Perceived stress represents a subjective belief about possibility to control and predict one’s life as well as the belief in one’s ability to cope with the problems. The sample consists of 621 young people (373 girls), students of secondary school and university, average age 18,3. Translated and partly culturally adapted Perceived stress scale was used, which measures the degree to which a person experiences their life unpredictable, out of control and overloading. Results of the research have shown that the average value of perceived stress is 18.88 (SD= 6.03, Min= 0, Max=40), which indicates that our respondents assessed their life as stressful, and the individual differences are quite large. The average value of the subjective assessment of health is 3.92 (SD= 1.03, Min= 1, Max= 5), which indicates that most of the respondents assess their health as very good. Results of linear regression analysis have shown that the perceived stress is a good predictor of subjective assessment of health, in which the subjects with higher score on perceived stress scale assessed their health worse, and vice versa (F (1,535)= 61.344, p= 0.000, β= -0.321)). Perceived stress explains 10.3% of the variance in the subjective assessment of the health status. Sažetak: U ovom istraživanju proveravan je uticaj percipiranog stresa na subjektivnu procenu zdravstvenog statusa. Percipirani stres predstavlja subjektivno uverenje o tome koliko je moguće kontrolisati i predvideti svoj život, kao i uverenje u vlastite sposobnosti i snage nošenja s problemima. Ukupan uzorak je činilo 621 mladih 90 (373 devojaka) učenika srednjih škola i fakulteta, prosečne starosti 18,3 godina. Korišćena je Skala percipiranog stresa koja meri stepen u kojem osoba doživljava svoj život nepredvidljvim, van kontrole i preopterećujućim. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da prosečna vrednost percipiranog stresa ispitanika iznosi 18.88 (SD=6.03, Min=0, Max=40), što ukazuje da ispitanici svoj život doživljavaju kao stresan, ali su i velike individualne razlike. Prosečna vrednost subjektivne procene zdravlja iznosi 3.92 (SD=1.03, Min=1, Max=5), što je podatak koji ukazuje da većina ispitanika procenjuje svoje zdravlje kao dobro. Rezultati linearne regresione analize su pokazali da je percipirani stres dobar prediktor subjektivne procene zdravlja, pri čemu ispitanici koje beleže više rezultate na skali percipiranog stresa, svoje zdravlje procenjuju kao lošije i obrnuto (F(1,535)=61.344, p=0.000, β= -0.321). Percipirani stres objašnjava 10.3% varijanse subjektivne procene zdravstvenog statusa.
