Abstract

The study of the mental health of the teacher has aroused interest in the scientific community. The social pressure of the education worker has grown progressively and the need to demonstrate a good development in their work in line with the working conditions, result in psychological, physical and emotional wear and tear. This research, developed with the support of the Scientific Initiation Program of the Estácio de Sá University, aimed to verify the relationship between teachers' work process and the conditions under which it develops, in order to verify its connection with the emergence of mental suffering of the professors of the undergraduate course in psychology of the Nova Iguaçu campus of the mentioned University.

Semi-structured interviews were conducted and the self-report Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) was applied. Stress was indicated as a prevalent symptom, as well as fatigue. The working conditions support to the development of diseases, otorhinolaryngological, musculoskeletal, psychosomatic and, in one case, the onset of autoimmune disease. It is hoped that these results will lead to the planning of effective interventions for teaching work in higher education.
