Se trata de una investigación empírica, con enfoque cualitativo, basada en una perspectiva sociohistórica. La recolección de datos se realizó a través de observaciones directas y entrevistas semiestructuradas. Los datos fueron transcritos y sistematizados en categorías semánticas según la técnica de análisis de contenido. Los resultados mostraron que los docentes perciben conexiones entre enfermedad y trabajo, y también identifican los impactos de la precariedad de la profesión y del proceso de trabajo. Se concluye que las desigualdades de género están entrelazadas con la enfermedad y son obstáculos para que los docentes busquen estrategias de afrontamiento de las enfermedades relacionadas con el trabajo.
