Abstract: This quantitative research study determines the relationship between coping level, social support as a mediator, and perceived loneliness among overseas Filipino caregivers. Conducted from November 2023 to June 2024, the study involved 163 employed overseas Filipino caregivers from various countries, recruited through social media platforms like Facebook and Messenger. Utilizing a correlational research design, the study explored how these variables impact the well-being of participants. The study found that overseas Filipino caregivers had moderate coping levels, high social support, and moderate perceived loneliness. It was also revealed that coping level and social support are positively correlated. On the other hand, coping level and social support are both negatively correlated with perceived loneliness. Additionally, social support significantly mediated the relationship between coping level and loneliness, making coping level's impact on perceived loneliness significant only with social support included. Based on the findings, the researchers recommend identifying and improving their coping levels to prevent declination, addressing perceived loneliness, and implementing accessible mental health programs for overseas Filipino caregivers. Future researchers are also suggested to examine various coping, and social support sources, cultural contexts of host countries, the impact of social support across different age groups and genders, and their family dynamics to better understand how these factors influence perceived loneliness among caregivers.
