Adoecimento e trabalho: um olhar sobre os professores e professoras no contexto da pandemia de Covid-19.

Abstract

This article proposes to analyze what are the effects of work overload for teachers and how isolation is affecting the lives of teachers, to answer this question we use a field research carried out among teachers from different areas which we will analyze by means of comparative graphs and tables and we will discuss through concepts such as exploration, exhaustion and teaching practice in order to demonstrate the effects of covid-19 on the personal and professional lives of teaching professionals from various areas and levels of education, where we see a marked contribution from the corona pandemic viruses for the aggravation of tensions and psychoemotional pathologies. The capitalist and contemporary society started to demand a lot of human labor capacity, in order to be able to fulfill the functional demands or even to stand out in the professional environment, the workers see themselves unfolding in their jobs and are becoming overloaded with work which causes the emergence of various diseases resulting from mental and physical exhaustion due to the heavy work routine they undergo. In periods of crisis such as the Covid-19 pandemic, this mental situation of exhaustion tends to worsen due to factors such as social isolation, uncertainty about the future, among others. Immersed in this reality are professionals from different areas, including teachers.
