Abstract:

Pandemics were not a novelty to the world, and the occurrence of such had affected many people, and students were among the vulnerable populations who were affected. For this reason, research on the coping strategies of students was conducted. This paper was the result of an in-depth assessment of the coping strategies, specifically between the problem- focused and emotion-focused coping strategies, of selected allied health students from Perpetual Help College of Manila's four different Allied Health College Departments in their Related Learning Experiences (RLE) class in the Skills Laboratory during virtual classroom setup. Specifically, 100 respondents were selected through a random sampling technique, following the criteria that : 1.) the respondents must be willing to participate in the study, 2.) be currently enrolled in Perpetual Help College of Manila, and 3.) be a second, third, or fourth-year allied health student. It was found that these two coping strategies were sometimes used in the virtual classroom setup for RLE classes, and it was concluded that they have a significant relationship with the students’ Related Learning Experiences (RLE) classes in their Skills Laboratory.
