- Abstract
This study investigated whether the spiritual well-being of teachers was a protective factor against stress, anxiety and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, 733 teachers from different regions of Brazil answered online the following instruments: a questionnaire to obtain sociodemographic data, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - Short Form (DASS-21). Data were collected in September and October 2020, and quantitatively analyzed using linear regression. The results revealed that the dimension of spirituality related to existential well-being was protective for the emergence of symptoms of anxiety, stress and depression. On the other hand, religious well-being was predictive of higher scores for the same disorders. Characteristics such as age, gender, income, type of school were related to the manifestation of psychopathological symptoms and the level of spirituality.
