- Abstract
Objective: The study's purpose has been to explore the relationship between stress disposition and the work process among university professors. Methods: It is an exploratory research with both quantitative and qualitative approach, which was carried out with professors of Health and Biological Sciences academic area by using self-applicable instruments. Results: The prevalence of stress found among professors was 35%. Considering the different investigated aspects of the work process, as follows: undergraduate and postgraduate courses, work regime, workload, administrative activity; no condition had shown a significant relationship with stress, its stages of evolution or symptomatology. Most professors attribute stress determination to administrative issues inherent in work and conflicts with students and co-workers. Faced with stress, professors often look for engaging with physical and leisure activities, contacting friends and family, and try to improve their personal skills. Conclusion: Stress was significantly present in the teaching environment, regardless of the work process.
