“…Future research efforts must also be directed toward women and recent cohorts of returning Veterans from Iraq or Afghanistan to synthesize research with all eras of Veterans for patterns of similar reactions. Nevertheless, similar mantram stories describing the effect of calming and letting go of negative feelings have been found in other studies conducted in Veterans without PTSD [18], in adults living with human immunodeficiency virus [19], in family caregivers of Veterans with dementia [34], and in healthcare workers [35][36].…”

Abstract-This study describes ways in which a MantramRepetition Program (MRP) was used for managing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in 65 outpatient Veterans with PTSD. The MRP consisted of six weekly group sessions (90 min/wk) on how to (1) choose and use a mantram, (2) slow down thoughts and behaviors, and (3) develop onepointed attention for emotional self-regulation. Critical incident research technique interviews were conducted at 3 mo postintervention as part of a larger randomized clinical trial. The setting was an academic-affiliated Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in southern California. Categorization and comparison of the types and frequency of incidents (i.e., triggering events) were collected. Participants reported a total of 268 triggering events. Content analysis of the outcomes resulted in 12 discreet categories, including relaxing and calming down, letting go of negative feelings, thinking clearly and rationally, diverting attention away from triggering events, focusing attention, refining mantram skills, dealing with sleep disturbances, coming back from flashbacks, slowing down, communicating thoughts and feelings more effectively, feeling in touch spiritually, and letting go of physical pain. The study shows that the MRP was helpful in managing a wide range of emotional reactions in Veterans with PTSD.

“…This finding is in line with findings by Graham et al (2001), Stanley et al (2011) andYong et al (2011) that the spiritual element if applied to a career helps to alleviate stress. The study by Yong et al (2011) shows that after a spiritual program given to nurses in Korea, stress was reduced and spiritual well-being and leadership value increased. Similarly, the study by Hsiao et al (2010) finds that the spiritual health of students can be a mechanism for nursing students to manage their stress, to reduce depressive symptoms and to enhance health-promoting behaviours.…”

Work-related stress is an imbalance between work-related demand and individual capacity. If not appropriately handled, it may adversely affect individual emotions. Work-related stress is also experienced by academicians in institutions of higher learning due to various aspects. Various measures have been taken by academicians to overcome stress so that it will not adversely affect academic excellence and scholarship. Hence, the aim of this research is to identify the perceptions of academicians regarding their career and to examine the role of the spiritual aspect in managing stress experienced by them. This research is designed as a survey study. 37 out of 108 academicians at the Faculty of Islamic Studies, National University of Malaysia (Universiti Kebangsan Malaysia) have been randomly selected as study sample. Questionnaires are used as instrument of data collection. The data obtained is analysed using the descriptive statistical technique. Research results find that the respondents' perception of their academic career shows they experience stress due to the burden of heavy workload leading to emotional and physical fatigue, and also whenever they receive new assignments. This research also finds that a spiritual approach may play a role in alleviating stress among academicians.
