PEMERKASAAN PENDAKWAH MUALAF DENGAN ILMU KECERDASAN SPIRITUAL DI MUIP

The study aims to identify the knowledge, learning experience, and needs of the module of spiritual intelligence training and modules among converted preachers appointed by the Majlis Ugama Islam dan Adat Resam Melayu Pahang (MUIP). A qualitative method using an interview instrument is used to collect data from the respondents. The interview instrument has been constructed based on the research objectives and has undergone a process of validation by experts. The respondents were randomly selected from a list of converted preachers who have registered and appointed by MUIP. They are from diverse ethnic backgrounds such as Orang Asli, Chinese, and Indians. The interview is conducted face-to-face and online, depending on the location and time factors of the respondent. All interview recordings are translated into text using the Inscribe application. Respondent answers are analysed and categorised by theme. The survey showed that 60% of respondents had spiritual intelligence knowledge at low and medium levels. Some respondents (50%) said they were exposed to the spiritual intelligence knowledge formally and some informally. The majority of respondents (80 %) said they needed the spiritual intelligence knowledge to strengthen themselves internally and consolidate their reputation. Therefore, there is a need to construct a module on spiritual intelligence knowledge and deliver as a formal education program to the converted preachers to strengthen the preaching efforts in Malaysia.

The impact of openness to experience personality trait on attitudes of medical students toward euthanasia: the moderating role of spiritual intelligence.

Euthanasia is the most important ethical challenges in the entire field of medicine. Various factors may influence the medical students' attitudes toward euthanasia, including personal beliefs, values, and personality traits. This research aimed at examining spiritual intelligence as a moderator of the relationship between openness to experience and attitude toward euthanasia. In this cross-sectional study, a total of 219 medical students (85 men and 134 women) in Zahedan, Iran, in 2022, were selected by convenience sampling method and evaluated using the socio-demographic information form (including age, gender, and medical education level), Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory, 24-item Brief HEXACO Inventory, and Euthanasia Attitude Scale, followed by using SPSS v25 for data analysis. The study results showed that openness to experience positively and spiritual intelligence negatively associated with attitude toward euthanasia. Also, the regression analysis revealed that spiritual intelligence had a moderating role in the relationship between openness to experience and attitude toward euthanasia. It seems that paying attention to personality differences and spiritual intelligence training among medical students can play an important role in changing their attitudes toward euthanasia.

Social Responsibility and Spiritual Intelligence: University Students' Attitudes during COVID-19.

Human behavior during COVID-19 has led to the study of attitude and preferences among the population in different circumstances. In this sense, studying human behavior can contribute to creating policies for integral education, which should consider the convergence between social responsibility and spiritual intelligence. This can lead to the sensitization of practices and attitude modification within society. The purpose of our research was to explore the spiritual intelligence attitudes of university students from the perspective of social responsibility, considering the sociodemographic characteristics of the research subjects during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research design is quantitative and sectional, due to the use of two quantitative scales. The participants were university students from a city located in south-central Chile. A total of 415 participations were collected, of which 362 applications were valid. Statistically significant differences were found according to gender and age. Women and the student cohort between 18 and 24 years of age placed more importance on spiritual necessities. We thus highlight the necessity to have adequate spaces for spiritual intelligence training given its links with socially responsible behavior and, finally, the development of explanatory studies to determine its causalities. In practice, these results contribute to designing an educational policy on the formation of integral spiritual intelligence for future professionals.

Interventions to improve nurses' job satisfaction: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

To identify current best evidence on the types of interventions that have been developed to improve job satisfaction among nurses and on the effectiveness of these interventions. The systematic review is a quantitative systematic review and meta-analysis following a profile-likelihood random-effects model. CINAHL, Medic, and Pubmed (Medline). PICOS eligibility criteria were used to select original studies published between 2003-2019. The articles were screened by title (N=489), abstract (N=61), and full-text (N=47). A total of 20 articles remained after the full-text screening process and further assess on risk of bias. The screening process was conducted by two authors independently and finally agreed together. A meta-analysis was performed to determine how the identified interventions influence nurses' job satisfaction. The interventions were primarily educational and consisted of workshops, educational sessions, lessons, and training sessions. The postintervention differences between intervention and control groups in meta-analysis revealed that two interventions significantly improved nurses' job satisfaction. Notably, the spiritual intelligence training protocol and Professional Identity Development Program were found to be effective in improving job satisfaction. Healthcare organizations and managers should consider implementing effective interventions to improve nurses' job satisfaction and reduce turnover. The results reported in this study highlight that nurse managers should focus on organizational strategies that will foster the intrinsic motivation of employees. The current nursing shortage and increased turnover intentions are proving to be a global problem. For this reason, it is imperative that nurse managers plan strategies to improve nurses´ job satisfaction. The effective interventions detected in this study are a first step for developing human resource strategies for healthcare organizations. These findings propose that extrinsic factors (e.g., salary and rewards) will never be as effective in maintaining job satisfaction as intrinsic factors (e.g., spiritual intelligence, professional identity, and awareness).

The total mean scores for communication skills and two components of listening and regulating affections after the intervention were significantly higher for the experimental group (P = 0.001, P = 0.001, and P = 0.03, respectively). The experimental group received significantly higher changes mean score before and after the intervention compared to the control group (P < 0.05) (116.83; 120.11; 118.98). Conclusions: According to the results, although spiritual intelligence has only improved the total score of communication skills and listening skill, we expect that effects of SQ on creating communication skill need more time and practice.

The relationship between spiritual intelligence, life expectancy, and self- regulation among high school students

The present study investigated the relationship between spiritual intelligence and life expectancy and self-regulation among students. The study was a descriptive and correlational research. The population included all high school female students in Tehran province. Using Cochran formula, 384 students were selected as the sample through multi-step cluster random sampling.

Also, through Canonical analysis, it was showed that spiritual intelligence explained 26% and 2.5% of variance in life expectancy and self-regulation, respectively. Regression analysis of spiritual intelligence components showed that transcendental consciousness, personal meaning generation, and expanded state of consciousness all together explained 17.4 % of variance in life expectancy. Similarly, 18% of the variance in self-regulation was explained by personal meaning generation and expanded state of consciousness. Due to the important role of spiritual intelligence in life expectancy and self-regulation, it is suggested that spiritual intelligence training for students be taken into account.
