Pearson correlation coefficient and stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Results: There was a positive correlation between the problem-solving styles of helplessness, avoidance, and tendency, and perceived stress, and there was a significant negative correlation between the problem-solving styles of inhibition, creativity, and trust and the perceived stress (p = 0.01). Also, there is a significant correlation between self-efficacy and resilience subscales and perceived stress (p = 0.01). And there is a significant correlation between the total score of psychological capital and the subscales of hope and optimism and perceived stress (p = 0.05). The stepwise regression coefficients showed that inhibition style with a beta coefficient (β = 0.27), creativity style with a beta coefficient (β = 0.24), self-efficacy psychological capital with a beta coefficient (β = 0.20), psychological capital Resilience with a beta coefficient (β = 0.19), and psychological capital of optimism with a beta coefficient (β = 0.17) were able to predict the perceived stress of coronavirus in women.
