Objective: to understand how nursing students experience, during the formative process,
stressful events caused by the course. Methods: exploratory-descriptive study with a
qualitative approach. A total of18 nursing students from a state university in the Northwest
of Paraná participated in the study. For the data collection, a semi-structured interview
was used. The data analysis was obtained through Content Analysis, Bardin´s thematic
modality. Results: it was possible to identify stress-triggering aspects: insecurity in the
clinicals, pressure for grades and participation in projects and excessive academic
activities, making it difficult to keep social life, leisure and an adequate sleep pattern,
resulting in physical, emotional and behavioral disturbance. Coping strategies were the
presence of family and friends and carrying out leisure activities. Final Considerations:
Faced with the stressful events cited and coping strategies, it is necessary to review the
role of the university in the promotion of health and the quality of life of students
