Students are vulnerable to mental disorders that have a negative impact on their academic achievement,
so self-efficacy is needed to overcome it. Mental health as a belief in one's ability to achieve goals, peer support
can have a positive influence, one of which is in increasing self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to identify
the relationship between mental health and peer support with students' self-efficacy. The study was conducted
using a quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis techniques assisted by SMARTPLS. The
sample in this study was 240 students with accidental sampling techniques. The data collection instrument was
carried out with the help of a google form through social media that had been distributed. The results of the study
showed a positive and significant relationship between mental health and peer support on students' self-efficacy,
the independent variables simultaneously contributed 59.9% to the dependent variable. The partial hypothesis of
the mental health variable showed a significant relationship with self-efficacy with a regression coefficient value
of 0.956 and the peer support variable also showed a significant relationship with self-efficacy with a regression
coefficient value of 0.499
