Abstract
Background and Objective: Students are more in need of mental health considering the importance and direct impact they have on the growth, development and progress of the society and since they are considered as the efficient and specialized forces of the future for the society and due to the special conditions of the student period such as being away from family, entering a large and stressful complex, economic problems, high volume of courses and intense competition. It seems that there is a relationship between mental health and religious beliefs and social intelligence in the students. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to investigate the role of religious beliefs and social intelligence in predicting the mental health of students at Payame Noor University of Khoy.
Methods: The present study was descriptive and performed through multivariate regression and Pearson correlation. For this purpose, from the statistical population of undergraduate students in Payame Noor University of Khoy using Fidell and Tabachnick’s formulas, a sample of 120 people (60 girls and 60 boys) were selected by random cluster sampling method in the academic year 2016-2017. From the questionnaire, 28 questions of Goldberg mental health question, 25 questions of Baraheni religious attitude and 21 questions of Tromso social intelligence were completed by the participants and the results were analyzed using multivariate regression and pearson correlation. In this study, all the ethical considerations were observed and the author of the article did not reported any conflict of interest.
Results: The maximum age of the studied students was in the age group of 20-25 (78.3%) and the maximum number of students was related to technical fields. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between religious beliefs and general, mental and psychological health and between social awareness and public health (R=0.71 and P<0.01)
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be stated that the higher the religious beliefs and beliefs of the people, the better the public health and also the people who have higher social awareness and knowledge have a better and more appropriate general health of the public.
