“…Meanwhile, the separation protest with r = 0.199 and p = 0.000 was the lowest aspect because it has very little correlation with psychological well-being. This is in line with study of [23] that individuals understand God is close and merciful, but they feel anxious and afraid to be left behind considering their sins [29].…”

“…The self-model aspect with a value of r = 0.240 and p = 0.000 does not have a big impact on increasing psychological well-being. [23] indicated that a positive self-model is an individuals' perception and relationship with God. People need to be anxious about being close to God because the inconsistent perception affects their psychological well-being [28].…”

“…This study focuses on attachment to God as one of the internal factors affecting psychological well-being. [23] showed that attachment to God is a belief to be in a safe place while under threat because it becomes the basis for individuals in living life's challenges. This is in line with study of [24] that attachment to God is positively correlated with psychological well-being.…”

This study aims to determine the relationship between attachment to God and psychological well-being among 244 Muslim students. This study is quantitative in nature because it uses a Likert scale. Data were collected using the Short 18 item scale of psychological well-being developed by Ryff and the Muslim Spiritual Attachment Scale (M-SAS) by Yildiz. The hypothesis shows that there is a positive correlation between attachment to God and emotional stability. The results showed that there was a positive relationship between attachment to God and students' psychological well-being with a value of r = 0.325 and p = 0.000 (p <0.05). This shows that the increase in attachment to God helps to develop psychological well-being. Therefore, the hypothesis in this study is accepted.

“…Magnano, Zammitti, Dibilio, and Faraci (2019) report among a sample of 531 Italian adults the satisfactory psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Jarel Spiritual Well-Being Scale (Hungelmann, Kenkel-Rossi, Klassen, & Stollenwerk, 1996). Yildiz, Bulut, and Miner (2019) report among three samples of Turkish Muslim college students (N = 525, N = 341, and N = 47) the adaptation for Turkish Muslims of a Muslim Spiritual Attachment Scale (God Attachment) (Miner, Ghobary-Bonab, & Dowson, 2017).…”

Muslim populations in Western countries are growing, and they face biopsychosocial, spiritual, and economic challenges. Although Islam gives utmost attention to mental health stability, Muslims tend to underutilize mental health services. Mental health professionals, whether they be researchers, practitioners, or trainers working in schools, colleges/universities, mental health agencies, and research institutions, are well positioned to serve Muslims. Mental health professionals can address Muslims' biopsychosocial and spiritual issues and enhance their quality of life. In the current study, as the authors, we (a) reviewed 300 peer-reviewed manuscripts on Muslim mental health to understand how researchers have used concept maps or theoretical frameworks to design their empirical research, (b) prepared a comprehensive concept map based on the literature review to determine the central concepts affecting Muslims' approach to the use of mental health services, and (c) proposed a contextual theoretical (conceptual) framework. We titled the framework as Muslims' approach to use of mental health services based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Theory of Reasoned Action (TPB/TRA) in the context of a Social Ecological Model (SEM). We drew the framework based on TPB/TRA, SEM, and the review of Muslim mental health literature (the concept map). The concept map and the framework provide the most important constructs about challenges Muslim's face when attempting to utilize mental health services. Future researchers can use the concept map and the framework to conduct theoretically and evidence-based grounded empirical research.
