Psicol., Organ. Trab. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.4, pp.2209-2216.  Epub 02-Dez-2024. ISSN 1984-6657.  https://doi.org/10.5935/rpot/2022.4.23610.

The use of psychometric instruments can aid the investigation of stress in the teaching context, contributing to the creation of assertive coping strategies. However, given the scarcity of instruments targeting this group, the present study aims to adapt the Academic Stress scale (EEA-D) for university teachers, assessing its psychometric evidence. The study was divided into two phases: the first phase included 210 teachers averaging 42.0 years old (SD = 9.0), and the second consisted of 257 averaging 45.41 years old (SD = 11.02). The results confirmed a unidimensional structure for EEA-D, with high reliability indices (Ω = 0.91; CC = 0.91). Beyond this, the instrument was adequate when investigating the discriminatory parameters and difficulty through the Item Response theory. It is a compact instrument, easy to use and apply, with evidence of validity and accuracy that allow its use to measure academic stress in university professors.
