Work stress is one of the factors that influence the decline in performance of healthcare workers. Stress coping, as an adaptation mechanism to work pressure, plays a crucial role in maintaining the quality of healthcare services, particularly in remote areas such as the Seba Community Health Center in Sabu Raijua Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 50 healthcare workers selected by simple random sampling from a population of 101. Data were collected using a stress coping and performance questionnaire, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level of 0.05. Most respondents used emotion-focused coping strategies (58%), while the remainder used problem-focused coping (42%). Healthcare workers' performance was generally in the fair (56%) and good (44%) categories. Statistical test results showed a significant relationship between stress coping and performance (p= 0.004). The findings indicate that healthcare workers who use problem- focused coping tend to have better performance. Active and solution-oriented coping strategies support work effectiveness amidst work pressure, compared to strategies that only focus on emotional control.
