Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has meant for teachers the introduction of new protocols forcing them to assume new responsibilities related to the control of students' health. This circumstance may have generated psychological problems, such as burnout and stress. The present study has measured the prevalence of burnout, resilience and perceived stress among teachers and their relationship and association with each other.

Method:

This is a descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study on a sample of 222 teachers from educational centers. Different validated surveys were used to measure each dimensión: The BEL Scale for measuring burnout, based on the Maslach Burnout Inventory; the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale CD-RISC 23 and the Perceived Stress Questionnaire PSS-14.

Results:

The results show a low prevalence of burnout and a high correlation between all the dimensions. The levels of resilience are high and the level of perceived stress is very low. The Odds Ratio showed that women are twice as resilient as men and "experience" has a decisive influence on the development of resilience, being a protective factor, as well as on the development of stress.

Conclusión:

This study could guide those responsible for health and educational administrations in the design of future policies related to the psychosocial health of teachers.
