Background.
Psychosocial Factors are elements that affect wellbeing and employee’s health. The employees apply strategies to cope with these conditions and to fulfill their work, nevertheless these strategies could increase or reduce the employees’s stress.
Objective.
To analyze the association between the coping strategies and academic work’s psychosocial factors and perceived stress by the university professors.
Subjects and Methods.
An Analytic Cross Sectional Study was made with 109 professors. Two data collection instruments were applied and occupational and sociodemographic information was collected.
Results.
The cognitive restructuring is a risk factor for the stress (OR 10.72, IC 95% 1.34-85.88), this factor is affected by avoidance strategies. Problem solving is a stress reducing factor (OR 0.0086, IC95% 0.02-0.51).
Discussion.
Academic work psychosocial factors are not associated with perceived stress and coping strategies do not ensure the decrease of this situation.
