O sentido de vida e o estresse do professorado: um estudo correlacional

Abstract

O presente estudo teve como principal objetivo realizar um levantamento acerca dos índices de estresse percebido entre professores do Ensino Fundamental e do Ensino Médio da cidade de Campina Grande, PB, além de analisar como o estresse percebido correlaciona-se com os índices de sentido de vida. A amostra foi composta por 517 professores escolares das redes pública e particular, de ambos os sexos. Os resultados apontam que o índice de estresse percebido é relativamente alto, entretanto, é amplamente mediado pelos índices de sentido de vida. Conclui-se que a realização existencial é um aspecto que proporciona uma melhor adaptação ao cotidiano potencialmente estressor ao modificar a percepção do evento ou modificando as estratégias de enfrentamento, potencializando a saúde mental desses profissionais.

The meaning of life and the stress in professorship: a correlational study The present work aimed to carry out a survey on the stress levels perceived by preliminary and high school teachers from the city of Campina Grande, PB, as well as analyzing how the perceived stress of these teachers is related to the rate of sense of life gathered. The sample was composed by 517 teachers from public and private schools from both genders. The results show that the level of perceived stress is relatively high. However, it's widely mediated by the professorship's meaning of life. The conclusion was that existential realization is an aspect that provides a better adaptation to the potentially stressful routine by changing the perception of the event or modifying the coping strategies, increasing these professionals' mental health.

As for burnout rates, some studies found signifi cant differences between men and women, with higher burnout levels among women when compared to men (Carlotto, 2011;Carlotto & Moraes, 2010;Rossa, 2004).…”
