Abstract

This quantitative study explores the relationship between Spirituality and resilience in K-12 students, aiming to understand how these factors contribute to mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 on their well-being and academic performance. The study will assess Spirituality using the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and resilience using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, which utilizes a non-experimental correlational design. Data from 100-120 students will be collected through surveys distributed online and in person. The analysis will include descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, multiple regression, and mediation analysis. By identifying protective factors and their effects, the study aims to provide insights for developing strategies to support students' recovery and enhance their resilience in the face of future challenges.
