For students on the verge of transitioning from the academic realm to the professional sphere, anxiety plays a pivotal role in their lives. Anxiety in relation to the world of work is triggered by various factors, including uncertainty about the future, a lack of experience, and high social expectations. The phenomenon of excessive anxiety experienced by students can be mitigated through the implementation of psychological interventions. One such intervention involves the promotion of religiosity. Universitas Klabat (UNKLAB), located in North Sulawesi, is an institution that prioritizes the cultivation of profound spiritual knowledge among its students. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of religiosity and the level of student anxiety in facing the world of work in Profesi Ners students, Fakultas Keperawatan (FKEP) UNKLAB. This study has used a descriptive correlation research design with a cross-sectional approach. The research sample was determined using a total sampling technique with 73 participants. The analysis results show a significant value of p = 0.358; r = -0.109, which concludes that there is no significant relationship between religiosity and the level of anxiety facing the world of work in Profesi Ners students FKEP UNKLAB. It is recommended that students who are still in the low religiosity category be able to increase their religiosity. For further research, conduct research on a larger sample.
