“…The term “spiritual coping” has been usually used instead of or synonymously with religious coping in the literature. 8 9 10 11 We believe that the term “spiritual coping” is not a correct expression, as spirituality is the high states, blessings, tastes, and happiness. It describes what a person feels in his conscience and soul.…”

The hospitalization of newborn infants causes their parents to suffer stress, depression, feelings of powerlessness, emotions of shock, worry, fear, anguish, anxiety, and loneliness interspersed with those of faith, joy, and hope. Religion may provide a framework for understanding emotional and physical suffering and can facilitate perseverance or acceptance in the face of stressors. Religious coping is a religiously framed cognitive, emotional, or behavioral response to stress that encompasses multiple modalities and goals, as well as positive and negative dimensions. Gaining meaning in life can serve many purposes, including closeness to Allah, hope, peace, connection with others, personal growth, and personal restraint. Spirituality emerges as an “intensification of human experience” from any birth, not just out of ordinary situations. The significant differences in some spiritual issues indicate the need to consider the spirituality of both parents. In this article, we reviewed the role of religious coping in the neonatal intensive care units to attract attention to the importance of religious coping for parents whose infants are hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.

“…Religiosity is an important variable that can affect the level of stress in pregnant women. This research supports the theory of Watterson and Giesler (Radzi et al, 2014) that religious individuals have a higher level of self-control, which enables them to cope better with difficult tasks and life situations, thereby helping to prevent stress, anxiety, and depression. Additionally, high levels of religiosity have the potential to reduce stress through the emotional aspect of feeling the presence of God, as individuals feel they are not alone in facing life's challenges (Alflakseir & Coleman, 2011).…”

Pregnancy can be a stressful time for women as they prepare for the physical and emotional changes that come with childbirth. Religiosity has been found to have a significant impact on stress levels in various populations. This study aims to understand the relationship between religiosity and stress level of pregnant women. It is a quantitative research. The study included 53 Muslim pregnant women participants. Data was taken using the Religiosity Scale and Stress Level Scale. The data was analyzed by product moment analysis correlation. The result of the analysis showed a negative and strong correlation between religiosity and stress levels, with a coefficient correlation (rxy)= -0,894 (p<0,01) and a coefficient determination of 0,796. Based on this data, it was concluded that religiosity contributed effectively to the stress levels of Muslim pregnant women by 79,6%. The hypothesis was proven, that there was a relationship between religiosity and stress level among Muslim pregnant women. The study underscores the importance of understanding the complex interplay between religion and mental health. The findings suggest that religiosity can be an effective factor in reducing stress levels in Muslim pregnant women.

“…Besides, exercise during pregnancy will also increase maternal blood circulation thereby optimizing the amount of oxygen carried to the muscles and body tissues (22). Then, by doing dhikr, the human mind is directed towards remembrance to Allah and towards all the positive elements in life so that anxiety and stress can be reduced (23). Previous research showed that antenatal class using the Maryam method was more effective than the standart antenatal class in reducing anxiety levels in pregnant women (p<0.05), but further researches are still needed to explore variables that affect the level of anxiety such as levels of the hormone cortisol or β-Endorphin levels (24).…”

Women are more at risk to stress in pregnancy than during the puerperium. One method of coping with stress is through physical exercise. Maryam Exercise can be used as an alternative to the development of pregnancy exercises in Indonesia because it covers the holistic aspects and easy to do. It is a combination of basic pregnancy exercises, Islamic prayer (Salat) movements and dhikr. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of Maryam exercise on the stress levels and cortisol serum levels among primiparous pregnant women. This study used a quasi-experimental study design, pre-test and post-test with non-equivalent control group. In the third trimester of 40 primiparous women were randomly assigned into two groups such the experimental group (n=20) and the control group (n=20). The experimental group received the Maryam exercise while the control group received the standard antenatal exercise. There was a significant difference in stress levels between the intervention group and the control group before and after receiving the intervention (p <0.05). The cortisol levels also showed the significance difference between the intervention group and the control group before and after receiving the intervention (p <0.05). The findings of this study suggest that Maryam Exercise has a positive impact on stress levels and cortisol serum levels of primiparous pregnant women.
