Keywords:
Stress, Quality of life, University professorsAbstract
Objective: to analyze the level of stress and quality of life in university professors according to
the scientific literature. Method: a bibliographic review was carried out whose data were
collected between February 2023 and March 2023, using as sources the electronic library
Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) and the databases Latin American and Caribbean
Literature in Social and Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Databases (BDENF) and PubMed.
Results: Among the stressors, high workload, lack of recognition, pressure for publications and
interpersonal relationships in the work environment stand out. These factors can negatively
affect the physical and psychological health of teachers, as well as their personal life,
compromising their well-being and professional satisfaction. On the other hand, the literature
review also pointed out intervention programs that aim to reduce stress and promote the
quality of life of university professors, based on strategies of prevention, coping and social
support. Conclusion: it is essential to understand the relationship between stress and quality
of life in university professors, as well as to develop strategies that can minimize the impact of
stress and improve the well-being of these professionals.
