The research respondents consists of 73 adolescents aged between 13 to 18 years who have experienced cyberbullying. The measurement instrument tool used in this study refers to the aspects of resilience according to Connor and Davidson (2003), which include of personal competence, trust in instinct, positive acceptance of change and secure relationship, self-control and factors, and spiritual influences. The analysis results show that the empirical average resilience score is 101.45, classified as high with a standard deviation of 19.16. High resilience levels indicate that adolescents who are victims of cyberbullying have the ability to cope and recover from negative impacts such as stress and depression. This is reflected in the high personal competence of cyberbullying victims, including the ability to manage emotions, make appropriate decisions, and build healthy interpersonal relationships. They also have strong trust in their instincts, which includes belief in their own ability to overcome problems and face challenges. Good self-control also supports resilience because adolescents who are victims of cyberbullying can control their emotions and behaviors, making it easier for them to recover from traumatic experiences. Addiotionally, high social support plays a crucial role as it provides support and attention, helping these adolescents feel supported and not alone in facing their problems. Furthermore, spiritual influence with belief in assistance from the divine being indicates that these adolescents have spiritual beliefs and trust in higher power to be a source of strength and calmnessin facing difficulties.

The Study of Religion, Spirituality and Wellbeing: Research Trends

Research on religion, spirituality, and wellbeing has witnessed significant growth in the last decade. In an effort to better organize the expanding body of published studies, a classification into three groups is proposed. The first group encompasses studies focusing on the therapeutic aspects of religion and spirituality, such as coping mechanisms, resilience, and their impact on health. The second cluster deals with research exploring the positive effects of religion and spirituality, including improvements in quality of life, the pursuit of meaning, and their association with happiness and fulfilment. The third group is centred around 'human flourishing' and delves into developmental and normative approaches. Across all three groups, ongoing research consistently reveals a positive influence of religion and spirituality, even though there are debates concerning the mediators of these positive effects. Despite this progress, several unresolved issues persist in the current research, warranting further investigation in this important and evolving field.

Defining Relational Dimensions of Spiritual Influence for Management Research and Practice

In management research, the impact of spirituality and its positive influence on organizational outcomes has been studied from many aspects of management practice. The result has been a non-delineated, cross-sectional view of spiritual guidance in creating healthy individual and business outcomes. Unfortunately, the limited focus on spiritual well-being has not encouraged research that considers the full range of outcomes from various dimensions of spirituality. Such focus has not considered the influence of adverse spiritual intent or made distinctions between divine and human forms of spirituality that create uncertainty and lack of trust in spiritual and religious guidance. Considering these limitations, this conceptual research shares a dimensionality of spiritual discernment derived from the current literature on spirituality in management and discusses the limitations of each within the context of developing spiritual capital and spiritual intelligence. This paper presents both divine and human relationships in framing this model and suggests the need to better understand the bounded nature of spirituality under dark or human influence. The outcome from this work is the development of a Relational Models Theory of Spirituality (RMTS) framework to guide management research in creating an ontological perspective around the nature and intent of spiritual relationships and to encourage seeking third-person spirituality as an unbiased, higher form of Spiritual guidance.

Borobudur cultural landscape : a madilog discourse

Borobudur, an ancient monument renowned as a prominent tourist attraction for years, has traditionally been scrutinized through the lens of mystical logic, with prevailing discussions revolving around spiritual influences and supernatural elements. This perspective posits that every aspect of Borobudur, from its construction to its purpose, is intrinsically linked to spiritual motivations. However, a departure from this mystical logic emerges in contemporary research studies that delve into Borobudur's facets through various disciplines such as geography, geology, architecture, and astronomy. This shift aims to explore the cultural landscape of Borobudur during its construction in the eighth century from a different standpoint. In a departure from the mystical approach, this study adopts Tan Malaka's Madilog method to present a fresh perspective on Borobudur's cultural landscape. Through this alternative approach, the study unveils a compelling revelation: Borobudur's cultural landscape development aligns significantly with sustainable and economic sustainability principles. Contrary to the prevailing mystical narratives, Tan Malaka's Madilog sheds light on the pragmatic aspects of Borobudur's construction era, emphasizing a connection to broader concepts of sustainability and economic viability. This nuanced exploration broadens our understanding of Borobudur and highlights the importance of considering diverse methodological approaches to unlock the multifaceted dimension of this historical monument.

