CARVALHO, Virgínia D.    SANTOS, Vitória Régia Lopes dos. Psychosocial stressors and occupational health among public basic education teachers. []. , 22, 1, pp.1893-1901. ISSN 1984-6657.  https://doi.org/10.5935/RPOT/2022.1.22902.

The study analyzed the relationship between psychosocial stressors, sex, common mental disorders (CMD) and work-related physical damage, among public basic education teachers. A sample of 452 participants answered questions based on three scales, as well as a sociodemographic and work form. Hierarchical regression analysis indicated the stressors explaining the occurrence of CMD and work-related physical damage, regardless of the respondent's gender. Greater occurrence of symptoms was reported by women. The predictive power of work-family conflict in relation to all analyzed symptoms, and work overload in relation to CMD and body pain, especially lower limbs stood out, in addition to sleep disorders. Interactive effect was verified between sex and work-family conflict in relation to physical damage. The discussion of teachers' health at work was improved with the inclusion of the gender and psychosocial stressors, such as career insecurity, that had previously barely been explored in research among these professionals.
