Mental health, Teachers, SymptomsAbstract
This study investigated the mental health indicators of higher education teachers and evaluated their sociodemographic characteristics through a systematic literature review. This review was inspired by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) Statement recommendations. Ten articles were selected. It was found that individuals of the female gender exhibited higher levels of depressive symptomatology compared to those of the male gender. It was observed that indicators of depressive symptomatology, stress, and anxiety are elevated in the population. Finally, in most of the studies, high rates of mental illness were found.
