The rapid spread of the corona virus has caused a lot of anxiety for people, so we should seek to identify factors that reduce COVID-19-related anxiety. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the Meaning in Life, spiritual well-being, and ego strength with COVID-19-related anxiety. The research method was a descriptive correlation. Using stratified random sampling, 330 secondary school students were studied through questionnaires on the Meaning in Life, spiritual well-being, ego strength, and COVID-19-related anxiety. Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise regression were used to analyze the data. According to the findings, there was a negative and significant relationship between the Meaning in Life, spiritual well-being, and ego strength with COVID-19-related anxiety. The regression results also showed that Meaning in Life, spiritual well-being, and ego strength can significantly predict COVID-19-related anxiety. According to these results, it can be said that by improving the Meaning in Life, spiritual well-being, and making ego stronger, students' COVID -19-related anxiety can be reduced.
