The decision to continue higher education while working in the host country had tremendous challenges.

There were 11 students participated in this study. This study was descriptive qualitative research, and the interactive model was applied in the analysis method. The data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. The finding of this study revealed that: i) The migrant workers had the high motivation to pursue higher education because they wanted to change the stereotype that they were left behind and to seek a better life when they came back to Indonesia; ii) Inadequate time was the main problem to manage the study time due to the high workload; iii) The learning strategies of migrant workers were peer learning, group discussion, and note-taking. However, Indonesian Open Learning University of Taiwan was the excellent choice for the migrant workers in Taiwan to pursue higher education due to the flexibility of learning.

Abstract

The transition into adulthood often triggers anxiety and unease, colloquially known as the quarter-life crisis. During these challenging times, individuals frequently turn to Islamic stress-coping methods as a guiding light to navigate through this transformative phase of life. This research aimed to explore the relationship between Islamic stress coping and the quarter-life crisis among college students from generation Z. This study, conducted in a descriptive quantitative manner, involved the participation of 398 college students. Data was collected through a comprehensive questionnaire, and data analysis employed the product-moment correlation method. The study's findings revealed that, firstly, generation Z college students tend to exhibit a significantly high prevalence of Islamic stress coping; secondly, the level of quarter-life crisis experienced by these demographic leans towards a moderate, and most significantly, there is a positive correlation between Islamic coping stress and the quarter-life crisis experienced by generation Z college students. This correlation presents a moderately strong positive connection, underscoring the notion that the effective utilization of Islamic stress coping mechanisms positively influences the management and alleviation of the quarter-life crisis.
