Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify the factors that best predict variations in tension, irritability, and fatigue (TIF) among university professors in Ecuador. Using a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design, data were collected from a probabilistic sample of 364 participants. Psychometric measures were adapted and linguistically validated to assess TIF, and participants completed the Perceived Stress Questionnaire, alongside a sociodemographic questionnaire. Written informed consent was obtained, and participation was entirely voluntary. The results indicated that TIF significantly contribute to perceived stress levels among professors. Specific sociodemographic predictors were identified as statistically significant, providing insight into the multifaceted nature of work-related stress in academic settings and its potential implications for health and job satisfaction. The findings underscore the importance of targeted strategies to reduce stress-related outcomes, addressing factors unique to the academic environment in Ecuador. Additionally, while sociodemographic aspects were associated with variations in stress levels, other stress types also triggered TIF among university professors.

本研究的目的是找出最能预测厄瓜多尔大学教授紧张、易怒和疲劳(TIF)变化的因素。研究采用非实验、横断面设计的定量方法,从 364 名参与者的概率样本中收集数据。对心理测量方法进行了调整和语言验证,以评估 TIF,参与者填写了感知压力问卷和社会人口问卷。研究人员获得了书面知情同意,参与完全出于自愿。结果表明,TIF 在很大程度上影响了教授们的感知压力水平。特定的社会人口学预测因素被确定为具有统计学意义,从而使人们深入了解了学术环境中与工作相关的压力的多面性及其对健康和工作满意度的潜在影响。研究结果表明,针对厄瓜多尔学术环境的独特因素,采取有针对性的策略来减少与压力相关的结果非常重要。此外,虽然社会人口方面与压力水平的变化有关,但其他压力类型也会引发大学教授的 TIF。

期刊介绍: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) (ISSN 1660-4601) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes, and short communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. It links several scientific disciplines including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, computer science, ecology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, oncology, pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology, in an integrated fashion, to address critical issues related to environmental quality and public health. Therefore, IJERPH focuses on the publication of scientific and technical information on the impacts of natural phenomena and anthropogenic factors on the quality of our environment, the interrelationships between environmental health and the quality of life, as well as the socio-cultural, political, economic, and legal considerations related to environmental stewardship and public health.
