Results: from a universe of 820 teachers, 145 responded, predominantly female. 52 % aged between 18 and 40 years. When evaluating the Maslach Scale factors, we found that 45 % presented High Emotional Fatigue, followed by 18 % of Low Personal Realization and 10 % of High Depersonalization. Two participants presented the three dimensions of risk, corresponding to a prevalence of 1.4 %.
