Abstract
Spirituality appears to be important aspect in pursuing happiness for religious people. They believe that spirituality is a way through which their deepest desires are met by connecting with God, the transcendent (Corwin, 2014). As a result, religious people generally believe that dedicating their lives to God in the love and service of His people is the way to pursue happiness (Mudge, 2021). The purpose of this study was to develop and implement an adjunct therapeutic intervention for clergy who are low in their spiritual health and psychological health. The researcher developed a Mindful based Psycho-Spiritual Intervention Program integrating theories of cognitive, mindfulness and meaning management and coined a name as “MiPSIP”. The program intended to improve spiritual health and psychological health among the clergy in Myanmar. The study used true experimental research method, and pre-test post-test group design. This study was conducted in two phases: the first phase was the development of the intervention and the second phase was the experimental validation of the intervention. This intervention was subjected to expert validation. The result of the study shows a significant improvement of spiritual well-being and psychological well-being among clergy. The data obtained from the administration of the pre-test and post-test scores of SHALOM, PWBS and the personal data sheet were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive statistics. Frequency and percentage were used to come with a presentation of the demographic profile of the participants. The pretest and post-test scores of the experimental group indicated significant differences as the results of frequency and percentage of participants on psychological well- being shows that 92% of novice clergy and 96% of senior priests reported high overall spiritual well-being. The result revealed that MiPSIP was effective in improving spiritual health and psychological health of clergy.
