High teacher stress is associated with physical and mental health problems, and can have negative occupational consequences. Teaching has been associated with increased stress ( Carroll et al., 2022 Li et al., 2022). Due to the emerging challenges and uncertainties of the social world and professional complexity, including collegial competition, standardized performance, increasing accountability, and rapid assessment, the teaching profession is considered to be at high risk ( Zhang et al., 2023). However, rapid social and technological changes and constant monitoring of society are increasingly challenging for teachers ( Carroll et al., 2022). Teaching is a socially valuable, meaningful and influential profession. Effective coping strategies such as problem solving, exercise, and hobbies improve emotional well-being, whereas negative coping methods such as self-isolation and alcohol consumption lead to psychological distress and lower enthusiasm at work. Results: The study results show that teachers’ age, seniority, size of residence, and marital status do not affect their emotional health, but their financial situation and hobbies have a positive impact on enthusiasm. The WHO-5, the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K6), the Spanish Burnout Inventory, Educational Version (SBI-Ed) and the Coping Strategies Scale were used in the study. Methods: The sample consisted of 385 teachers from Lithuania, with an average age of 50.2 (☙.62) years and 24.9 (☑1.8) years of school experience. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between teachers’ emotional health and stress coping. Coping strategies can effectively improve teachers’ emotional health. Teachers’ mental health affects not only their own well-being, but also the quality of education and student achievement. Teachers experience high levels of work-related stress, which causes symptoms such as anxiety, depression and burnout. Introduction: Teaching is a profession that involves challenges to emotional health. Faculty of Medicine, Vilnius University, Vilnius, Lithuania.
