Abstract: (398 Views)
Background: According to reported research, spiritual intelligence plays an active role in individuals' mental health, and the effectiveness of students' tolerance threshold and resilience on mental health has also been positively reported. In the predominant culture of Iranian universities, there are no indigenous patterns and logic to explain the effective factors on mental health, thus the need for creating a suitable indigenous model in this area is essential.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to propose a model for elucidating the mediating role of resilience in the relationship between spiritual intelligence and mental health among students of Tehran's Azad University.
Methods: This study was descriptive and of correlational and structural equations type. The statistical population of the study included all students studying at Islamic Azad Universities in Tehran during the academic year 2022-2023. A multi-stage cluster random sampling method was used to select the sample, and a total of 685 individuals responded to the mental health (Goldberg, 1972), spiritual intelligence (King, 2008), and resilience (Connor & Davidson, 2003) questionnaires. Correlation analyses were conducted using SPSS software, and structural equation modeling analyses were performed using AMOS software.
Results: Statistical analysis of the data showed that spiritual intelligence has a direct, positive, and significant impact on mental health (p< 0.05). Additionally, spiritual intelligence indirectly predicts students' mental health through the mediating role of resilience (p< 0.05).
Conclusion: Given that spiritual intelligence is a trainable attribute, it is recommended that executives and stakeholders plan to enhance this attribute among students, thereby taking steps towards improving individuals' mental health. Therefore, it is necessary to create conditions for students to engage in discussions on life theories, death, and existence, pay more attention to non-material aspects (spirituality), and find meaning and purpose for their daily experiences.
