This study aims to analyze the relationship between burnout and coping styles in students of the Guidance and Counseling Study Program at Universitas Muhammadiyah Tasikmalaya, class of 2021. The research employed a quantitative correlational design with a sample of 198 students. The instruments used were a burnout scale and a coping style questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson Product-Moment correlation test in SPSS version 25. The results indicate a significant positive relationship between burnout and coping styles, with a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.575 and a significance value (p) of 0.00 (< 0.05). This finding suggests that the higher a student's burnout, the more likely they are to experience a coping style. Conversely, students with lower burnout levels tend to exhibit lower coping styles. The conclusion of this study confirms that coping styles increase with higher levels of burnout among students. This research provides empirical evidence for educators and counselors to design guidance programs that enhance students' coping skills when facing academic challenges.
