Background and Objectives: In the past few decades, spiritual health, as one of the dimensions of health besides physical, mental, and social health, has drawn the attention of psychologists and mental health professionals more than ever. However, there is a research gap in our country, so the primary purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual health and school burnout with the mediating role of social support. Methods: This descriptive correlational research used the path analysis method. The statistical population comprised all sixth-grade female students (600 people) in Rudbar City, Iran, in the academic year 2020-2021. The sample size is calculated with the Morgan table (234 people). The samples were recruited by a simple random sampling method, and the research tools were the related questionnaire. The content validity and reliability of this research were confirmed. The tests were analyzed according to the research questions by path analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the 1-sample t test. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS v. 26 software and LISREL software v. 8.8. Results: There is a significant relationship between spiritual health and school burnout (P=0.01). Also, there is a significant relationship between spiritual health and social support (P=0.01). The t values obtained from the studied paths have P-values less than 0.05, so the indirect effects were statistically significant. So, social support has had an indirect impact on spiritual health and academic burnout. Conclusion: One of the influential factors in reducing school burnout and increasing spiritual health is the social support perceived by students.
The Aim of this study was to determine the relationship between spiritual intelligence and academic engagement through the mediating role of academic conscience in female high school students in the second district of Zahedan, Iran. The method of study was a descriptive correlation research that was performed via path analysis. The statistical population of this study includes all female high school students in the second district of Zahedan in the academic year 2021-2022 (N = 4191)), which according to Krejcie and Morgan table 352 people were selected by stratified random sampling. For collecting data, three questionnaires were used: spiritual intelligence (King, 2008), academic engagement scale (Salmela-Aro & Upadaya, 2012) and academic conscience (McIllroy and Bunting, 2002). The results indicated that there was a direct and significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and academic engagement and between spiritual intelligence and academic conscience. Also, there was a direct and significant relationship between academic engagement and academic conscience. Furthermore, there was an indirect and significant relationship between spiritual intelligence and academic engagement through the mediating role of academic conscience in female high school students. In general, the research findings have supported the role of personality and motivational variables in academic engagement.
Background: The onset of the COVID-19 outbreak brought unprecedented psychological and emotional consequences, especially for recovered patients, so resiliency in disasters could be helpful. Objectives: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in the increasing resilience of recovered COVID-19 patients at the peak of the pandemic. Methods: This research was quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest design and control group. The statistical population of this study included all recovered COVID-19 patients with a mean age of 33.06 years at the peak of the pandemic in Isfahan (N = 30) in 2021-2022. They were selected by purposive sampling and randomly assigned to experimental and control groups (15 subjects in each group). After performing the pretest, the experimental group received a CBT program for 12 sessions, and then the post-test was performed. The required data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC; 2003). Results: The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and SD) and inferential statistics (analysis of covariance [ANCOVA]) using SPSS version 20. The findings showed that CBT led to increased resilience and had a significant effect on the experimental group (P < 0.01). Conclusions: CBT can be considered an effective treatment in reducing problems and improving the psychological indicators of recovered COVID-19 patients.
