Abstract

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, education moved to the virtual modality, establishing telework for teachers, who took on new challenges related to the use of technology, which meant a greater investment of time and workload. Therefore, the objective of this research was to determine the resilience of the teachers of the Nursing Career of the Technical University of Ambato to the teleworking modality. Based on a quantitative, prospective, observational, analytical, cross-sectional approach, 74 participants were administered a questionnaire based on the Connor-Davinson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) with a Cronbach's alpha index of 0.89. Among the main results, it was established that the teachers have been resilient to the teleworking modality, establishing that 41.89% of the teachers reached a high level of resilience, while 40.54% maintained a medium level. Therefore, it is concluded that after the measures adopted in education during the COVID19 pandemic, and the implementation of telework, teachers have been resilient, developing skills such as persistence, tenacity, self-efficacy, adaptability, control under pressure, support networks and spirituality.
