This study focused on the prevalence of stress among metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients and coping styles that have been used while dealing with the stress arise. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on patients with MetS attending Out Patient Clinic, Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. A total of 142 respondents (Males, n= 47; Females, n= 95) who fulfilled the selection criteria were interviewed using Malay version of questionnaires: Personal Stress Inventory (PSI) and Brief COPE. Data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 20). Results: Mean age for the respondent are 56.30 ± 11.66 years. The prevalence of stress among the respondents is 14.1% using ATP III definition. Malay ethnic (n = 133) was predominantly homogenous in this study. Female (13.4%), married (13.4%) and non- employed (12.0 %) respondents are having more stress. There are significant differences in coping styles like planning (p = 0.02), venting (p = 0.00), behavioral disengagement (p = 0.01) and self blame (p = 0.05). Acceptance (mean score, SD = 7.23, 1.19) and religion (mean score = 7.21, 1.20) are considered the most popular coping styles among the respondents. While the least used of coping style was substance abuse (mean score = 2.10, 0.87). However, there are no significant values between them.
