Hubungan Antara Tingkat Spiritualitas dengan Tingkat Stres pada Mahasiswa yang Mengerjakan Skripsi

Students who are working on their undergraduate thesis often experience stress due to academic workload, pressure to graduate on time, and anxiety regarding their academic performance. Spirituality is considered one of the coping mechanisms that may help individuals achieve emotional calmness, life meaning, and self-acceptance, which potentially reduces stress. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of spirituality and stress among students working on their thesis. This research used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 134 students were selected using simple random sampling. The instruments used were the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES) to measure spirituality and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) to measure stress levels. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The findings indicate a significant correlation between spirituality and stress levels with a p-value of 0,002. The Spearman correlation coefficient (r = -0,264) indicates a negative correlation, meaning that higher levels of spirituality are associated with lower stress levels among thesis-writing students. There is a significant negative relationship between spirituality and stress among students working on their undergraduate thesis. Increasing spirituality may serve as an effective coping strategy to reduce stress during the thesis completion process.
