Özet:

 This study aims to examine how spirituality influenced coping outcomes among informal workers during the COVID-19 epidemic. The Sustainable Livelihood Approach SLA theory is used to comprehend how informal workers cope. 367 heads of households residing in Kuala Lumpurs government flats, generally called peoples housing projects PPRs, participated in the quantitative study. Using the multiple regression analysis and PROCESS, the study found a relationship between physical, financial, and social capital and coping outcomes. On another note, spirituality mediated the coping outcomes during hard times, except for natural and physical capital. Spirituality builds resilience and hopefulness, essential for good mental health within this group. This paper also presents the practical implications of government machinery in mitigating the epidemics effects on informal workers, particularly in urban areas.
