Resumen

Antecedentes.

Estudios anteriores han encontrado una relación entre el estrés relacionado con el trabajo y los síntomas depresivos en grupos ocupacionales diferentes, y han hallado que la personalidad puede modificar el riesgo de desarrollar síntomas depresivos. Nosotros pretendimos examinar la asociación de la personalidad y otras condiciones individuales y laborales con los síntomas depresivos.

Sujetos y método.

Una muestra de 498 profesores respondió a un cuestionario acerca de características individuales y laborales, algunas percepciones relacionadas con el trabajo y el deseo de cambiar de empleo. Los síntomas depresivos se midieron por la Escala de Depresión del Centra para Estudios Epidemiológicos (CES-D) y la personalidad se midió por el Inventario del Temperamento y el Carácter( TCI-125).

Resultados.

Los síntomas depresivos se asociaban con el género femenino, la edad, la satisfactión laboral baja, el estrés laboral alto, el deseo de cambiar de empleo, trabajar en una escuela pública, y con puntuaciones más altas en evitación del daño y búsqueda de novedad y puntuaciones más bajas en autodirección.

Conclusiones.

Nuestros resultados subrayan la influencia de los rasgos de personalidad en el desarrollo de los síntomas depresivos con independencia de otras características individuales y el contexto ocupacional.
