Abstract

Introduction: Stress has become one of the most common syndromes in the workplace and threatens the health of one in five workers in the world (World Health Organization [WHO], 2022). Objective: evaluate the level of perceived stress in postgraduate residents of the College of Medicine, University of Los Andes, 2024. Method: quantitative research approach, analytical type, cross-sectional design, because the data is collected at a specific time. The sample was made up of 63 residents. The Perceived Stress Scale (EEP-10) was used. Results: sex 55.6% female, in the age groups, the highest percentages were 31 to 35 years (47.6%) and 25 to 30 years (41.3%), origin, 61.9% from a place other than Mérida, 68.3% with a stable partner, most common endocrinological comorbidities (65.1%), psychobiological habit: alcohol (30.2%), psychosomatic factor: anxiety (33.3%), the highest response percentage was from second-year residents (34.9%) and from the clinical area (65.1%). The EEP-10 values were between 4 and 33 points, 50.8% at a medium level, with a mean and standard deviation of 17.35 ± 6.98 points. Statistical differences were determined across the year of study (p=0.020), finding through the Tuckey test that there are differences between first year, compared to fourth and fifth year. Conclusions: stress is between the medium and medium-high level in three out of four residents. It was also found that the shorter the year of residence, the higher the degree of perceived stress.RESUMENIntroducción: el estrés se ha convertido en uno de los síndromes más habituales en el mundo laboral y amenaza la salud de uno de cada cinco trabajadores en el mundo (Organización Mundial de la Salud [OMS], 2022).
