Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed unprecedented pressure on teachers worldwide, raising serious concerns about their workloads and consequences such as increased anxiety and burnout. We aimed to identify the consequences of workload on basic education teacher health during the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic review was carried out in February, 2023 in portals and virtual databases with a strategy developed through the PICo, including articles about the theme, resulting from observational studies, without language filter, published from the beginning of the pandemic in 2020 until January, 2023. The search identified 6,958 studies, after screening and selection six reports were included in the synthesis. The results showed that the additional workload evidenced in times of pandemic, in addition to other factors such as lack of familiarity with new tools and lack of training in these means, insufficient technological resources, excessive concern with the issue of social isolation, deprivation of human contact, and the risk of contamination and death by the COVID-19 virus, had repercussions on quality of life and the increase of conditions such as depression, anxiety, stress, panic disorder, insomnia, fear, anger, and burnout syndrome.
