The independent variable in this study was religious coping, while the dependent variable was the level of depression. The data analysis used univariate in the form of frequency distribution and bivariate using Spearman's rank correlation.

Results: The results of the analysis show that there is no significant relationship between positive religious coping and depression (p = 0.352; r = -0.066), while negative religious coping is significantly related to depression (p = 0.000; r = 0.333).
