Method: descriptive study with a quantitative approach conducted with 65 women. A visual analog scale and the Modes of Coping with Problems Scale were used in the study and their correlation was analyzed through Spearman test and two open questions whose answers were categorized and quantified. Results: The stress level was 5.3. Stressors were related to perioperative, family and paid work. Religious practices by EMEP were the first focus. There was a positive correlation between emotional focus and stress level (p = 0.019) and between some aspects of coping among themselves. Conclusion: Women have a medium level of stress and they recognize stressors related to family, work and the surgery itself finding support in faith and in problem solving.
