Methods: Quantitative, descriptive correlational study with a cross-sectional approach, with a sample of 355 national nurses who work in urgency/emergency situations, mostly female (51.1%) and with a mean age of 39.25±8.89 years. AN anonymous questionnaire was used, consisting of sociodemographic and professional questions (ad hoc) and the Stress Perception Scale (EPS), adapted for the Portuguese population by Pais Ribeiro & Marques (2009).

Conclusion: The average ranking values indicate a higher level of stress on the part of younger nurses (≤years), male, divorced, with a master’s degree, who work in the private sector, with more time of professional practice, followed by those who have between 21-30 years and those with 11-20 years of service and by nurses with a CIT; followed by those with CTFP-TRC and CCT. Nurses working in Lisbon and Tagus Valley region perceived a higher level of stress (p=0.001).
