Abstract

Introduction: Nowadays, work climate is an important factor in organizations, since organizational processes depend on it, which influences the efficiency, effectiveness, productivity and quality of life of workers. Objectives: To determine the relationship between the work environment, depression, anxiety and stress in teachers of state educational institutions in the Peruvian jungle during the context of Covid-19. Materials and methods: This was a quantitative study with a non-experimental cross-sectional design and correlational scope. A virtual survey was applied to collect sociodemographic information. The Sonia Palma Work Climate Questionnaire or CL-SPC was used to measure work climate and the DASS-21 scale was used to measure depression, anxiety and stress. Results: The 26.3% of teachers reported having difficulties in the work environment; while 19.5% presented depressive symptoms, 23.3% anxiety symptoms and 18.8% reported a high level of stress; Regarding the relationship, the work environment showed a statistically significant relationship inversely with depression (Rho – 0.397**, p = 0.000), anxiety and stress (rho = -0.382**, p = 0.000), (rho = -0.366 **, p = 0.000). Conclusions: The increase in symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress decreases the work environment of teachers in state institutions in the Peruvian jungle; Faced with this, it is necessary to attend to the mental health of the teacher during the Covid-19 pandemic.
