Introduction: The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to being a threat to physical health, also greatly disrupts the psychosocial and mental functioning of the global population, es¬pecially vulnerable groups, including the elderly. The level of religiosity among the elderly is higher than that of any other age group. For the elderly, religion is a powerful source of social support and inner strength to withstand exposure to stress and physical changes. Religion influen¬ces mental well-being, gives a sense of meaning and purpose in life. Life satisfaction can be defi¬ned as psychological well-being. The perception of one's own health and the presence of psycho¬logical problems affect the perception of life satisfaction. Objective: the objective of the research is to examine the relationship between the subjective experience of life satisfaction and religion with psychological stress during the COVID-19 pandemic in the elderly. Methods: 50 respondents over the age of 65 participated in the research. In addition to the socio-demographic questionnaire, the research used a religiosity questionnaire that measured the level of religiosity, life satisfaction was measured using the life satisfaction scale, while COVID stress was measured using the Covid stress scale. Results: More religious respondents achieve a higher score on the Covid stress scale. Respondents who declare themselves believers achieve significantly higher results on the life satisfaction scale compared to respondents who declare themselves atheists. Women are more religious than men. Unqualified workers report a statistically significantly higher level of psychological stress compa¬red to respondents with secondary education and respondents with higher and higher education. The age, education and religiosity of the respondents have a direct impact on the level of COVID stress. Older, less educated and more religious respondents report a higher level of stress. Conclusion: The task of public health interventions aimed at caring for the elderly is to help them deal with the aging process and its challenges. For elderly people, it is important to ensure the practice of religious faith through which they will satisfy their own spiritual needs and thereby increase their mental well-being and satisfaction with life.
