Popis: The work context of university professors triggers mental illness. This quali-quantitative study aimed to identify the prevalence and predictors of common mental disorders (CMDs) in university professors, as well as to analyze the perception about the work context. A survey (n = 69) and semi-structured interviews were carried out (n = 3). The questionnaire used consisted of socio-demographic questions, the Self-Reporting questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the Inventory of Work and Illness Risks (ITRA). Bivariate, multivariate, and content analyses were performed. There was a prevalence of CMDs in almost a third of the participants, where the lack of job recognition and the work regime (non-exclusive dedication) were its predictors. Qualitative data showed that socio-professional relationships were well evaluated; work conditions and organization were identified as adverse. It is concluded that work regime and professional recognition have an impact on teachers’ mental health.
