MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study used a cross-sectional approach with a stratified random sampling technique on 110 students from one university in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The inclusion criteria include actively registered nursing students from undergraduate and vocational programs. Religious coping was assessed using The Psychological Measure of Islamic Religiousness (PMIR) and the Academic Resilience Questionnaire was used to evaluate students' academic resilience level. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential analysis. The Spearman rank correlation test was used to determine the relationship between variables.
RESULTS: The study's results revealed a significant relationship (rho = 0.415; p value < 0.05) between religious coping and academic resilience. High religious coping is related to the amount of academic resilience in students.
CONCLUSION: Students are expected to be able to use a religious coping strategy to boost academic resilience and adapt to any situation. Thus, students with good religious coping skills and high resilience will be able to face and solve problems and adapt to current learning conditions.
