Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, students had mental health challenges to prevent increased mental health issues, so students need to have a strong coping strategy. This study analyzed coping strategies for strengthening mental health. This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. This study involved 675 students at the Universitas Negeri Jakarta in 2022. The measurement of mental health issues used the modified Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) instrument with 12 items while coping strategies used the modified Academic Coping Strategies Scale (ACSS) with 16 items. Data analysis used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and simple linear regression. The analysis results show that all items have an outer loading of more than 0.6 with an Average Variance Extractive (AVE) above 0.5. Each item from the two instruments meets the outer and inner model criteria so that all items fit the model. Regression testing concluded that there was a significant negative influence between coping strategies and students’ mental health issues. The higher the coping strategies students use, the lower the chances of students having mental health issues. So, it is necessary to strengthen students’ mental health through counselling or psychotherapy.
