Taking into account the aforementioned considerations, this dissertation aimed to find out to what extent spiritual coping in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic is associated with the perception of meaning in life and positive and negative affects. The research was carried out using a quantitative methodology, during the year 2020. The Spiritual Coping Scale for the Coronavirus Epidemic (EEPEC) was built as instruments for this study, and administered together with the Meaning of Life Questionnaire (QSV), the Positive and Negative Affects Scale and a Sociodemographic Questionnaire to a sample of 243 people from the Brazilian population.
