Contexte et objectif. Le stress au travail touche tous les secteurs d’activités dont celui de l’éducation. La présente avait pour objectif de déterminer la prévalence du stress chez les enseignants et d’identifier les facteurs associés au stress chez les enseignants du secondaire de Ouagadougou. Méthodes. Nous avons réalisé une étude transversale auprès des enseignants du secondaire de la ville de Ouagadougou. Le questionnaire teacher stress inventory de Fimian a été utilisé pour évaluer le niveau de stress chez les enseignants. Nous avons utilisé une analyse régression logistique multivariée pour identifier les facteurs associés au stress chez les enseignants. Résultats. Quatre cent trente-neuf enseignants ont été enrôlés. L’âge moyen des enseignants était de 43,5 ans. Ils avaient en moyenne un volume horaire hebdomadaire de 19,3 heures. Ils enseignaient en Moyenne depuis 15,6 ans. Les enseignants consommateurs de substances psychoactives représentaient 34,8 %, ceux qui avaient des pathologies en cours représentaient 37,1 %. La prévalence du stress professionnel chez les enseignants était de 16,4 %. Les pathologies en cours (OR ajusté =2,06, p=0,012), le volume horaire hebdomadaire supérieur à 22 heures (OR ajusté=1,92, p=0,024) augmentaient le risqué d’être stressé chez les enseignants. A l’inverse avoir des loisirs réduisait 3x ce risque (OR ajusté =0,31 ; p=0,020). Conclusion. La prévalence du stress chez les enseignants du secondaire est élevée. Les pathologies en cours chez les enseignants, un volume horaire hebdomadaire supérieur à 22 heures étaient des facteurs de risque tandis que les loisirs étaient un facteur protecteur. English title: Prevalence and associated factors of occupational stress among secondary school teachers of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso: a cross-sectional observational study Context and objective. Occupational stress affects all activity branches. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of stress among teachers of the secondary school of Ouagadougou and identify the associated factors of stress among teachers of the secondary school of Ouagadougou. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study with secondary teachers in Ouagadougou. Fimian's teacher stress inventory was used to evaluate teacher stress levels. We used a logistical regression to identify stress-related factors in teachers. Results. Four hundred and thirty-nine teachers were involved. Their mean age was 43.58 years. They had on average a weekly hourly volume of 19.35 hours. They had been teaching for 15.61 years on average. The teachers who used psychoactives substances represented 34.85%, those who had medical condition represented 37.13%. The prevalence of work related stress among teacher was 16.4 %. Medical conditions (OR adjusted =2.06, p=0.012), the weekly hourly volume of more than 22 hours (OR ajusted=1.92, p=0.024) raised the risk of work related stress of teachers. In contrast, the leisures were a protector factor OR adjusted =0.31, p=0.020). Conclusion. The prevalence of work related stress among secondary school teacher was high. Medical conditions, weekly hourly volume of more than 22 hours were identified as risk factors but leisures were identified as protector factor. Keywords: occupational stress, teachers, Ouagadougou

Psychiatric bed numbers (general, forensic, and residential) and prison populations have been considered indicators of institutionalization. The present study aimed to assess changes of those indicators across sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) from 1990 to 2020.We retrospectively obtained data on psychiatric bed numbers and prison populations from 46 countries in SSA between 1990 and 2020. Mean and median rates, as well as percentage changes between first and last data points were calculated for all of SSA and for groups of countries based on income levels.Primary data were retrieved from 17 out of 48 countries. Data from secondary sources were used for 29 countries. From two countries, data were unavailable. The median rate of psychiatric beds decreased from 3.0 to 2.2 per 100 000 population (median percentage change = -16.1%) between 1990 and 2020. Beds in forensic and residential facilities were nonexistent in most countries of SSA in 2020, and no trend for building those capacities was detected. The median prison population rate also decreased from 77.8 to 71.0 per 100 000 population (-7.8%). There were lower rates of psychiatric beds and prison populations in low-income and lower-middle income countries compared with upper-middle income countries.SSA countries showed, on average, a reduction of psychiatric bed rates from already very low levels, which may correspond to a crisis in acute psychiatric care. Psychiatric bed rates were, on average, about one twenty-fifth of countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), while prison population rates were similar. The heterogeneity of trends among SSA countries over the last three decades indicates that developments in the region may not have been based on coordinated policies and reflects unique circumstances faced by the individual countries.
