    Introduction. Stress in university teachers is considered a serious health problem today, which not only affects them personally, but also in their work field and the educational process. Objective. Design a prevention strategy based on Stress Inoculation Training (SIT) through Progressive Muscle Relaxation Techniques (PMRT) and the justification of the use of biomarkers for objective measurement. Methodology. Study with a descriptive and explanatory documentary design. The design of the strategy proposes four phases: Selection of teachers under inclusion criteria, application of the ILO-WHO questionnaire on work stress, psycho-education and measurement of cortisol in hair samples, before and after training with PMRT. Results. It is evidenced that stress produces physiological changes with an impact on several systems (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal, sympathetic adreno-medullary and immunological), which justifies the use of biomarkers for its objective measurement. One of them is cortisol in hair, proposed in this study, given that it is a non-invasive sample and not sensitive to changes in the circadian rhythm, among other advantages. In adverse work situations, resilient teachers achieve a greater capacity to overcome difficulties and adapt adequately, however, most require the development of psychological skills that allow them better coping to manage stress. Conclusions. The designed strategy aims to ensure the well-being of teachers in their work environment, reducing the stress rate, from different approaches, through psychological and physiological factors, because some measurement instruments can be affected by biases, from the physiological point of view, cortisol in hair is considered a potential biomarker, which also provides a strategy for the assessment of the long of the time. The reduction of stress indices is founded and the development of Burnout Syndrome is avoided with the training of PMRT skills

    Estrategia didáctica para la enseñanza del a prevención del cáncer de mama a partir de la caracterización de marcadores genéticos e inmunológicos

    Breast cancer is defined as the abnormal cellular proliferation of the gland's own cells, of heterogeneous cause caused by a cluster of genetic and immunological alterations, being clear that this pathological entity is multifactorial. Historically, the application of strategies for the prevention of breast cancer has been based on a lifestyle approach without a broad focus on genetic and immunological aspects of the local context. Given this problem, the need arises to design a strategy based on the application of the practical simulation technique linked to these relevant aspects within the pathophysiology and prevention of breast cancer. The proposed objective was to develop a didactic strategy for teaching breast cancer prevention based on the characterization of genetic and immunological markers and to identify the level of competencies, abilities and skills developed in nursing students for prevention. effective and efficient treatment of breast cancer. A non-experimental, longitudinal and prospective descriptive methodology was applied. A predesigned scale was used to assess the knowledge, skills and attitudes developed in nursing students in breast cancer prevention, which served as a baseline for the proposal of a didactic strategy for teaching promotion and prevention of breast cancer based on immunology-genetics; It was identified that within the assistance competencies, the ones with the least development were the items related to assessment and planning, while in the behavioral competencies, the ones with the least acquisition were those related to relationships; a didactic strategy aimed at the teaching staff based on the new teaching methodologies and composed of four components was proposed, proposing as a basis problematizing, creative learning, simulation and the use of new technologies; Lastly, indicators were proposed to evaluate competencies in breast cancer prevention, with an emphasis on immunogenetic markers for monitoring the strategy. It was concluded that there is a great influence of traditional teaching methodologies in the poor training in skills of future nursing professionals, especially in issues related to the prevention of gynecological cancer
