The present study was conducted to examine the role of problem-focused coping, with the mediating effect of positive emotion regulation strategies, in predicting protection and resilience against prolonged grief disorder. The research employed a correlational design based on structural equation modeling. The study sample consisted of students at Shahid Madani University of Azerbaijan during the 2023–2024 academic year, with a total population of 6,700 students. Sampling was carried out using a convenience sampling method, and the final sample included 302 participants. Data were collected using the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ-36), and the Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale–Revised (PG-13-R). Descriptive data analyses were performed using SPSS 26, and structural equation modeling was conducted using AMOS 24. The findings showed that problem-focused coping and components of positive emotion regulation had significant negative correlations with prolonged grief. The model demonstrated an acceptable level of fit, suggesting that training and applying positive emotion regulation strategies—such as positive reappraisal and positive refocusing—alongside a problem-focused coping style may enhance resilience against prolonged grief disorder.
