Resumen

Introducción: La educación ha sido un pilar fundamental en la historia y cultura de las civilizaciones, desde las antiguas sociedades hasta la actualidad. En México, la educación ha evolucionado significativamente desde las civilizaciones prehispánicas hasta la era colonial y la modernidad, enfrentando desafíos como la desigualdad socioeconómica y la calidad fluctuante de la enseñanza. Metodología: El objetivo principal del estudio es argumentar la necesidad de un plan de trabajo enfocado en la prevención y promover la detección de problemas de salud mental entre los docentes. La investigación se fundamenta en una metodología cualitativa, incluyendo entrevistas semiestructuradas, grupos focales y observación participante, para captar la experiencia subjetiva de los docentes en relación con el estrés laboral y sus estrategias de afrontamiento. Resultados: El estudio aborda cómo la carencia de salud mental afecta el rendimiento del docente, los apoyos contractuales existentes para la atención de salud mental y el impacto potencial de un centro especializado en salud mental para mejorar los indicadores educativos. Se diagnosticó la incidencia del síndrome de burnout y otros trastornos mentales exacerbados por la pandemia, subrayando la necesidad de intervenciones efectivas y estrategias de apoyo. Los hallazgos subrayan la situación crítica de la salud mental de los docentes y la necesidad urgente de intervenciones efectivas. Además, los resultados apuntan hacia factores específicos que contribuyen al deterioro de la salud mental y proporcionan una base para la implementación de políticas de apoyo integral. Conclusiones: Se concluye que la implementación de programas de prevención y detección de problemas de salud mental en los trabajadores de la educación puede contribuir a mejorar su bienestar y, consecuentemente, la calidad educativa.
