Estudo exploratório, descritivo, quantitativo, realizado entre abril e maio de 2011. Seu objetivo foi identificar estressores entre acadêmicos de enfermagem de uma universidade pública do Rio Grande do Sul. Utilizou-se um formulário para a caracterização dos discentes e o Instrumento Avaliação de Estresse em Estudantes de Enfermagem para coleta de dados. Participaram 130 discentes com predomínio do sexo feminino (86,92%), com idade entre 20 e 24 anos (69,23%). As situações de gerenciamento do tempo representaram maior desgaste ( X = 1,93; dp = 0,56), e aquelas referentes à comunicação profissional menor desgaste ( X = 1,38; dp = 0,64). Os alunos estão com dificuldades para conciliar as atividades acadêmicas com as demandas pessoais, emocionais e sociais. A identificação dos estressores poderá contribuir para que as coordenações das instituições de ensino superior revejam metodologias de ensino e proposição de ações que visem o bem-estar acadêmico, com vistas à minimização do estresse.

RESUMEN
Estudio exploratorio, descriptivo, cuantitativo, realizado entre abril y mayo de 2011. El objetivo fue identificar los factores estresantes entre estudiantes de enfermería de una universidad pública de Rio Grande do Sul-Brasil.

Las situaciones de gestión del tiempo representaron mayor desgaste ( X = 1,93; dp = 0,56) y a la comunicación profesional menor desgaste ( X = 1,38; dp = 0,64).
