Data revealed that PPSAT trainers have similar or common stressors and perceived levels of stress. Their coping strategies differed in some aspects, showing uniqueness in dealing with different situations. More so, it was found that there is no significant relationship between the trainers’ perceived level of stress and work performance. Keywords: stress, coping strategies, resiliency, work performance
