IMPLEMENTATION OF ‘RIADHAH RUHIYYAH’ (SPIRITUALITY TRAINING) AMONG MUSLIM UNIVERSITY STUDENTS TOWARDS THE FULFILMENT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS)

The National Education Philosophy forms the basis for the Higher Education Philosophy in Malaysia in adapting the concept of morality with continuous education goals towards the development of the potential of the individual in an integrated manner. The purpose of this is to create individuals who are intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically balanced based on a belief in God. This aspiration is maintained in the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2015-2025 (Higher Education) which among others aims to produce holistic graduates who are ethical, of high morals, and imbued with strong spirituality. This aspect requires university students to strengthen their spirituality and develop good morals and the ability apply their acquired knowledge and theory. Therefore, the implementation of ‘Riadhah Ruhiyyah’ (spirituality training) is viewed as very practical in fulfilling the said requirement. This quantitative study was conducted to examine the implementation of ‘Riadhah Ruhiyyah’ among university students and involved the participation of 111 Muslim university students at Universiti Malaysia Sabah. The selection of respondents was conducted by purposive sampling with the focus on the criteria that they should be Muslim university students. The probability sampling technique was adapted and all Muslim university students had an equal chance of being chosen as respondents. Findings showed the implementation of ‘Riadhah Ruhiyyah’ among the respondents recording a 2.0811 mean value. This pointed to the likelihood that the items highlighted to measure ‘Riadhah Ruhiyyah’ were seldom practised by the respondents. However, this was not a totally negative indicator since the ‘Riadhah Ruhiyyah’ implementation did exist among university students. There is therefore significance in conducting this study on a more comprehensive scale on all Muslim university students in other Higher Education institutions with the focus on the relation or link between ‘Riadhah Ruhiyyah’ implementation and moral strengthening and practice of university students. This would result in producing holistic university students and fulfil the aspiration of quality education as defined in the aims of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS).

Effects of spirituality training on the moral sensitivity of nursing students: A clinical randomized controlled trial

Training nurses on spiritual principles and values helps to stimulate moral imagery and a deep understanding of moral problems in them. However, spirituality issue was not included in ethical educational content. There was still no interventional study on the effect of spirituality education on ethical sensitivity. This study was conducted to determine the effect of spirituality training on moral sensitivity of nursing students. A randomized controlled trial design was used. Data were collected by a moral sensitivity questionnaire and analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher, independent and paired t-test in SPSS 13v. This research was performed on 60 nursing students of Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2018. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups. The intervention group was under the spirituality group training in seven 60 min sessions. The control group was traditionally trained. Baseline characteristics were similar in the two groups. The differences between the two groups were statistically significant in the moral sensitivity score ( p < 0.0001). A significant difference was observed between the mean of moral sensitivity score of the intervention group, before and after the training ( p < 0.001), while no significant change was observed in the control group, before and after the study ( p = 0.93). The spirituality education increased the moral sensitivity of nursing students. That provides a new perspective on the role and effect of spirituality education on the ethical sensitivity of nursing students.

A preliminary survey on the religious profile of Brazilian psychiatrists and their approach to patients' religiosity in clinical practice

BackgroundAlthough there is evidence of a relationship between religion/ spirituality and mental health, it remains unclear how Brazilian psychiatrists deal with the religion/spirituality of their patients.AimsTo explore whether Brazilian psychiatrists enquire about religion/spirituality in their practice and whether their own beliefs influence their work.MethodFour hundred and eighty-four Brazilian psychiatrists completed a cross-sectional survey on religion/spirituality and clinical practice.ResultsMost psychiatrists had a religious affiliation (67.4%) but more than half of the 484 participants (55.5%) did not usually enquire about patients' religion/spirituality. The most common reasons for not assessing patients' religion/spirituality were ‘being afraid of exceeding the role of a doctor’ (30.2%) and ‘lack of training’ (22.3%).ConclusionsVery religious/spiritual psychiatrists were the most likely to ask about their patients' religion/spirituality. Training in how to deal with a patient's religiosity might help psychiatrists to develop better patient rapport and may contribute to the patient's quicker recovery.
