Introduction:

COVID-19 has been a considerable challenge to obtain high-quality training for students in the Nursing area because universities continued with norms, outdated strategies that did not respond to changes. Objective: to analyse the characteristics of academic stress in Nursing students during the teaching-learning process in times of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods:

a systematic bibliographic review was carried out to develop a reflective critical analysis on the content of the bibliographies, with a documentary search based on the 32 previously selected original scientific articles, publications in English, Spanish and Portuguese in the Scopus databases, Pubmed, Dialnet, Scielo, Elsevier, Latindex, and Web of Science. The keywords used were stress, academy, resilience, pandemic, and virtual teaching.

Development:

the change from the face-to-face to the virtual environment caused a significant shift in the development of the teaching-learning mode, generating stress, for which reason care protocols for students must be managed.

Conclusions:

the academy was surprised by the pandemic, as it happened with the general population. Not enough strategies were articulated to be able to face the different situations that generated academic stress. Resilience needs to be addressed for all health eventualities.
