Abstract

The present study addresses the analysis of the impact of burnout syndrome on teaching performance through the evaluation of the technical intervention protocol “Pedagogical Resilience and Crisis Mitigation” (PRP-MC). The research sustantiates itself on the need to reverse the deterioration of emotional well-being that compromises current innovation and educational quality, aiming to establish an intervention strategy for its mitigation. Regarding the methodology, a quantitative approach is used with a quasi-experimental design of correlational scope through a pre-test and a post-test, where the sample consists of 20 teachers of core curriculum subjects (Mathematics, Language, Natural Sciences, and Social Studies) at “Dr. Manuel Elicio Flor” Private Educational Unit in Guayaquil during the 2025 academic period, selected by non-probabilistic sampling. A questionnaire based on Maslach's dimensions is applied along with a four-week intervention featuring decompression techniques and cognitive reframing. The results reveal a significant increase in the performance mean, rising from 2.45 in the pre-test to 3.51 in the post-test. Inferential analysis yields a p-value < .001 and a very high effect size (Cohen's d = 4.16). It is concluded that burnout is reversible through systematic adaptive strategies. The application of the protocol demonstrates effectiveness in restoring creativity and professional efficacy, validating mental health as a structural pillar of modern educational management.
