Resumo: Teaching has been considered highly stressful in the face of the various challenges related to your profession. This work aims to evaluate the symptoms of stress and coping strategies in university professors from a public institution of higher education in Mozambique. The research is quantitative, descriptive and had a sample of 100 teachers, 58% of whom were male and 42% female. Data collection took place using three instruments: Lipp's Stress Symptom Inventory for Adults (ISSL-Lipp), short version of Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Brief-COPE), and the questionnaire on socio-demographic and labor data. Statistical analysis of the data with the help of SPSS indicated that most of the teachers surveyed showed symptoms of stress in the alert and resistance phase, with a predominance of psychological symptoms. And in stressful situations, teachers recommend the use of coping strategies focused on the problem and emotion. The need for future studies to identify the consequences and sources of occupational stress in teachers is highlighted, in order to propose more appropriate prevention and intervention strategies.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar los síntomas del estrés y las estrategias de afrontamiento en profesores universitarios de una institución pública de educación superior en Mozambique. La investigación es cuantitativa, descriptiva y contó con una muestra de 100 docentes, de los cuales 58% eran hombres y 42% mujeres. La recolección de datos se realizó mediante tres instrumentos: el Inventario de Síntomas de Estrés de Lipp para Adultos (ISSL-Lipp), la versión abreviada del Inventario de Orientación de Afrontamiento a Problemas Experimentados (Brief-COPE) y el cuestionario de datos socio demográficos y laborales. El análisis estadístico de los datos con la ayuda del SPSS indicó que la mayoría de los docentes encuestados presentaban síntomas de estrés en la fase de alerta y resistencia, con predominio de síntomas psicológicos. Y en situaciones de estrés, los profesores recomiendan el uso de estrategias de afrontamiento centradas en el problema y la emoción. Se destaca la necesidad de futuros estudios para identificar las consecuencias y fuentes del estrés laboral en los docentes, con el fin de proponer estrategias de prevención e intervención más adecuadas.A docência tem sido considerada altamente estressante diante dos vários desafios relativos à sua profissão.
