FONTES E SINTOMAS DE STRESS OCUPACIONAL DO PROFESSOR I
Abstract
A questionnaire survey was used to investigate the sources and symptoms of stress among 72 female elementary school teachers from 9 urban state schools of a medium size town in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. More than half of the teachers rated being a teacher as either very or extremely stressful. The most frequently mentioned job stressors were "large classes", "pupils' lack of interest" and "a few difticult to discipline students take to a much of my time away from the other students". The most frequent symptoms of stress reported involved tension and exhaustion. Results suggested that non-occupational stressors might contribute to the perception of occupational stress and should, therefore, be isolated in future studies.
