“…Therefore, spiritual needs and attitudes are considered to be the most inevitable and transcendental needs of humans.

Background: Spiritual well-being is crucial in human health and reduces anxiety and depression. Therefore, identifying its underlying variables can improve individuals’ health. Objectives: This study aimed to predict a model of spiritual well-being based on belief in a just world mediated by positive and negative effects in university students of Tehran. Methods: This was a descriptive correlation study performed through path analysis. The statistical population consisted of students studying at different universities of Tehran during 2020 - 2021. The research sample comprised 301 university students (199 female and 102 male). The participants completed the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Belief in a Just World Scale, and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). The model was evaluated using path analysis in AMOS 24.0. Results: The results showed that the path coefficient between positive affect and spiritual well-being was positive and significant, and the path coefficient between negative affect and spiritual well-being was negative and significant (P < 0.001). The total path coefficient between the belief in a just world (BJW) and spiritual well-being was positive and significant, and the path coefficient between the belief in an unjust world (BUW) and spiritual well-being was negative and significant (P < 0.001). Furthermore, there was a significant positive indirect path coefficient between BJW and spiritual well-being (P < 0.001). Accordingly, the positive and negative affects played positive mediating roles between BJW and spiritual well-being. Conclusions: Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that BJW, positive effects, and strengthening them can enhance the level of spiritual well-being and reduce the students’ negative effect, anxiety, and depression levels.

“…For example, holy books such as Bhagwat Gita, Tripitaka, Bible, and Al-Quran could be used to help patients overcome the problems/emotions they are experiencing. In addition, behavioral changes for spiritual independence such as getting up early, praying, fasting on behalf of their God, listening to peaceful music and bhajans, meditation, and other spirituality-related activities can help patients improve their mental health (Poudel, 2020).…”

Background: Patients with violent behaviors have the potential to harm themselves, others, and their environment. The management of patients with violent behavior needs to consider various aspects, one of which is patients' spiritual aspect. Combining a spiritual therapy of listening to Qur'an recitation, acupressure, and using a new innovation of a calming bed during the intervention is expected to increase the effect of relaxation and patients' comfort to optimize the intervention outcomes, namely to reduce aggression level in patients with violent behaviors. Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of the combined intervention of listening to Qur'an recitation (murottal), acupressure, and using a calming bed on reducing the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale -Excited Component (PANSS-EC) scores in patients with violent behaviors. Methods: This study used a pre-post test quasi-experimental design without a control group. A total of 50 respondents who agreed to participate in the therapy entirely were randomly recruited. The therapy was given four times with a duration of 30 minutes each. The paired t-test was performed to find out the effect of the intervention. Results: The results showed a significant effect of the intervention on reducing the PANSS-EC score among patients with violent behavior (p=0.000). Conclusion: The combination intervention of listening to Qur'an recitation, acupressure, and use of calming beds can reduce symptoms of violent behaviors by decreasing the PANSS-EC scores. This study suggests using spiritual intervention to help patients with violent behaviors reduce their aggression.
