“…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.…”

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.

“…Faith, religiosity and spirituality (F-R-S) play a significant role in the perception, prevention and treatment of disease (Stanley et al 2011). Collectively, they have indirect effects by influencing people's understanding of the nature and etiology of disease; by favoring or prohibiting particular methods of disease management; by influencing utilization of healthcare resources; by affecting patient compliance and satisfaction; and by supporting or impairing recovery (Borras et al 2007;Grossoehme et al 2008;Kemppainen et al 2008;Koenig 2007;Kremer et al 2009;Lyon et al 2011;Mellins et al 2009;Parsons et al 2006;Stewart and Yuen 2011).…”

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of attending a faith-based education program (FBEP) on self-assessed physical, mental and spiritual health parameters. The study was designed as a prospective, observational, cohort study of individuals attending a 5-day FBEP. Out of 2650 sequential online registrants, those previously unexposed to the FBEP received automated invitations to complete 5 sequential Self-Assessment Questionnaire's (SAQ's) containing: (1) Duke University Religion Index (DUREL); (2) Negative Religious Coping (N-RCOPE); (3) Perceived Stress Scale (PSS); (4) Center for Epidemiology and Statistics-Depression Scale (CES-D); (5) Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ); and the (6) State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Pre-attendance SAQ (S1) was repeated immediately post-FBEP (S2), at 30 days (S3), 90 days (S4) and after 1 year (S5). Of 655 invited, 274 (42 %) succeeded, 242 (37 %) failed and 139 (21 %) declined to complete S1. Of the 274, 37 (14 %) were excluded at on-site interview; 26 (9 %) never attended the FBEP (i.e., controls: 5♂; 21♀; 27-76 years); and 211 (77 %) participated (i.e., cases: 105♂; 106♀; 18-84 years) and were analyzed over time: 211 (S1); 192 (S2); 99 (S3); 52 (S4); 51 (S5). IRB approval was via the Human Research Ethics Committee of Stellenbosch University. DUREL showed significant, sustained changes in Intrinsic Religiosity. N-RCOPE showed significant, lasting improvement. In others, median values dropped significantly immediately after the FBEP (S1:S2) for STAI-State p < 0.0001; PSS p < 0.0001; BIPQ p < 0.0001; and CES-D p < 0.0001; and at 1 month (S1:S3) for STAI-Trait p < 0.001; all changes were sustained (S3 through S5). This FBEP produced statistically and clinically significant changes; these lasted in those followed up >1 year.

“…African Americans and devout Evangelicals were particularly likely to voice these concerns. Other surveys of individuals in the United States dealing with physical and emotional problems lead to the same conclusion -a majority of people would like to see religion and spirituality integrated into their treatment in a sensitive and respectful fashion (e.g., Lindgren and Coursey, 1995;Stanley et al, 2011). In spite of this expressed desire, religion is not often addressed in health care.…”
