2026-05-20T02:16:00+00:00

This study investigates the transformative da’wah model through Islamic spiritual guidance in contemporary health services, focusing on patients at Roemani Muhammadiyah Hospital Semarang. The study addresses the critical gap in integrating spiritual care into medical treatment within Islamic health institutions in Indonesia. This qualitative research employs a phenomenological approach within an interpretive research paradigm. Data were gathered from twenty (20) patients through semi-structured interviews and participant observation between January 2025 and July 2025. Collected data were analysed thematically using deductive coding to identify recurring patterns related to the da’wah delivery, spiritual intervention, and patientwell-being outcomes. The study found that the transformative Da’wah model comprises four interrelated dimensions: (1) Prophylactic da’wah (preventive spiritual education), (2) Curative da’wah (healing-oriented spiritual intervention), (3) Rehabilitative da’wah (recovery-focused spiritual support), and (4) Promotive da’wah (well-being enhancement). Patients reported significant improvements in psychological resilience, spiritual well-being, and coping capacity when Islamic spiritual guidance was systematically integrated into healthcare delivery. Theoretically and practically, the model extends the scholarship of Islamic guidance and counselling (bimbingan dan konseling Islam) by offering hospital-based rohaniawan and Islamic counsellors a structured, stage-sensitive framework for designing, delivering, and evaluating spiritually integrated patient counselling services.

College students often face various academic, social, and emotional challenges that can affect their psychological well-being. Students living in a Ma’had environment face additional demands, including academic responsibilities, dormitory regulations, and social adjustment processes, which underscore the importance of self-compassion as a psychological protective factor. This study aimed to examine the relationships among resilience, self-disclosure, self-esteem, and self-compassion in college students. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational survey design was employed. Participants consisted of 101 second-semester students enrolled in the Ma’had program, selected through random sampling. Data were collected using Likert-scale instruments measuring resilience, self-disclosure, self-esteem, and self-compassion, and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression in SPSS version 26. The results showed that resilience, self-disclosure, and self-esteem jointly and significantly predicted self-compassion (R = 0.550, p < 0.001), with a coefficient of determination (R² = 0.303) indicating that the predictors accounted for 30.3% of the variance in self-compassion. These findings suggest the need for counseling services that incorporate Reality Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy techniques, integrated with Islamic values such as self-reflection, gratitude, and patience.

Reconceptualizing Islamic Psychospiritual Counseling: A Qalbun-Centered Approach to Mental Health from Al-Ghazālī’s Perspective

2026-05-20T02:14:25+00:00

This study addresses the need for an Islamic psychospiritual counseling model that integrates spiritual, psychological, and moral dimensions based on an Islamic conception of human nature. It aims to reconstruct a psychospiritual counseling model through a Qalbun-Centered approach grounded in the thought of Imam al-Ghazālī. Using qualitative library research, the study examines Al-Ghazālī’s major works, particularly Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din and Kimiyā’ al-Sa‘ādah, alongside relevant scholarly literature. The findings indicate that al-qalb functions as the center of human consciousness, morality, and spirituality, while psychological disturbances may emerge from imbalances among al-qalb, al-nafs, al-‘aql, and al-ruh. Based on these insights, the study proposes a holistic Qalbun-Centered counseling model structured around tazkiyat al-nafs, encompassing takhalli, tahalli, and tajalli to facilitate psychospiritual well-being. The study contributes a conceptually integrated Islamic counseling framework that extends conventional psychological approaches by positioning spiritual purification and the transformation of the qalb as core mechanisms of counseling. The model has implications for the development of culturally and religiously responsive counseling practices, as well as for future empirical research on Islamic psychospiritual interventions.

A Psychometric Investigation of Assertiveness in Female Students with Nice Girl Syndrome: Profiling the Contribution of Big Five Personality and Self-Esteem

Nice girl syndrome poses a challenge to female students’ social lives, and assertiveness plays a key role in minimizing its effects. This study aims to examine the influence of the Big Five personality traits and self-esteem on the assertiveness of students with nice girl syndrome, using an associative, cross-sectional approach. A total of 148 female 10th-grade students at SMA Negeri 10 Padang who exhibited an extreme level of nice girl syndrome were selected through purposive sampling. Research instruments included the Engel Nice Girl Syndrome instrument, an assertiveness scale developed by the research team, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the adapted Big Five Inventory. All instruments have demonstrated acceptable psychometric characteristics, with factor loadings ranging from 0.277 to 0.809 and Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from 0.70 to 0.875. Findings showed that two dimensions of the Big Five personality traits have a significant effect on the assertiveness of students with nice girl syndrome, namely conscientiousness and openness, with p-values of 0.033 and 0.023, respectively. Self-esteem showed the strongest and most significant effect on the assertiveness of these students, with a p-value of 0.002. Simultaneous testing of the Big Five personality traits and self-esteem on the assertiveness of nice girl syndrome students also revealed a significant influence with a p-value of 0.000 <0.05. The coefficient of determination indicated that these variables jointly predicted 26.8% of the variance in assertiveness among students with nice girl syndrome. These findings can serve as a basis for developing school-based counselling interventions that address personality characteristics and self-esteem as key factors in enhancing assertiveness among students with nice girl syndrome.
