The exogenous variable is the culture of spirituality. Endogenous variables are resilience and physical health. Data were collected using questionnaire research and analyzed using structural models with SmartPLS (Partial Least Square) software. Results: The results showed that spirituality culture factors had a positive effect on resilience with a coefficient of 0.449. Spirituality culture factors had a positive effect on physical health with a coefficient of 0.161, and resilience factors had a positive effect on physical health with a coefficient of 0.172. Conclusion: This indicates that the higher the spiritual culture of the Madurese community, the higher the resilience, psychological well-being, and physical health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
