Summary/Abstract: This article explores the relationship between stress and the process of translating medical texts. It starts with an approach of stress as a psychological phenomenon and how it affects cognitive abilities, including concentration, memory and decision-making, which are key aspects of a translator's work. It then presents a methodology for analysing medical texts, identifying the essential characteristics that must be considered, such as specific terminology, precision and clarity. Finally, it examines how stress can influence the quality of medical translations and what strategies can be implemented to minimise its impact, such as time management, relaxation techniques and work organisation.
