Life offers a succession of challenges and demands. Sometimes the demands really seem to pile up or become very difficult to meet which is called stress. We learn and grow from such challenges and develop our resources for meeting the future demands. These are known as coping strategies. An exploratory study was conducted to assess the levels of stress and coping strategies adopted by women aged between 35 to 55 years residing in village Dhahan, District Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar, Punjab. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample of 60 women. Structured stress scale and modified coping response inventory were used to collect the data. The findings revealed that 91.7% women had moderate levels of stress and 96.7% used satisfactory approach coping strategies and 78.3% used satisfactory avoidance coping strategies. Weakly negative correlation exists between levels of stress and approach coping strategies and weakly positive correlation exists between levels of stress and avoidance coping strategies.
