The multitude of studies in teachers’ stress specifies that stress can have serious consequences both for the health of teachers and for those with whom teachers interact - students, colleagues, parents and family members. In this context, the objectives of the research point to the need to identify the presence of stress among teachers. Material and methods. There has been used a questionnaire developed by combining four standardized tests, with free access for use. Here are the results of 2 of them: the test for identifying the Burnout syndrome and the test used to determine the level of stress. The validation of the questionnaire revealed the internal consistency of items with values of 0.911 and 0.828 of Crombach alpha coefficient. The pilot study was attended by 53 teachers from four schools. Results. To highlight the existence of a state of exhaustion Lazarus test was applied to teachers. Practically all teachers proved to have the Burnout syndrome. 74% of them were diagnosed with professional exhaustion (burnout) of a very high degree. Only one presented a medium degree of this syndrome. The rest showed high levels. The stress level was evaluated using the test Julian Melgosa. The highest number of teachers has been identified as having high levels of stress (45%), while 40% showed a normal level. One person proved to have a low level of stress, but 13% presented a dangerous one. According to Melgosa test, the teachers who were identified with a high degree of professional exhaustion have an extremely high and dangerous level of stress, while a quarter of them are still in the intermediate level of stress. Conclusions. The study results reflect the need to identify and characterize the factors that determine high levels of occupational stress to be able to intervene effectively on them.
