AB  - We can find a lot of publications about sociopsicological risks in laboral context of teachers of primary 
and secondary education, what makes more interesting that 
there are very few scientific papers about university as a 
laboral context for proffesors. This paper tries to make some 
contributions to the investigation of stress in this group. From the methodologic point of view, we display a scale for 
measuring of stress. It is designed specially for the university 
professor, and it is based on the used one in Spain by Silvia 
Nogareda (2001) for other educative levels. The results of 
its application are framed in a introductory study, that offers 
descriptive information, and that shows the qualitative and 
quantitative differences about total stress and its sources, 
according to the characteristics of the worker (sex, age, 
possession or not of the doctor degree, antiquity, labor 
category, dedication). In addition, the total stress measured 
by our scale is put in relation to the subjective psychic health 
of the teaching staff. It is masured by the tool of LangnerAmiel (1986), that also offers results on the most frequent 
ailments in this group. 
Data indicate that level of stress in the university 
teaching staff of two investigated centers, is into acceptable 
limits. However, we can find risk groups: professors between 
46 and 50 years, those that they have more than 15 years of 
antiquity, women and temporally contracted professors. 
The factor that more stress produces is the fact that 
being a good professional it does not entail promotion 
necessarily. After that, thinking that the educational and 
investigating obligations cannot be synchronized of suitable 
way, the pressures of the academic carrera for the publication 
and the shortage of the wage. It is verified, in addition, that 
the stressors show differences of affection the professionals 
according to social and laboral criteria. 
In relation to risk for the psychic health, which we 
measured with the Test of Total Health of Langner-Amiel, 
score T obtained for our subjects, although is very near to 
the limit, can be defined as satisfactory. However, only 50% 
enjoy a situation of correct psychic health. The analysis of 
the interrelation between T and the results of the Scale of 
Sources of Stress in University Teaching Staff, draw a slight 
direct relation between both variables.
