Objectives

To analyze the presence of stress and signs indicative of depression in teachers of a public educational institution.

Materials and Methods

An analytical study was conducted with 163 teachers from a public educational institution. The Perceived Stress Scale-EEP and Beck-IDB Depression Inventory were applied.

Results

Of the 163 participants, 108 (66.3%) were males, 64 (39.3%) were between 30 and 39 years of age, 79 (48.5%) had a wage income of more than 15 wages minimum, 80 (49.1%) reported brown color. The majority had a master's degree, 84 (51.5%). Minimal levels of stress were identified in men, 73 (67.0%) and 34 (63.0%) in women. 87 (79.8%) women and 35 (64.8%) men had minimal depression. There was a significant difference in the stress and depression scores between the sexes. There was a moderate positive correlation between the scales.
