First, to analyze the possible relationship between the variables, it was found that there is negative correlation average (Rho = -0.585) between the scores achieved in the teacher rating scales of family climate variables and stress. And second, the identified correlation is highly significant (p <0.01). These data show an inverse relationship between the variables, which means that the higher the score achieved on the scale of family environment, the lower the score achieved on the stress scale. In other words, the higher is the family environment experienced by the teacher, the lower the stress disorder; and in the same manner, the lower is the family atmosphere that surrounds the teaching, the greater the stress experienced in your life.
