“…A review of the literature revealed that limited studies have been conducted on hope among thalassemia ( 13 ), and hemodialysis patients ( 18 ) and students ( 14 ). Additionally, only a few studies have investigated perceived social support among patients with chronic diseases, such as chronic renal failure ( 6 , 19 ).…”

Background Thalassemia is a prevalent chronic blood disorder, which is accompanied with a wide range of challenges. This study aimed to determine the predictor role of perceived social support and spiritual intelligence in hope among thalassemia patients. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 300 thalassemia patients. The data were collected using Miller hope scale, spiritual intelligence scale, and personal resource questionnaire. The data were analysed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. Results The results indicated that the mean score of hope was 173.38 (standard deviation [SD] = 24.6). Besides, 86.7% of the patients showed high levels of hope. The mean score of spiritual intelligence was 134.66 (SD = 18.07). In addition, 91.7% of the patients showed moderate levels of spiritual intelligence. The mean score of social support was 127.87 (SD = 20.19) and the patients showed high social support levels. The results revealed a significant association between hope and perceived social support ( r = 0.65, P < 0.001) as well as between hope and spiritual intelligence ( r = 0.63, P < 0.001). Moreover, perceived social support ( b = 0.43, P < 0.001) and spiritual intelligence ( b = 0.37, P < 0.001) were the predictors of hope among thalassemia patients. Conclusion Considering the study results, in addition to common treatments for thalassemia, policymakers’ are recommended to pay attention to spiritual intelligence and more importantly social support to enhance thalassemia patients’ hope.

“…In a study by Pasiar et al the results showed a positive effect of peer education on the hope of patients undergoing hemodialysis. 23 Also, Dant et al in their study stated that peer education can improve the quality of life of diabetic patients. 24 According to what was mentioned above, the main hypothesis of the current study was that peer education is effective on the hope of TM patients.…”

“…24 According to what was mentioned above, the main hypothesis of the current study was that peer education is effective on the hope of TM patients. Considering that thalassemia patients due to various reasons suffer from psychological diseases, only a few studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of educational interventions on the level of hope in these patients 23 . Also, due to the discrepancy in the results of studies such as the results reported by Molazem et al which showed that peer group education had no effect on depression in patients undergoing coronary angiography, 21 the aim of this study was to determine the effects of a peer education program on the hope of TM patients.…”

Objective: Thalassemia major (TM) is one of the most common chronic genetic disorders in today’s world. The psychological impacts of this disease can affect patients’ hopes. Considering the positive role and importance of suitable educational methods, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of peer education on the hope of patients with TM. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental single-group study performed on 50 patients with TM undergoing treatment in Zabol in 2020. Patients were recruited by the continuous sampling method. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and the Snyder’s Hope Scale. Patients were educated in groups by eligible peers in 2 sessions each for 60 minutes. Hope was measured before and one month after the educational sessions. Data was analyzed by SPSS software version 20. Results: The mean age of the participants was 24.5 (4.24) years. At the pretest, the mean score of total hope was 26.72 ± 5.82, which increased to 28.21 ± 5.11 at the posttest (P = 0.028). The mean hope score of patients in the pathway thinking dimension (P = 0.01), significantly increased after peer education. Despite an increase in the score of the agency thinking dimension, this was not statistically significant (P = 0.297). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that peer education can improve hope in patients with TM. So, considering that this educational method is easy, cheap, and experienced-based, it can be used in combination with other health care measures to improve TM patients’ hope.

“…As well, improving connection with God among patients from faith-based groups enhances behavioral adaptation required for health management, intensifies courage, optimism, self-control, reduces fear, anxiety, sorrow, and despair (Asadzandi 2017(Asadzandi , 2020Rambod et al 2019). If social, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing has correlations with coping during ill-being (Pasyar et al 2020;Sohail et al 2020), then it is a worthwhile and important to include religiosity as complementary therapeutic approaches.…”

Respect for Religiosity: Review of Faith Integration in Health and Wellbeing Interventions with Muslim Minorities

et al. 2021

Integration of religion in community health and wellbeing interventions is important for achieving a good life among faith-based populations. In countries hosting Muslim-minorities, however, relatively little is reported in academic literature on processes of faith integration in the development and delivery of interventions. We undertook a review of peer reviewed literature on health and wellbeing interventions with Muslim-minorities, with specific interest on how Islamic principles were incorporated. Major databases were systematically searched and PRISMA guidelines applied in the selection of eligible studies. Twenty-one journal articles met the inclusion criteria. These were coded and analyzed thematically. Study characteristics and themes of religiosity are reported in this review, including the religious tailoring of interventions, content co-creation and delivery design based on the teachings from the Quran and Sunnah, and applicability of intervention structures. We reviewed the philosophical and structural elements echoing the Quran and Islamic principles in the intervention content reported. However, most studies identified that the needs of Muslim communities were often overlooked or compromised. This may be due to levels of religio-cultural knowledge of persons facilitating community health and wellbeing interventions. Our review emphasizes the importance of intellectual apparatus when working in diverse communities, effective communication-strategies, and community consultations when designing interventions with Muslim-minority communities.
