Abstract
This study verified the effects of online self-care intervention on the well-being of
elementary school teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the pre-test, the Lipp Stress
Symptoms Inventory for Adults (ISSL), the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the WHO
quality of life instrument (WHOQOL-bref) were applied. The intervention consisted of a
stress management workshop, with relaxation techniques and daily self-care. Post-test and
follow-up involved reapplying the pre-test, immediately after the intervention and three
months later, respectively. The group and individual results pointed to a reduction in stress
and anxiety levels, expressing the importance of intervention studies that aim at the
well-being of the teaching category, exploring various techniques and methods, and that
consider the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic may have caused in the short, medium and long term.
