Data collection using a coping mechanism questionnaire and mental health after a breakup questionnaire. The results showed that some respondents had adaptive coping mechanisms (53.5%) and good mental health (55.4%). The results of statistical analysis using the chi-square test showed a significant relationship between coping mechanisms and mental health (p value=0.001) and students with maladaptive coping mechanisms were 10 times more likely to experience poor mental health after they experienced a breakup.
