“…Furthermore, this article assessed the relationship among mental disorder awareness and religious interest where religion is frequently disregarded in prior studies Additionally, there were not any available study regarding correlation of religion and stigma toward mental ill patients. Eventually, provided the religious raising occurrence and huge figures of people with instability issues within the population ( Shen et al., 2006 ; Abuhammad et al., 2020 ). These outcomes support specifying a possible corroborating of people following religion on regular basis and organizations may influence within the prerequisite of population-based mental illness assistance.…”

There is a dearth of research that investigates the relationship between religiosity and stigma of mental illnesses by the context of Jordanian culture. So, this study aimed to describe the relationship between religiosity and stigma against mental illnesses as described by undergraduate university students in Jordan. This study design was descriptive correlations study among 338 University Students, undergraduate students in Jordan. The findings indicate there is a significant correlation (r = - 0.154, p < 0.05) between stigma toward patient with mental illnesses and religiosity. The higher religiosity score is associated with more negativity toward stigma of patient with mental illnesses. Also, the findings indicated there was a significant difference between medical and non-medical student's specialty area and stigma toward patients with mental illnesses (t = 111.14, p = 0.01). Non-medical students reported more stigma for patients with mental illnesses. Stigma against patient with mental illnesses should be addressed at different levels. Cultural competency curriculum should be established for medical and non-medical students to assure more acceptance attitudes and avoidance of stigma against patients with mental illnesses.

Advanced biotechnology should be paralleled with advancing ethics to address its implications. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, ethics of research and advanced biotechnology is not well-developed among scientists. There is also a lack of religious scholars’ knowledge about advancing technology to make 'fatwa' (religious edict in Islam) to the public regarding the use of such biotechnology. The purpose of this study was to investigate the perception of scientists and religious scholars in Iraq regarding the ethics and religious perspectives of different biotechnology experiments. A convenient non-probability sampling cross-sectional study was carried out in Iraq to figure out the Islamic and scientific scholar's views on technological advances in science including stem cell research, cloning, genetically modified crops, human gene editing, smartphone technology for health services and other advances in biotechnology research. A sample size of 125 science and 34 Islamic scholars were recruited from universities. Face to face interviews was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics include the use of frequencies, and means, to present the results. Among 159 science and Islamic scholars only (18.2%) think religion can help using such technology by giving guidance and advice. A majority (52.8%) think unexpected and unknown results are the most important ethical questions in such research. Participants heard the most about vegetable genetic modification biotechnology (80.5%) while only (31.4%) heard about mosquito gene modification. The risk of environmental corruption was the most important ethical challenge among scholars (42.6%). More than one-third (35.8%) of participants believed that faith and religious belief have an impact on such biotechnologies but they also said no specialized individual is dealing with such research. Furthermore, (41.5%) of them think it is important for the public to know about ethical matters related to biotechnology research to protect their health and future. There are misconceptions and a lack of information about the ethical issues concerning advanced biotechnology experiments among science researchers and Islamic scholars. However, there was awareness of ethical challenges related to some of these technologies.

“…Globally, religiosity is considered a dimension of every individual's life ( Abuhammad et al, 2020a , Abuhammad et al, 2020b ) including children and people with mental illnesses. Religiosity can be described as the degree of individual commitment and the attitudes and behaviours that show respect of higher nonhuman power ( Ketola and Stein, 2013 ).…”

Aim Mental health disorders in many countries are regarded as taboo and are often concealed. This study aimed to (a) explore students in secondary school' stigma perceptions of mental disorder; (b) examine whether there is a connection between religiosity and stigma toward people with mental illnesses; and (c) identify stigma correlates for stigma perceptions toward people with mental illnesses based on the religiosity and demographic features of the students. Method A cross-sectional correlational study was undertaken among 357 students from two high schools. The participants completed a structured research instrument that consisted of (1) a sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, (2) a religiosity questionnaire and (3) a devaluation-discrimination scale. Results The regression model was able to forecast a moderate percentage of stigma perception variance (F = 4.74, p = .01). Gender was the only important correlate in the model at p = .05. Conclusion and implications This study found that among students in secondary school in Jordan there is an association between religiosity and stigma toward mental disorders. This result implies that there is a need to increase policy maker information about the importance of applying religious principles to decrease stigma and enhance a positive non-stigmatizing attitude toward mental disorders. Moreover, improving the curriculum content concerning the problems associated with mental ill health may allow students to gain a more precise understanding of mental disorders more generally.
