RIVERA-MEDINA, Carmen L. et al. Pilot Study: Feasibility of Online Training in Bioneuroemotion for Teachers. Educ. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.3, e2635.  Epub Nov 27, 2024. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2023.26.3.5.

Globally, 78 % of teachers report work-related stress, thus highlighting the need for techniques for stress prevention and management. Bioneuroemotion maintains that by becoming aware of how one constructs subjective and unconscious representations, it is possible to modify the interpretations one makes of certain stressful experiences and, in turn, rectify the emotional and behavioral response. The present study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of online training for teachers from Bioneuroemotion, aimed at promoting metacognitive skills such as self-awareness to increase the emotional well-being of the teacher and reduce their perception of stress. A pilot study was conducted with 331 teachers from 12 educational centers in various Spanish-speaking countries. Withdrawals, active teachers by topic, and those who met the criteria to pass the training were reviewed to evaluate the feasibility. Several stress indicators were assessed pre- and post-training. The study showed the feasibility and acceptability of Bioneuroemotion training for teachers and the necessary infrastructure for its implementation. The training suggests a positive impact in reducing the perception of stress and psychological symptoms and increasing the perception of quality of life.
