Afrontamiento al estrés y su relación con el tipo de jornada laboral en docentes de educación primaria

This research seeks to establish the relation between coping strategies to teacher work stress and the type of workday. To do so, a correlational, cross-sectional and non-experimental study was carried out through the application of a survey to 61 Primary Education teachers belonging to the Sch. Zone No. 40 of Canatlan and the Sch. Zone. No 33 of Santiago Papasquiaro, both located in the state of Durango, Mexico. Its main result allows affirming the non-relationship between both variables. Thus, it is considered that working in a school with more or less working hours does not determine the frequency of use, nor the type of coping strategies used by teachers in order to face stress. However, it is necessary to continue investigating contextual variables in order to determine their role in coping with stress.
