This research aims to determine the association between cognitive distortions and work stress in public health personnel. The study took a non-experimental and cross-sectional quantitative approach with a descriptive-correlational scope. The Inventory of Automatic Thoughts (IPA) by Ruiz and Luján (1991); was applied; and the Stress Assessment Questionnaire constructed by Villalobos (2010), cited by the Ministry of Social Protection (MPS, 2010), to a total of 92 professionals in the field of public health. Three types of analysis were carried out: descriptive, inferential and association. Frequencies, percentages and measures of central tendency were obtained where the Chi square was applied to establish statistically significant relationships with a significance level of .05. Finally, the Odds Ratio (OR) was used to determine the probability of occurrence. As main results, 24 statistically significant relationships were obtained with the 15 cognitive distortions related to 3 of the 4 dimensions of work stress, all of them complying with a level of P<.05, with an intensity that was scored between medium and high. It is concluded that all automatic thoughts had a significant relationship with the appearance of work stress in the dimensions of physiological, social behavior and intellectual and labor symptoms.
