teacher well-being, mental health, basic education, job satisfaction, systematic reviewAbstract
The study analyzes burnout syndrome among basic education teachers between 2019 and 2025 through a literature review of 20 articles indexed in Scopus and SciELO. The findings reveal that emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment are associated with work overload, institutional precariousness, and lack of professional recognition. Furthermore, psychological well-being, resilience, and self-efficacy act as protective factors, highlighting the importance of strengthening institutional support and teacher mental health policies.
