    The present study aimed to describe the stress coping strategies used by adults experiencing begging, who are users of the Fundación Ciudadanos en Acción in Cuenca, during the 2025- 2026 period. The research followed a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, cross- sectional, and descriptive design. The sample consisted of 48 participants selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Data were collected using a sociodemographic form and the Brief COPE Inventory. The results showed a predominance of adaptive coping strategies, with religion, emotional support, acceptance, and active coping emerging as the most frequently used styles. Conversely, substance use, humor, and self-blame were the least utilized strategies. Differences were also identified according to sociodemographic variables such as sex, age, marital status, and educational level. The findings indicate that participants primarily rely on emotional regulation and support-seeking strategies, which are influenced by cultural, personal, and contextual factors associated with their vulnerable living conditions.
