Objective: To Identify job demands associated with psychological and psychosomatic disorders among teachers working in public and private high schools in Mexico. Background: The working conditions faced by teachers today place them at an increased risk of psychological and psychosomatic disorders. Their work is more of an intellectual and/or service type, with little exposure to traditional workplace hazards, but there are high demands due to redistribution of job skills and tasks, among other characteristics inherent to the way their jobs are organized. Methods and Materials: A prevalence study was conducted. Study participants consisted of 203 public school teachers and 105 teachers from six private schools. An individual questionnaire was administered in order to explore the relationship between job demands and the presence of psychological and psychosomatic problems. The data were processed and analyzed using a computer program designed for this purpose. Results and conclusions. A greater number of demands arising from the organization of the work was observed among private school teachers. In public schools, demands related to school infrastructure predominated. Anxiety, depression, sleep disorders and tension headaches were associated with long hours, strict supervision, and repetitive tasks, among other factors. This points to the need for greater preventive efforts to improve working conditions and the health of teachers.

Planteamiento del problema: Las condiciones de trabajo que enfrentan actualmente los profesores, han dado lugar a un incremento de trastornos psíquicos y psicosomáticos, dado que el trabajo que realizan es más de tipo intelectual y/o de servicio, con una baja exposición a riesgos laborales y un alto nivel de exigencias que se desprenden de la redistribución de las tareas y competencias laborales, entre otras características inherentes al modo en que el trabajo está organizado. Material y Método: Se realizó un estudio de prevalencia. Participaron 203 profesores de una escuela pública y 105 docentes de seis escuelas particulares. Se aplicó una encuesta individual, con el fin de detectar la relación de exigencias laborales con la presencia de problemas psíquicos y psicosomáticos. Los datos fueron procesados y analizados por medio de un programa computarizado diseñado para este fin. Resultados y conclusiones: Se detectó mayor número de exigencias derivadas de la organización de trabajo en las instituciones privadas, en tanto en la escuela pública, predominaron las exigencias que se desprenden de la infraestructura en la institución. La ansiedad, la depresión, los trastornos del sueño y la cefalea tensional, estuvieron asociados a horarios extensos, supervisión estricta, tareas repetitivas, entre otros. Por lo que es necesario implementar medidas preventivas, para mejorar las condiciones laborales y de salud de los docentes.Instituto de Altos Estudios en Salud Pública "Dr. Arnaldo Gabaldón"2008text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=3041654(Revista) ISSN 1315-0138Salud de los Trabajadores, ISSN 1315-0138, Vol. 16, Nº. 2, 2008, pags. 73-86spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
