Background and Objective: Resilience is one of the issues discussed in health psychology. Numerous studies have focused on factors related to this variable. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of religious orientation and spiritual health in predicting resilience.
Method: This study is of descriptive and correlative nature. The statistical population of the research includes all 4611 female students of the second year of high school in Kerman. The sample of 360 students was selected through multistage cluster sampling method. Data collection instruments were religious orientation questionnaire (Allport, 1967), spiritual health questionnaire (Palutzian & Ellison, 1982), and Connor and Davidson’s resilience questionnaire (2003). To analyze the collected data, the statistical indices which are mean and standard deviation along with correlation and regression were used. In this study, the ethical issues were all considered and the authors declared no conflict of interest.
Results: Analysis of data showed that there was a relationship between religious orientation as well as spiritual health and resilience among female students. In this regard, 0.51 and 0.54 of the resilience variance is predictable through internal and external religious orientation, respectively. Moreover, 0.48 and 0.56 of resilience variance is predictable through religious health and existential health, respectively.
Conclusion: Considering the obtained results, those hypotheses which are based on the significant relationship of religious orientation and spiritual health to resilience are confirmed. Therefore, attaching importance to religion in educational contexts helps young adults to increase their resilience.