Аdvertisement of European multiculturalism and its impact on interfaith relations in Ukraine

The article proposes a study of state-church and inter-religious relations in Ukraine during the period of independence in the context of political processes in modern Europe. The modern vectors of state policy in the sphere of religion and freedom of conscience are revealed. The insult in interfaith relations is largely caused by the ill-conceived and inconsistent policy of the government in this area. It has been established that the current political situation in Ukraine indicates a deep crisis in relations in many spheres of social life. Russia's open aggression caused a new wave of aggravation of national self-identification and the church vector in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to highlight the problem of the political and spiritual influence of Europe on modern Orthodoxy in Ukraine, which is in a state of division into different jurisdictions. It has been proven that the unification of the divided branches of Ukrainian Orthodoxy will contribute to the consolidation of Ukrainian society, especially in conditions of open war. The formation of the United Church should take place on the basis of a constructive dialogue between the authorities, denominations and society.
 The research shows that the branches of the divided Ukrainian Orthodoxy are under the active political influence of the geopolitical confrontation of the European scale. Advertising and promotion of multiculturalism and polytheism, which are characteristic of the countries of Western Europe, require corresponding freedom of religion and the presence of a multi-religious component in Ukraine, which openly demonstrates the chosen vector of European integration.
 On the other hand, it was established that the status of the United Independent Church affects issues of national security, international recognition, geopolitical influence, consolidation of Ukrainian society, unification of self-identification of Ukrainian citizens and is an important conflict-causing factor. Therefore, the issue of establishing the United Independent Ukrainian Church remains topical today.

Spirituality moderates the relationship between cancer caregiver burden and depression.

Cancer has become a chronic disease that requires a considerable amount of informal caregiving, often quite burdensome to family caregivers. However, the influence of spirituality on the caregivers' burden and mental health outcomes has been understudied. This study was to examine how caregiver burden, spirituality, and depression change during cancer treatment and investigate the moderating role of spirituality in the relationship between caregiver burden and depression for a sample of caregivers of persons with cancer. This secondary analysis used a longitudinal design employing 3 waves of data collection (at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months). Family caregivers completed the Caregiver Reaction Assessment, Spiritual Perspective Scale, and the PROMIS® depression measure. Linear mixed model analyses were used, controlling for pertinent covariates. Spirituality, total caregiver burden, and depression remained stable over 6 months. More than 30% of the caregivers had mild to severe depressive symptoms at 3 time points. There was evidence of overall burden influencing depression. Of note was a protective effect of caregivers' spirituality on the relationship between depression and caregiver burden over time (b = -1.35, p = .015). The lower the spirituality, the stronger the relationship between depression and burden, especially regarding subscales of schedule burden, financial burden, and lack of family support. Spirituality was a significant resource for coping with caregiving challenges. This study suggests that comprehensive screening and spiritual care for cancer caregivers may improve their cancer caregiving experience and possibly influence the care recipients' health.

Employee’s Spiritual Well-Being: Diminishing the Negative Fibs of Job Stress, Ego Depletion and Cyberloafing

Purpose: The present study aims to empirically examine a research model that investigates the impact of job stress and ego depletion on cyberloafing behavior. Also examining the role of Islamic workplace spirituality as a moderating factor in the relationship between job stress and ego-depletion, with cyberloafing and its consequences on employees’ spiritual well-being. Theoritical Framework: This study used the theory of self-regulation and control. Although there may be slight differences in the conceptualization of self-regulation of behavior but if a discrepancy is detected, the behavior is performed, or expectations are modified to mitigate the mismatch. It is the basis for examining the impact of work-related stress and ego depletion on human behavior. Design/methodology/approach: This research was conducted with 271 employees out of 547 population’s members of Islamic-based universities located in Banyumas Regency, Indonesia. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, and the distributiin of questionnaires to employess was conducted haphzardly. Data were then analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). Findings: The finding indicates a favorable relationship between job stress, ego depletion, and cyberloafing. A noteworthy finding also indicates that engaging in cyberloafing should nourish employes spiritual well-being. The presence of Islamic workplace spirituality did not seem to have a moderating effect on the association between job stress and cyberloafing. In contrast, Islamic workplace spirituality serves as a moderating factor in the relationship between cyberloafing and spiritual well-being. Research, Pratical & Social Implication: This finding does not align with previous research on job stress and cyberloafing. However, researchers have expanded the research model related to cyberloafing by including ego depletion and spiritual well-being variables. They have also examined the moderating influence of Islamic workplace spirituality on the relationship between cyberloafing and spiritual well-being. The purpose of this study is to incorporate academic literature regarding the impact of cyberloafing. This trend is not inherently negative but is associated with the value of spiritual well-being. The anticipated outcomes of this study encompass both theoretical and practical contributions to the fields of spiritual well-being and workplace deviant behavior. Originality/value: This research examines the impact of cyberloafing behavior on the spiritual well-being of individuals in a professional setting. Following the research subject, researchers also incorporate a spiritual value to the concept of well-being, as the study is conducted within an Islamic university that adheres to Islamic principles in its practices.

