description Work-related stress in nursing professionals is one of the most common problems within their work environment. Factors such as a shortage of biosafety equipment, high patient demand, and inadequate communication between staff cause stress to increase considerably, interfering with quality patient care. Therefore, the research objective is to determine the stress level in nurses working in healthcare facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic in North Lima. This is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a population of 255 nurses who answered a sociodemographic data questionnaire and the Spanish version of the Nursing Stress Scale. The results showed that 22.4% of professionals with service between 1 and 5 years had low stress, 43.9% medium stress, and 33.6% high stress. In conclusion, strategies should be implemented to maintain the mental health of nurses through counseling with specialized mental health professionals.
