This study assessed teachers’ mindset towards stress and identified factors associated with it, through a survey with 75 public school teachers from Curitiba and metropolitan region. Results indicated that the majority of teachers had a negative mindset towards stress (83.5%), which may limit performance and have consequences for teachers’ health and quality of education. Mindset about stress is associated with the nature of the teaching profession and perceived stress. Gender is the main component influencing the biopsychosocial factors associated with occupational stress. It is concluded that specific interventions are needed to change the mindset and help teachers deal with stress, as well as strategies to improve institutional support and promote a healthier and collaborative work environment. The study provides information for public policies focused on teachers’ mental health and serves as a basis for future research on teacher stress.
