Objective: To describe the prevalence of stress, anxiety, and depression among primary and secondary school teachers in Ha Noi in 2020.

Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 481 teachers from ten primary and secondary schools in Ha Noi in September 2020. The participants' stress, anxiety, and depression levels were measured using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress scale 42 items. The data was cleaned and analysed using Stata 18.0 software.

Results: The most prevalent disorder was anxiety, with 42.4% of study participants showing anxious symptoms from mild to more serious levels. Noticeably, 12.1% of teachers reported severe levels of anxiety. The prevalence of depression and stress was 24.3% and 24.9%, respectively. 16.2% of teachers had symptoms of all three problems.

Conclusion: The prevalence of stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms was substantial among primary and secondary teachers in Ha Noi. It is essential to care for teachers’ mental health in such an emergency as COVID-19, especially those in the initial stages of their careers.