Influences of Faith on Rural Appalachian Older Adult Health: An Ethnonursing Study.

Rural Appalachian older adults (RAOAs) constitute a vulnerable population and experience significant health disparities. The combination of age, poverty, rural residence, health care provider shortages, and limited transportation increases risks for poor health outcomes. Spirituality enhances older adult health; however, little is known about spirituality-health linkages of RAOAs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to discover the influences of spirituality on RAOA health. Culture Care Theory and ethnonursing method guided analysis of 32 RAOA interviews in community settings in East Tennessee. "Faith" is an integral component of RAOA culture and health. Three themes were extrapolated: (a) Relationship with God is personal; (b) faith beliefs and practices influence health, illness, death, and dying; and [the need to] (c) "Open the door" for spiritual care. Faith assessment and spiritual care recommendations contribute to culturally congruent care for RAOAs and may be transferable to care for other older adults.

The Influence of Spirituality on Psychological Resilience and Recurrence in Hypertension Patients

Hypertension is a chronic disease that is prone to recurrence and disrupts the balance of systemic hemodynamics to cause various serious multi-system complications. This study aimed to analyze the spiritual level in the regulation of resilience and relapse in hypertensive patients. We used a correlation analysis method with a cross-sectional approach. The population was 76 patients who were recorded as coming to the Puskesmas with a sample size of 62 respondents who were taken by simple random sampling. The independent variable was spirituality, as measured using the Daily Spiritual Experience Scale (DSES). The dependent variable was resilience as measured by the Nicholson–McBride Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ) and hypertension recurrence. Statistical tests using Spearman’s rank with alpha (α) 0.05. The results of the statistical tests show a significant relationship between spirituality and resilience. The p-value obtained is 0.001 less than 0.05, with a level of closeness of 0.790 or solid. Spirituality is also significantly related to hypertension recurrence with a p-value of 0.011, smaller than alpha 0.05, and a level of closeness of -0.325, which means a moderate level of closeness. Deep spirituality will trigger the strengthening of resilience that regulates the balance of stress and homeostasis of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The physiological sympathetic and parasympathetic systems regulate vascular smooth muscle contractions to control blood pressure and reduce the rate of hypertensive recurrence.

Black People, Spirituality, and Mental Health

The influence of spirituality and religiosity in the Black community has historically been significant. While spirituality and religiosity are important for the majority of Americans, compared to other races/ethnicities, Black people report the highest valuation for religion in their individual lives. Spirituality and religiosity have known protective effects on health, although, compared to the general relationship between these factors and general health care, the role of spirituality and religiosity within the mental health system is not well characterized. In significant ways for the Black community, while serving a protective and positive function, spirituality and religiosity can also create tensions for patients within mainstream mental health care systems that emphasize a biopsychosocial framework, leaving out key dimensions of spiritual well-being and formation. The complexity of the relationship between Black people's mental health and their religion and spirituality also has roots in a history of colonialism and racism. In this article, we describe some ways in which religion and spirituality have been important to the health and well-being of the Black community, as well as certain ways these factors have created tension within the community.

Immaculate Conception of Gender: The Marian Phenomenon Among Catholic Women Pilgrims

This research concerns the phenomenological pragmatics of the Marian imaginaries in the study of gender and religion as intersecting and coconstituting themes. The contemporary constructions of antiquity occur in two ways: phantasmatic conceptions of the sacred as indoctrinated gendered catechisms, and embodied forms manifest on the body, thus serving as dogmatic disruptions for human sexuality. Reminiscent of Irigaray, what are the ways in which seemingly sexed bodies shelter the deterritorialized Queen? In what manner do bodies on pilgrimage facilitate the mediation of the mediatrix? This study examines how the queen of virgins, the Regina Virginum, demarcates the visions of womanhood and femininity through fieldwork among the Latina Catholic women pilgrims to the House of the Virgin Mary in Selçuk Province, Turkey. In this context, it further provides an analysis of discourse within the context of Pope Francis’ address at the General Audience held in the Paul VI Audience Hall on Wednesday, 23 August 2023. The research results are set to highlight how women can cultivate empowerment by embracing their inner selves, paralleling Mary’s spiritual influence on women’s agency. Findings demonstrate how women utilize pilgrimage experiences, inspired by Mary’s multifaceted symbolism, to challenge gender norms, reconstruct identities, and assert agency, emphasizing the transformative potential of religious practices in empowering women.
