“…We found no published qualitatively designed studies examining the relationship between international students' religion/spirituality and acculturative stress in the United States. However, scholars have argued that qualitative study would lead to a deeper understanding of the broad range of characteristics and dynamics of religious/spiritual coping processes (Tongeren et al, ; Xu, ). Qualitative inquiry supports understanding of a larger reality by examining it holistically within its contextual setting (Hays & Singh, ; Heppner, Wampold, & Kivlighan, ) and can, therefore, yield a more thorough understanding of the use of religion/spirituality in managing acculturative stress.…”

The authors conducted a qualitative study using phenomenological inquiry to explore the nature and essence of international students' experience of utilizing religion/spirituality to cope with acculturative stress. Twelve students from 2 public universities and diverse religious/spiritual traditions participated. Results suggest that religion/spirituality plays a central role in the heightening of psychological, cognitive, and social functioning and affects students' performance in the academic environment. Implications for student affairs personnel, counselors, counselor educators, and supervisors are provided.

The completeness of a program in the education unit (in this case secondary school) will end with the holding of an evaluation of learning outcomes or exams, which are school exams and national exams, students will increase their learning activities in preparation for being able to take exams and try to produce satisfying achievements. This study aims to explain students' experiences in practicing self-regulated learning (SRL), which includes students' readiness in an active, constructive process, able to set learning goals, monitor, regulate, and control cognition, motivation, and behavior. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods in the form of a focused group discussion (FGD) and essay writing on seven main informant students, plus interviews with seven supporting informants (subject friends). The informants in this study are students of class XII who have taken the school exams and national exams. The results of this study explain that the experience of SRL in students, in behavior, motivation, and cognitive (learning strategies), still requires an increase in the problem of time management, planning, and targets. Internally, the suitability of SRL is motivated by habits, motivation, and goals, while externally influenced by culture, parenting, and the environment. SRL is a managerial skill in learning because it regulates learning resources so that they can be taught or trained as early as possible to optimize academic skills and academic adjustment of students in the future.

“…Negative religious coping, or religious struggle, is consistently associated with indicators of poor functioning such as depression and anxiety (Pargament et al 2011). These constructs-positive and negative religious coping-may have important implications for the remediation and prevention of mental health problems in the wake of stressful life events (Pargament et al 2000;Xu 2016).…”

Positive religious coping has frequently been associated with better mental health outcomes when dealing with stressful life events (e.g., natural disasters, domestic abuse, divorce). The COVID-19 pandemic, and the associated infection prevention and control measures (curfew, quarantine, restricted travel, social distancing), represent a society-wide stressor. This study explored positive religious coping among the Muslim and Christian residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) during the early stages of the national response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants (N = 543) completed an online survey assessing religious coping in response to the pandemic, along with symptom measures of depression, anxiety and history of psychological disorder. Muslims (N = 339) reported significantly higher levels of positive religious coping compared to their Christian counterparts (N = 204). Across the whole sample, positive religious coping was inversely related to having a history of psychological disorders. Among the Muslim cohort, positive religious coping was inversely related to depressive symptoms and having a history of psychological disorders. Positive religious coping during infectious disease outbreaks may help some individuals reduce their risk of depressive illness. National pandemic preparedness plans may benefit from including a focus on religion and religious coping.
