“…The mean score was 90.21 ( SD = 17.80) for the SWBS, 48.85 ( SD = 7.17) for the EWBS, and 41.36 ( SD = 14.79) for the RWBS. Examples of items from the EWBS include “I believe there is some real purpose for my life” and “I feel a sense of well‐being about the direction my life is headed in.” Examples of items from the RWBS include “I don't have a personally satisfying relationship with God” and “My relation with God contributes to my sense of well‐being.” Previous research yielded internal consistency coefficients ranging from .89 to .94 for the overall instrument, .82 to .94 for the RWBS, and .78 to .86 for the EWBS (Fee & Ingram, ; Paloutzian & Ellison, ; Ramirez, Lumadue, & Wooten, ). For this study, internal consistency was .91 for the overall instrument, .97 for the RWBS, and .86 for the EWBS.…”

This study explored the link between counseling students' spiritual well-being and sense of calling to the profession. A final sample of 415 counseling students demonstrated significant spiritual well-being (religious and existential) and a strong sense of calling to the counseling profession. Results also indicated that spiritual well-being was predictive of students' sense of calling to the profession. Implications for counselor training are discussed.

“…Researchers at Loyola University Chicago surveyed undergraduate resident students about their views on current controversial topics in the Catholic church with homosexuality being the special focus of their work (Maher et al 2008). Another study at Biola University, a conservative Christian university in California, examined in part how much both undergraduate and graduate students knew about the Holy Spirit (Fee and Ingram 2004). Barbara Walvoord, in her extensive and highly informative study of introductory college religion courses, focused largely on teaching methodology and the development of critical thinking skills rather than on content related directly to Catholic teaching and values espoused by the Jesuit educational system (2008).…”

A growing interest in the communication to students of the mission and identity of a higher education institution prompted this study about the presence of Catholic, Jesuit values in the introductory religious studies course at a faith‐based university. To conduct this study a survey instrument was developed, piloted, further refined, and then administered again to about four hundred and fifty students. The study's results showed that the introductory course had a positive effect on the majority of students surveyed, namely, those who had no Catholic schooling or only had a Catholic elementary school education. Statistically significant advances in several areas of knowledge about Catholic teachings endorsed by Catholic bishops and the pope occurred. Although less extensive, knowledge of Jesuit values also advanced in the course.

“…Religious beliefs encompass an important aspect of human activity in the context of respect for one’s life and health [ 1 , 2 ]. To date, the exploration of the concept of religiosity in the context of health has covered many religious groups, and such analyses have been undertaken by representatives of various disciplines and medical specialities [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

Religiosity is considered as one of the many factors shaping an individual’s health consciousness. The aim of the study is an analysis of the correlation between the religiosity of Jehovah’s Witnesses and their attitudes towards health and disease. A cross-sectional study was performed on the convenience sample of 171 Jehovah’s Witnesses from eastern Poland with the use of two research tools: the author’s questionnaire, focusing on attitudes towards health, disease, death and the use of stimulants, and the Duke University Religion Index (DUREL). The research involved 99 females (57.9%) and 72 males (42.1%), with an average age of 37.25 (SD = 12.59) years. On average, they have been a Jehovah’s Witness for 29.21 (SD = 13.22) years and are characterised by a high ratio of organisational religious activity (ORA) (M = 5.60; SD = 0.62) and intrinsic religiosity (IR) (M = 4.81; SD = 0.37). Those who had never smoked before becoming one of Jehovah’s Witnesses had a higher IR (Z = −2.822; p = 0.005), similarly to those respondents who smoked cigarettes before they became Jehovah’s Witnesses (Z = −2.977; p = 0.003) and those who did not abuse alcohol before they became Jehovah’s Witnesses (Z= −1.974; p = 0.048). Jehovah’s Witnesses are a group characterised by a high degree of consistency when it comes to religiosity, attitudes regarding health and disease and health behaviours. This means that they follow the teachings of their religion with regard to health issues. Knowledge about the association between religiosity and health behaviours is important to provide effective health education, health promotion and development of health prevention policy, specifically when dealing with more religious groups of clients.
