This study methodology was quantitative, descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional. Participants were made up of 75 representatives of Bilingual Educational Institute "Home and School" INEBHYE. Instruments used were Lifestyle Profile Questionnaire (PEPS-I, in Spanish) and Stress Coping Questionnaire (CAE, in Spanish) with which it was obtained as a result that a healthy lifestyle predominates because families have been facing their stress under problem solving, positive reassessment and religion in the face of confinement. As a conclusion, it is obtained that there is a statistically significant association between the subscales of coping with stress and families lifestyle, which would imply a change in lifestyle to face the stress caused by confinement due to COVID-19.
