The lockdown situation during the COVID-19 pandemic was a substantial pressure for housewives, especially in terms of the psychological effects. Before the pandemic, housewives in Indonesia took care of their husbands and children as a mother and as a wife.

To maintain their mental health, they needed to have strategies of coping mechanisms. This research aimed to examine the mental health of housewives in Sungai Bawang Culture Village and the process of adaptation from the cultural perspective of Dayak Kenyah Tribe. The researchers used mixed methods approaches.

Most of the housewives used coping strategies to focus on their problems (to overcome the core of the problems or try to reduce the negative effect due to the problems) and most of them did not have stress. Keywords: COVID-19, mental health, cultural perspective, coping strategies
