SUMMARY:

Stress is a psychophysiological response to a stimulus that demands personal resources in the face of specific daily demands. At high levels, it can lead to physical and mental exhaustion, with consequences such as reduced quality of life. The general aim of this research was to identify the levels of stress perceived by stricto sensu postgraduate students, as well as how this perception relates to subjective well-being and self-care. The specific objectives are to categorize the main variables that are perceived as stressors in the academic environment, to identify possible strategies for self-care, coping and stress management during continuing education and to explore possibilities for interventions that promote subjective well-being and can help mitigate the stress perceived by these students. To this end, the exploratory sequential mixed method was used, comprising a survey made up of the Stress Perception Scale (BPSS-10), the Subjective Well-Being Subscale 2 and the Self-Care Subscale of the Sustainable Behavior Scale and a semi-structured interview script. The survey sample consisted of 190 postgraduate students enrolled in stricto sensu postgraduate courses in the five regions of Brazil. The interview sample consisted of 17 students enrolled at the University of Brasilia, all of whom were elementary school teachers undergoing continuing education. Statistical analysis and content analysis were carried out on the results. The results show that the study participants have moderate to high levels of Satisfaction with Life (M=3.11; SD=0.20), high to severe levels of Perceived Stress (M=33.68) and moderate levels of Self-Care (M=3.74; SD=0.55). The students interviewed perceive the following as stress factors in postgraduate studies: too many compulsory activities, financial difficulties, conflicts between personal and academic demands and interpersonal relationships with supervisors. This thesis expect to contribute to a reflection on the role of Education in Health Promotion, considering preventive aspects to maintain the quality of life of this group which represents an important force of intellectual production for the development of the country
