WORSHIP EXPERIENCE SEBAGAI STRATEGI KOPING SPIRITUAL TERHADAP KORTISOL (HORMON STRES) PADA MAHASISWA TEOLOGI
Abstract
This study explores “Worship Experience as a Spiritual Coping Strategy for Cortisol (Stress Hormone) in Theology Students,” focusing on the role of worship in coping with stress characterized by high cortisol levels. Theology students often face academic and spiritual pressures, making an understanding of spiritual coping mechanisms crucial to preventing the negative effects of prolonged stress on physical and mental health. The qualitative research method based on a literature review involved collecting and analyzing relevant literature on the relationship between worship, spiritual coping, stress, and cortisol. The analysis was conducted through description and synthesis of the literature results. The results show that worship is effective in reducing psychological stress, maintaining the balance of the hormone cortisol as a biological indicator of stress, and increasing the meaning of life and hope as sources of spiritual strength. Worship also has a positive impact on physical and emotional conditions. In conclusion, the experience of worship is an important strategy for supporting the mental and physical health of theology students.
