This study aimed to validate and study the psychometric performance, internal consistency and dimensionality of the Perceived Stress Scale related to COVID-19 (EEP-10-C) with a sample of a total of 343 students, who completed the survey voluntarily. Validity was determined by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and its internal consistency was calculated with Cronbach's alpha (0.859) and McDonald's omega (0.887) coefficients. The results showed that two dimensions were established for EEP-10-C: general distress explained 44.2% of cumulative variance and coping ability, 55.8%. The AFC of the two-dimensional approach indicated adequate fit indices (X2/gl= 2.590, GFI=0.949, TLI=0.936, CFI= 0.952 the SRMR=0.0435 and the RMSEA=0.068). The EEP-10-C had an acceptable internal consistency and two dimensions that developed the psychometric instrument of perceived stress by covid-19 acceptable for Peruvian university students.
