The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between work stress and self-perception of health in physicians and nurses of the emergency area of the Hospital de Especialidades San Juan, in the city of Riobamba, Chimborazo, Ecuador, during the year 2020. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive design was applied. The population consisted of 51 professionals. A negative correlation of -0.837 was observed with a statistical significance given by a p-value of 0.01. This result shows that the higher the scores of the EL questionnaire, the lower the PHC scores and therefore the lower the health perception of the health personnel investigated. It is affirmed that there is sufficient evidence to suggest that the presence of work stress affects the self-perception of health. The results of the current study are consistent with the position that health professionals, particularly nurses, are considered a vulnerable group.
