Abstrakt: The study aimed to examine the coping with stress levels of women participated in sports activities. Material and Method. The universe of this study consisted of women participating in sports activities organized within the scope of the "Mother City" project implemented in Kocaeli. The sample consisted of 171 women who regularly participate in these sports activities. The coping with stress scale developed by Moos (1993) and prepared specifically for adults to measure coping with stress levels was used. Besides, an information form containing demographic characteristics was used. In this study, SPSS statistical 21.0 package program was used to analyse the data obtained through the personal information form. Frequency and percentage analyses were used to determine the descriptive characteristics of the women participating in the study. Mean and standard deviation analyses were used to determine women's coping with stress levels. Moreover, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon and nonparametric correlation analyses were used to examine the differentiation of coping with stress levels according to their descriptive characteristics. The significance level in the study was accepted as 0.05. Results. Significant differences were found in the scale total scores of women participated in sports and positive evaluation, guidance and support seeking and solving-problems sub-dimensions (p <0.05). Significant differences were found in the scale total score and sub-dimensions according to education level (p <0.05). A highly positive relationship was found between age, the total and sub-dimensions of the coping with stress scale (p <0.05). According to marital status, a significant difference was found in the total score and positive evaluation and solving-problem sub-dimensions of the scale (p <0.05). There was a significant difference in support seeking subdimension according to drug use status (p <0.05). No significant difference was found in scale total score and subdimensions according to the duration of doing sports (p> 0.05). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
