Objective: To determine the stress factors in mothers with school-age children during the pandemic. Materials and methods: Research with a quantitative approach, descriptive scope and cross-sectional design. A total of 124 mothers participated, to whom the adapted and validated Stress Factors in Mothers (FEMAF, for its Spanish acronym) questionnaire was administered with prior informed consent. The data were analyzed with the statistical program STATA version 17. Descriptive analysis was used, applying the distribution of frequencies and percentages. Results: A total of 87.1 % showed lack of support at home in the performance of household chores; 86.3 % reported low family budget to cover expenses for food, studies, house payments or rent, among others; 75.8 % reported the increase in the number of COVID-19 infections in their community as a stress factor; 74.2 % reported long working hours in the development of their work activities; 45.2 % showed family conflicts (fights or arguments) with their partner, children and other family members. Conclusions: The stress factors in mothers with school-age children during the pandemic were poor support in carrying out household chores, low family budget to cover expenses, long working hours in the development of their work activities, the increase in the number of COVID-19 infections in their community, and family conflicts.
