| Abstract |
Study of a group of 27 secondary school and intensive language school teachers. Biochemical tests performed before, during and after the working day showed that the habitual stress in members of the teaching profession is associated with a moderate increase in noradrenaline, adrenaline and 11-oxycorticosteroid excretion. Work involving great emotional strain produced a great increase in the above-mentioned urinary levels. Stress was greater at the start of morning classes and during the afternoon. Influence of age was not observed below 45 years; above 45 the only age-linked difference concerned the level of 17-ketosteroids. |
