Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT The coronavirus pandemic brought an unprecedented disruption to society, with this, the impacts fostered by the crisis also extended to educational institutions. The aim of this study was to investigate whether higher education activities can be considered a stressor in a pandemic context. The sample consisted of 136 students with remote academic activities and 131 with suspended academic activities, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire and an open question about the factors that have raised the level of stress in the months of April, May, June and July 2020. The textual corpus was processed with the aid of the Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires software. As a result, there were several stressors related or not related to academic activities for both groups, although the performance of digital academic activities has been pointed out with great frequency. Thus, digital academic activities are related to the level of stress among students. RESUMEN La pandemia de coronavirus trajo una disrupción sin precedentes a la sociedad. Los impactos propiciados por la crisis se extendieron también a las instituciones educativas. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar si las actividades de educación superior pueden considerarse un factor de estrés en un contexto de pandemia. La muestra estuvo conformada por 136 estudiantes con actividades académicas remotas y 131 con actividades académicas suspendidas, quienes respondieron un cuestionario sociodemográfico y una pregunta abierta acerca de los factores que han elevado el nivel de estrés en los meses de abril, mayo, junio y julio de 2020. El corpus textual se procesó con la ayuda del software Iramuteq. Como resultado, se presentaron varios factores estresantes relacionados o no con las actividades académicas para ambos grupos, aunque se ha señalado con gran frecuencia el desempeño de las actividades académicas digitales. Así, las actividades académicas digitales están relacionadas con el nivel de estrés de los estudiantes. RESUMO A pandemia do coronavírus trouxe uma ruptura sem precedentes à sociedade, com isso, os impactos fomentados pela crise também se estenderam para as instituições de ensino. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar se as atividades de ensino superior podem ser consideradas um fator estressor no contexto pandêmico.
