Spirituality and Mental Health: Relationship between Spiritual Engagement and Psychological Well-being

Author(s) Dr. Sunaina Kaur Maan
Country India
Abstract This study explores the relationship between spirituality and mental health, examining how varying levels of spirituality influence mental health outcomes. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from a sample of 263 participants using a self-reported questionnaire designed to assess spirituality and mental health. The reliability of the scale was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha, which indicated low internal consistency (α = 0.0181), suggesting the need for refinement in measurement. Validity was assessed through factor analysis using the ‘minimum residual’ extraction method combined with ‘oblimin’ rotation, revealing distinct factor loadings for spirituality and mental health constructs. Regression analysis demonstrated that moderate spirituality was significantly associated with lower mental health scores compared to non-spiritual individuals (β = -0.57, p = 0.001), whereas other levels of spirituality did not show significant differences. The model explained approximately 5.5% of the variance in mental health (R² = 0.0548). These findings highlight the complex and non-linear relationship between spirituality and mental health, emphasizing the importance of considering spirituality in mental health assessments and interventions. The study underscores the need for improved measurement tools to accurately capture the multidimensional nature of spirituality.
