| Zusammenfassung: | Academic stress causes anxiety, distress, and fear, which are detrimental to students’ psychological well-being. Studies on the kinds of spiritual practices that could help college students manage academic-related stressors are limited. This study examined if and how spirituality helps college students deal with academic stress. A sample of twenty-five students responded to open-ended semi-structured interview questions. Results showed that most of the students engage in spiritual coping practices to manage their educational struggles. Spirituality is an excellent psychological resource for managing academic-related stressors, and it plays a significant role in shaping students’ identity, values, and life purpose. |
