Spritual Well-being, Life Stress, and Coping

This study aims to investigate the relationship among spirituality, life stress, and coping by Korean college students. The participants were 279 college students (155 males and 124 females). The instruments utilized in the present study were the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, the Life Stress Scale, and the Multidimensional Coping Scale. The Spiritual Well-Being Scale showed satisfactory level of reliability and validity. Correlational analysis revealed that existential well-being was negatively associated with most of life stress domains except life stress with lover, whereas religious well-being was negatively associated with family life stress. In addition, spiritual well-being was positively associated with active coping, positive interpretation, positive comparison, emotional pacification, seeking social support, and seeking religious coping. On the other hand, it was negatively associated with perseverance, fatalism, and self-criticism. The present findings suggest that biopsychsocialspiritual model is needed to understand the relationship among stress, coping, and health and/or disease in terms of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
