In this study, a descriptive bibliometric analysis of the scientific production was performed in the Web of Science on burnout and/or stress in teachers in pandemic situations. The aim of the study was to analyse the scientific production on stress and burnout in teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 75 documents from 33 journals with 3947 cited references were considered, with 307 researchers from 35 countries publishing at least one article. The country with the most publications was the USA, followed by China and Spain. The USA was the country with the most collaborations. A total of 184 institutions published documents, and the universities with the most records were Christopher Newport and Columbia, although the American University of Sharjah and Cape Breton University had a higher overall citation coefficient. Of the 33 journals that have published on the subject, Frontiers in Psychology and the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health stood out in terms of the number of articles, and they were also listed in this order with regard to their impact factor.

In this study, a descriptive bibliometric analysis of the scientific production in the Web of Science on job insecurity perceived by teachers in pandemic situations was carried out. The result shows the growing interest in the topic with an upward trend with an annual growth of 41.52%. Forty-seven papers from 41 journals with 2,182 cited references were considered, with 149 researchers from 30 countries publishing at least one article. The country with the most publications was the United States, followed by Germany and Spain. The United States was the country with the most collaborations. A total of 95 institutions published papers, and the universities with the most registrations were Miami University and the University of the Basque Country, although York University and the University of the Basque Country had a higher overall citation coefficient (102 and 40, respectively). Of the 41 journals that have published on the topic, Frontiers in Education and the British Journal of Educational Psychology stood out in terms of their article numbers. However, this last one was superior in terms of the overall number of citations per year, followed by Frontiers of Psychology.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers had to adapt to the changes caused by remote working, experiencing prolonged stress situations that together with psychosocial factors can lead to burnout and psychosomatic health problems. This study focused on analyzing the influence of COVID-19 and psychosocial risks on psychosomatic problems and burnout at the peak of the pandemic in Spain, from March to April 2020. It combined two methodologies, hierarchical regression models (HRM) and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). The two methodologies demonstrated greater predictive power for psychosocial demand factors (workload and role conflict) on burnout and psychosomatic health problems. In addition, the fsQCA models demonstrated the contribution of job insecurity and the lack of organizational justice, resources and COVID-19 information. These results can be used by educational managers to improve the daily work of teachers, impacting on the quality of teaching, as well as their response to pandemics, which will benefit society.
