Abstract:
This study primarily made use of the descriptive method of research to determine the common stressors experienced by the SHS teachers of Marcelo H. del Pilar National High School. The researchers made use of a questionnaire adapted from previous studies on work-related stress as the main data gathering tool. The said questionnaire was administered to 35 SHS teachers of MHPNHS. The teachers were asked to express their agreement/disagreement regarding the common stressors using a 5-point Likert Scale. The said instrument underwent both face and content validation from a panel of experts including the school's Research Coordinator, a statistician and Registered Psychometrician. The following were the significant conclusions derived: 1.Majority of the respondents were females and belong to the 20-29 age range. This could be attributed to the fact that in the Philippines, majority of those who enter the teaching profession are females. Another, since, the K-12 Program is still in its "childhood stage", so to speak, most teachers are still young, some of the respondents even said that being a teacher was their first job. It should be noted though that only one respondent belonged to the 60 and above age range, this is due to the fact normally, in teaching, that age is near retirement age. 2. The main causes of stress of the SHS teachers of MHPNHS-SHS Department are students with problems and inadequacy of facilities ; 3.The respondents Moderately Agree that the main effect of stress for them is Physical. 4. Respondents' sex has a positive correlation to Physical and Social Effects of Stress
