With the sudden transition to online learning, students were faced with unprecedented challenges, including disruptions to their learning environments, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The adaptability of the online learning environment to cater to diverse learning needs plays a pivotal role in determining student satisfaction.It is also essential to recognize and address the early signs of psychological distress to prevent the escalation of mental health issues.This study aims to investigate the relationship between the psychological health and online learning satisfaction of nursing students in IIUM Kuantan after Covid 19 pandemic.This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design to investigate the relationship between the psychological health and online learning satisfaction among nursing students at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM), Kuantan campus.The results indicated a statistically significant, albeit weak, negative correlation between psychological health and online learning satisfaction among the students, with a correlation coefficient of r = -0.203 and a p-value of 0.002. The weak but significant negative correlation between psychological health and online learning satisfaction implies that students with better psychological health tend to be more satisfied with online learning.
