Abstract

PROBLEM: what are the stressors of adolescent mental health that teachers observe in the educational environment. OBJECTIVE: to determine the risk and stress factors that affect the mental health of adolescents from the educational field. METHOD: the research was qualitative-quantitative with a scientific approach on stressful factors of mental health in adolescents, from the perspective of neuroeducation linked to mental health. RESULTS: 50% of those surveyed work at the middle level (basic and diversified). The factors that affect mental health in adolescents stand out challenging behaviors (75.3%). Regarding the risk factors, we can highlight the poor quality of domestic life (85.4%). In addition, stressors highlight the desire for greater autonomy and independence (62.9%). Without a doubt, this has negative effects on the mental health of adolescents, according to research, 79.8% see their sleep cycle (drowsiness) altered. CONCLUSION: the risk factors that affect the mental health of adolescents from the educational field stand out: poor quality of domestic life, and emotional conflicts. The stressor affecting their educational performance stands out: the desire for greater autonomy.
