Abstract

The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has entailed a radical change in teaching, which occurred suddenly and without the possibility to adequately train university professors. Factors such as personal situation, prior training in digital competencies for online teaching, or sex can play an important role in the stress levels of professors. The objective of this study was to understand how these factors affected professors’ stress levels during a period of the pandemic. Through a survey carried out via email, a total of 123 teachers from different Spanish universities were contacted, 96 of whom responded. The results obtained establish a positive correlation between the stress felt by professors and sex, number of children, prior knowledge of online teaching systems, as well as the use of social networks. These preliminary findings could serve to establish preventive protocols that would help to improve the quality of life of professors and, consequently, the quality of university teaching in similar situations that may arise in the future.
