“…This finding extends the existing evidence [ 26 ] that religion has a positive relationship with people mental health in a new population. The finding of this conforms with the findings of Onyishi et al [ 22 ] and Saffari, [ 62 ] which revealed that a strong relationship exists between religiosity and diabetes management and that religious coping techniques could positively affect the management of diabetes.…”

“…The study indicated that religious coping contributes to mitigating the adverse effects of psychological problems that emanate from T2DM. Also, a narrative-integrative review was conducted by Onyishi et al, [ 22 ] on the potential influence of religiosity and religious coping strategies on patients with diabetes. The study findings established a positive relationship between religiosity and the management of diabetes, and the use of religious coping strategies could positively affect the management of diabetes.…”

“…Although Kahrizel et al, [ 27 ] conducted a quasi-experimental study to investigate the spiritual-religious intervention on anxiety, depression and adjustment to parental divorce among female school children; the study was not a randomized trial and was not focused on adult learners’ mental health with T2DM. In addition, only the Onyishi et al [ 22 ] study was conducted in Nigeria using a narrative-integrative review. Hence, there is a knowledge gap concerning the efficacy of religious coping interventions on adult learners with T2DM.…”

Background: Some previous studies have highlighted the high rate of mental health problems associated with type II diabetes (T2DM). The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a religious coping intervention of rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on the mental health of adult learners with T2DM. Methods: This study utilized a randomized controlled trial to select 146 adult learners with T2DM and mental health-related problems. The treatment group was made up of 73 adult learners, while the control group was also made up of 73 adult learners. The experimental group received 8 sessions of a religious coping intervention of REBT, while the control group received usual care. Data were collected using the patient health questionnaire, Warwick–Edinburgh mental well-being scale, and Kessler psychological distress scale. Repeated ANOVA and univariate analysis of covariance were used for data analyses. Results: The religious coping intervention of REBT substantially enhanced the mental health of adult learners with T2DM as measured by Warwick–Edinburgh mental well-being scale (P < .000) and patient health questionnaire (P < .000). The religious coping intervention of REBT significantly alleviated the psychological distress of adult learners with T2DM as measured by Kessler psychological distress scale (P < .000). Conclusion: In this study, it has been demonstrated that a religious coping intervention of REBT effectively improves the mental health of adult learners with T2DM. The study concludes that the religious coping intervention of REBT is a practical alternative medicine approach to enhancing the mental health of adult learners with T2DM.

“…Also, religious educators and religious counselors working in the university environment may collaborate to further investigate the usefulness of RREBT in helping university undergraduate students to cope with other mental health problems like suicidal ideation and posttraumatic stress disorder. When developing school-based mental health interventions, students’ religious orientations should be taken into account [ 27 ] and their religious traditions should be incorporated into such intervention process to address their peculiar mental health needs.…”

Background: This research was designed to investigate the management of depression among undergraduate religious education students and identify the research implications for school-based religious intervention. Methods: This research is a randomized controlled trial. The treatment condition had 34 undergraduate religious education students but 33 undergraduate religious education students were in the control condition. The treatment process involved a 12-week application of religious rational emotive behavior therapy (RREBT). With Beck’s depression inventory, version 2 (BDI-II), data collection was made possible. Results: Compared to students in the control condition, undergraduate religious education students in the treatment condition demonstrated a significant drop in mean BDI-II scores at post-test ( F [1, 65] = 592.043, P < .05, η 2 p = .90). The effect of RREBT among students in the treatment condition stayed consistent at 2 weeks follow-up ( F [1, 65] = 786.396, P < .05, η 2 p = .92, Δ R 2 = .922). Conclusion: The effect of RREBT on depression treatment among undergraduate religious education students was positive and can be consistent. The study results underscore the importance of expanding this treatment approach for these undergraduate education students in Nigeria.

“…[42] Furthermore, exposure to a therapy that considers spiritual dimensions can enhance the health and wellbeing of participants. [43] As spiritual dimensions are considered vital to people's health, [42][43][44] it is therefore important for future interventions to consider how spirituality and religious constructs of pre-service teachers might promote the rate of improvements among them. Overall, psychological coaches can achieve significant results in stress assessments among pre-service history teachers using this stress management coaching approach.…”

Background: Studies have found that pre-service teachers commonly face stressful circumstances that prevent them from completing their academic tasks effectively. In terms of psychological factors and interventions, pre-service history teachers in Nigeria are the least studied group. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of stress management coaching among Nigerian pre-service history teachers.Methods: The research participants consisted of a randomized sample of 109 pre-service history teachers from Nigerian public higher education institutions (55 pre-service history teachers composed the stress management coaching group while 54 pre-service history teachers composed the waitlist control group). The stress management coaching for the pre-service history teachers was guided by a coaching manual created using the theoretical framework of rational emotive behavior coaching.Results: Pre-service history teachers who participated in stress management coaching showed significantly reduced stress levels at the post-test and follow-up. There was an interaction effect between group and time on the stress of pre-service history teachers. Conclusion:The study suggests that pre-service history teachers can benefit from a stress management coaching intervention that uses the rational emotive behavior coaching approach. The development of this form of stress management coaching program on a large scale among pre-service history teachers could prove beneficial to their academic and personal success. Studies may be conducted in the future to examine the stress of history teachers in colleges and the efficacy of stress management coaching.
