Abstract:
The present article aims to analyze the relation between teachers suffering from psychological distress and school children with behavioral problems. A total of 372 children were evaluated by teachers through utilizing the Teachers Report Form (TRF). The teachers also answered a questionnaire in order to evaluate some personal characteristics and the presence of psychological distress (Self Reported Questionnaire, SRQ-20). The prevalence of psychological distress found was of 21.8%. The results show that the teachers presenting psychological distress identified higher percentages of internalizing problems in the children.
