Abstract: This study examines job stress and nurse performance in the emergency department of the Uldarico Rocca Fernández Hospital in Villa El Salvador, Peru, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study population's socio-demographic features and physical, social, and psychological stress levels were identified for this purpose. This was done using a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Seventy-three nurses, 42 graduates and 21 assistants completed a 34-item questionnaire. We observed extra dangers for frontline nurses. We observed that personal COVID-19 experiences greatly affect medical status, corroborating earlier research. SPSS 26 statistically analysed data. The Uldarico Rocca Fernández Hospital in Villa El Salvador, Peru, accommodated 73 participants, 42 nursing graduates, and 21 nursing assistants. Research personnel report moderate stress in the first setting (52.10%), high stress in the second (87.50%), and low stress in the third compared to the physical environment (which generates the most stress) (56.30%). Men 21-30 and 41-50, married or divorced, auxiliary, and 26-30 years in the military have greater mild stress. COVID-19 nurses were less stressed, improving teamwork. All essential staff assured study participants' enthusiasm. The Villa El Salvador, Peru, Uldarico Rocca Fernández Hospital could benefit from similar investigations.
