dc.description	Self-efficacy could be key in the explanation of the appearance of stress. Self-efficacy could also influence stress coping because these beliefs could determine if the coping behaviour will be initiated, during how much time and how much effort will be expended. In this work a sample of 258 students of Sciences of the Health was selected, 228 women and 30 men with ages between the 18 and 45 years, being the average age of 21 years. The academic stress questionnaire (CEA) elaborated by Cabanach, Valle, Rodr&iacute;guez and Pi&ntilde;eiro was used. The results corroborates previous investigations that point out that to low sense of personal effectiveness frequently appears tie with high levels of anxiety and symptoms of stress and that those individuals that they have high levels of self-efficacy maintain significantly less levels of ill-being. On the other hand, results obtained in relation with the coping strategies are also coincident with the indicated ones in recent investigations. Las expectativas de autoeficacia podr&iacute;an ser claves en la explicaci&oacute;n de la aparici&oacute;n de respuestas de estr&eacute;s. Adem&aacute;s estas creencias podr&iacute;an influir en el afrontamiento del estr&eacute;s al determinar si la conducta de afrontamiento ser&aacute; iniciada, durante cu&aacute;nto tiempo se perseverar&aacute; en la misma y el grado de esfuerzo dedicado. En este trabajo se seleccion&oacute; una muestra de 258 estudiantes de Ciencias de la Salud, 228 mujeres y 30 hombres con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 45 a&ntilde;os, siendo la edad media de 21 a&ntilde;os. Se emple&oacute; el Cuestionario de Estr&eacute;s Acad&eacute;mico (CEA), elaborado por Cabanach, Valle, Rodr&iacute;guez y Pi&ntilde;eiro. Los resultados son congruentes con los de investigaciones previas que apuntan a que un bajo sentido de eficacia personal aparece frecuentemente vinculado con elevados niveles de ansiedad y sintomatolog&iacute;a propia del estr&eacute;s y que aquellos individuos que tienen elevados niveles de autoeficacia mantienen niveles de malestar significativamente inferiores. Por otra parte, los resultados obtenidos en relaci&oacute;n con el empleo de estrategias de afrontamiento son coincidentes con los se&ntilde;alados en investigaciones recientes.
