This paper has been designed to examine the role of satisfaction towards discipline, spiritual orientation, and commitment to be professional in student performance at the tertiary level in the Punjab province. Social work has become an essential component of higher education globally, especially with the rise of globalization and internationalization. The study has been based on a quantitative approach. It uses the data from a sample of 347 social work discipline students from public sector universities through a proportionate random sampling technique. It is important to mention that the students have been enrolled in the BS (4 Years) program. A cross-sectional survey was conducted, and a structured questionnaire was administered to collect information from social work students. It was pretested from 30 randomly selected students, and reliability was confirmed. It used three independent, two paths, one dependent, and one intervening variable. In the same way, the study found that satisfaction towards discipline, spiritual orientation, and commitment to be professional indirectly affect social work student performance through the mediation of practice learning and supervision of academic activity.

“…There are two dimensions to spiritual well-being: religious well-being and existential well-being. Religious well-being is related to a person's relationship with God and religion, while existential well-being pertains to an individual's subjective well-being with regard to the meaning and purpose of life and satisfaction with life [ 26 ]. Spiritual sources are perceived as protective agents against diseases and stress.…”

Psoriasis skin disease affects the patients’ health and quality of life to a great extent. Given the chronic nature of the disease, identifying the factors affecting adaptation to the disease can provide guidelines required for helping these patients deal with their problems. This study was conducted with the purpose of investigating the relationship between spiritual well-being and resilience in patients suffering from psoriasis. The present study is a descriptive-analytical work conducted in the largest city in the south of Iran in 2019. 150 patients diagnosed with psoriasis completed Ellison and Paloutzian’s Spiritual Well-Being Scale and Connor and Davidson’s Resiliency Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS v. 20, descriptive (frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson, regression, and t-test). The significance level was set at 0.05. The obtained mean scores were 54.84 ± 13.25 for resilience and 73.22 ± 11.13 for spiritual health. Spiritual health predicted 43% of the variance of resilience, and all resilience-related factors had a significant positive relationship with spiritual well-being-related factors ( P > 0.05 ). An analysis of the relationship between demographic variables on the one hand and resilience and spiritual well-being on the other indicated that an increase in the patients’ academic status, duration of the disease, and age correlated with an increase in their resilience and spiritual well-being. Also, male patients and married patients were found to possess higher levels of resilience and spiritual well-being. According to the findings of the present study, spiritual well-being correlates with resilience in patients with psoriasis. Considering the chronic nature of the disease, it is recommended that more attention be paid to promoting spiritual health in the care plans of these patients.

“…Spiritual well-being has two dimensions: religious and existential well-being. Religious well-being is one's relationship with God and religion, while existential well-being is related to one's mental well-being regarding the meaning and purpose of life, as well as life satisfaction [17]. Although there is no research examining the predictive role of spiritual well-being in the health anxiety of patients with CAD, several studies have examined the role of spiritual well-being in the context of life-threatening illnesses.…”

Background and Objectives: Health anxiety is one of the most common problems in patients with coronary artery disease. The present study tested whether health anxiety severity could be predicted by spiritual well-being and hope in patients with advanced coronary artery disease. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 100 patients with advanced coronary artery disease were recruited from hospitals and healthcare centers in Iran. Patients completed self-report scales, including the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Adult Hope Scale, and Short Health Anxiety Inventory. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to empirically explore the relations among variables. Results: Results indicated that patients who reported higher levels of hope (β = 0.42, p < 0.01) and spiritual well-being (β = 0.20, p < 0.05) reported lower levels of health anxiety. Agency (β = 0.58, p < 0.01) scores were a significant negative predictor of health anxiety severity. Additionally, religious spirituality scores (β = 0.28, p < 0.01) were shown to significantly negatively predict health anxiety level. However, the pathways components of hope and existential spirituality were not significant predictors. Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicate that spiritual well-being and hope could be important factors in determining health anxiety for adults with coronary artery disease, and their role is worthy of further exploration to help improve health anxiety for patients with coronary artery disease.
