Abstract
The emergence of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic disrupted all economic and social activities around the world. Undoubtedly, the period has been stressful for everyone including the learners. This study determined the significant relationship between the learner?s stressors and coping mechanisms amidst pandemic of the students of Pulong Sta. Cruz National High School, School Year 2021-2022. Based on the finding of the study, The extent of learner?s stressors amidst the pandemic resulted in High. However, the level of their preferred coping mechanism was Low during the pandemic.
The relationship between the demographic profile and the coping mechanism was significant. Likewise, the relationship between the learner?s stressors and coping mechanisms was substantial. This implies a need for an intervention plan to address the issue regarding the learner?s stressor amidst the pandemic. Therefore, the null hypothesis ?There is no significant relationship between learner?s profile and coping mechanisms? and ?There is no significant relationship between learner?s stressors and coping mechanisms? is rejected. Thus, this calls for the acceptance of the alternative, which incites that there is a significant relationship between the two. Parents, Teachers, and school administrators may collaborate to provide activities for the learners that will reduce their stress.
