RESULTS: Compared to men, women reporting pre-existing anxiety were more prone to acute stress and younger age was related to both pre-existent common psychological symptoms and less resilience.

Specifically, the study explores teacher stress and teacher burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) as well as coping strategies, resources, and resilience. This exploratory study examines the perspectives of 18 teachers of students with disabilities and their stress-related coping strategies which incidentally occurred during a global health crisis through a mixed-method research approach (i.e., qualitative and quantitative). Research about special education teacher burnout is lacking and virtually no research exists on how teachers of students with disabilities manage job-related stress. Teacher burnout has become a prevalent issue in the public school system in the United States.
