Abstract


Stres berkaitan dengan kehidupan mahasiswa. Ketika tidak diatasi dengan tepat, resiko berbagai permasalahan dapat terjadi, mulai dari performa akademik hingga kesehatan. Oleh karena itu, coping strategies menjadi penting. Riset ini bertujuan untuk mencari tahu jenis coping strategies yang digunakan oleh mahasiswa. Pengumpulan data dilakukan secara online dan menggunakan convenient sampling diperoleh 339 responden mahasiswa Universitas Padjadjaran. Coping strategies diukur menggunakan COPE Inventory yang telah diadaptasi ke dalam bahasa Indonesia. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa coping strategy yang paling sering digunakan oleh mahasiswa Universitas Padjadjaran adalah turning to religion yang kemudian diikuti oleh positive reinterpretation and growth. Maladaptive coping strategies seperti focusing on and venting of emotion serta mental disengagement masih kerap digunakan sehingga diperlukan solusi untuk mengurangi strategi-strategi tersebut.
