professionals working in different educational centres, from early childhood education to university studies. The questionnaire, DASS-21, was applied to measure the symptomatology presented by the teaching staff in relation to the reopening of the centres. Results: The results show that 32.2% of the participants had symptoms of depression, 49.4% had symptoms of anxiety and 50.6% had symptoms of stress. Conclusions: The results show that teachers have symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. Therefore, it is important to take care of the mental health of teachers in order to take care of the mental health of students and the quality of teaching. Fundamentos: Desde que en marzo de 2020 comenzaron las clases no presenciales a causa de la pandemia de la COVID-19, el profesorado está acumulando estrés. Desde entonces, el profesorado se ha tenido que enfrentar a la adaptación a las nuevas clases telemáticas, y en septiembre del 2020 han tenido que volver a las clases presenciales tomando diferentes medidas de higiene para prevenir contagios. Los cambios de modalidad de docencia y la falta de directrices ante los nuevos retos docentes han creado mucha incertidumbre en este sector. El objetivo del presente estudio fue medir los niveles de estrés, ansiedad y depresión del profesorado ante la reapertura de los colegios y universidades tras 6 meses de no presencialidad. Métodos: Han participado un total de 1.633 profesores y profesoras del Departamento de Educación de la Comunidad Autónoma Vasca (CAV), todos ellos profesionales que trabajan en diferentes centros educativos, desde educación infantil hasta estudios universitarios.
