ABSTRACT Higher education is replete with considerable changes, challenges, and novel situations for many Brazilian youths entering college. This study's objective was to translate, adapt, and verify the content validity and internal consistency of the Perceptions of Academic Stress Scale to measure university students' perceptions regarding academic stress and its sources. The study was performed in two stages. The first comprised the instrument's translation, adaptation, and content validity, and the second consisted of an assessment of its internal consistency. Both stages presented satisfactory results, with a strong inter-rater agreement and acceptable internal consistency measures. The verification of the content validity and the reliability of the PAS Scale for the Brazilian context resulted in an instrument with appropriate and relevant psychometric parameters.

Palavras-chave : stress; university students; higher education; content validity; reliability.
