Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: The article investigated the prevalence of burnout syndrome among teachers in the public basic education system in Mato Grosso, focusing on gender differences in illness, especially psychological exhaustion. This is a quantitative, cross-sectional study with simple random probability sampling, involving 3,627 teachers. The results indicated that approximately 63% of participants showed signs of burnout in at least one dimension of the syndrome. A statistically significant association was observed between gender and psychological exhaustion, with a higher prevalence among female teachers (21.7%) compared to male teachers. The findings highlight gender inequalities in teachers’ psychological ill health, possibly related to working conditions and the work and social burdens attributed to women. It is concluded that there is a need for longitudinal studies and a review of educational policies, with a view to promoting gender equality and preventing female psychological exhaustion in the educational context. https://doi.org/10.21723/riaee.v21i00.2019402
