“…Positive psychological interventions enhance coping ability by eliciting positive emotions. Positive emotions can form new meanings to protect individuals from psychological issues and expand psychological well-being and happiness (Mohammadi et al, 2018). The new meaning allows the construction of thinking plans and individual behavior when one is tested with difficulties.…”

Abstract. University students are vulnerable to psychological problems, including Muslim university students. One of the reasons is the low resilience level. Therefore, an intervention is needed to develop the resilience of Muslim students so that it is expected to face difficulties and at the same time encourage self-development to protect students from psychological problems. The intervention will be better if it is adjusted to the values held by students, one of which is religious values. However, psychological interventions based on religious values to increase student resilience have not been developed much. This study aims to examine the effect of Islamic-based positive psychology online training on the improvement of university students’ resilience. The training modules were prepared based on the positive psychology intervention techniques and integrated with Islamic values. The training consists of six sessions and was delivered via Zoom meeting. This study employed a quasi-experiment with a one-group design pretest-posttest. The target participants of this study were Muslims students of the Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta. Participants who took part in this study received information that was announced through several social media. The study participants were 10 Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta students. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) was used to measure the resilience in Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta’s students. The data were analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA and the results showed the scores of p = 0.005 (p 0.05). This result showed that online positive psychological training with Islamic values improves the university students’ resilience. Online positive psychology training based on Islamic can be used for promotive programs to improve Muslim students' mental health in Indonesia.Keywords: Islamic values; online training; positive psychology; resilience; university students

“…Thus, it would be valuable to improve psychological wellbeing by focusing more on increasing resilience. [46][47][48] This would allow more room for interventions that help infertile women cope better with their condition and have a better chance at becoming pregnant by lowering their psychological distress.…”

Infertility can lead to significant psychological distress among women, yet the roles of hope and resilience in mitigating depressive symptoms remain inadequately explored, particularly within the Chinese context. We performed a cross-sectional observational study to investigate the psychological impacts of infertility among Chinese women as well as to discern whether hope and resilience can influence their depressive symptoms. We recruited 364 Chinese women seeking infertility treatment in the Shandong region. Participants completed validated assessments including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale, and Herth Hope Index. Demographic and clinical data were also collected. We observed elevated levels of depressive symptoms and anxiety among women with infertility. Particularly, demographic factors such as an older age, rural residence, lower income, lower education, adverse life events, and longer infertility duration were associated with increased depressive symptoms. Individuals who experienced adverse life events were at a 2.42-fold increased risk of developing depressive symptoms (P = .04). Depressive symptoms were inversely correlated with both hope levels (r = ‐0.25; P < .05) and resilience levels (r = ‐0.32; P < .05). Hope levels were positively correlated with resilience (R = 0.67; P < .05). After controlling for the interaction of hope and resilience, we found that only depressive symptoms and resilience were negatively correlated. The psychological burden of infertility among Chinese women is widespread and affects many individuals from different demographic backgrounds. Interventions aimed at increasing resilience may be helpful to mitigate depressive symptoms.

“…The stigma scale subscale and total mean score of the women in the experimental group after PPT-based training decreased in the posttest compared to the pretest. In their study, Mohammadi et al reported that a 10-session PPT practice was effective on mental endurance, self-compassion, and resistance in Iranian infertile women (Keshavarz-Mohammadi et al, 2018). Ghasemi et al (2017) determined in their study that problem-solving skill training was effective in increasing coping strategies of women receiving intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment.…”

Background: Infertility has increased in recent years. Infertility can cause many mental problems. The place of psychoeducation based on positive psychotherapy (PPT) is important in coping with mental problems. Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of PPT-based training on stigma and self-efficacy in women receiving infertility treatment. Methods: This experimental study with randomized control group was completed with 64 women receiving infertility treatment. While the women in the experimental group received an 8-session PPT-based training, no intervention was applied to those in the control group. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed ( p= .001) between the stigma and self-efficacy levels of the experimental group after the PPT-based training. Conclusions: It was found that the PPT-based training was effective in decreasing stigma level of the women who received infertility treatment and increasing their self-efficacy level.
