Abstract
Background and Objective: People react to stressful conditions differently, which range from happiness in the face of challenging events that can be settled, to emotions such as anxiety, anger, disappointment, and depression. When the stressful condition continues, a person might experience emotional swings depending on how successful they are in coping with the situation. The present study aims to investigate the application of problem-focused coping strategies at the time of grief and hardship based on a psychological approach in psychology considering Imam Sajjad's perspective.
Methods: This was a qualitative study involving content analysis. To carry out the study, two prayers (7 and 54) were purposefully selected from Sahifa al-Sajjadiah and analyzed through document analysis tools and library data were analyzed using MAXQA-2018 software.
Results: Different coping strategies were extracted from Sahifa al-Sajjadiah, which could help people to be relieved at the time of grief and difficulty. These strategies can be summarized in three domains, including cognitive (knowing God, self-knowledge, attitudes toward difficulty, trust, hope, acceptance, positive outlook, faith in God, and belief in divine traditions), behavioral (remembering God, confession, requesting God, seeking refuge and protection, appeal to God and piety), and emotional-spiritual (saying prayers, remembering God, appeal to God, love and compassion, forgiveness).
Conclusion: Excessive grief in people could hinder them from building a relationship with God and affect their positive acts and consequently hinder their personal growth, which leads to their negligence. Having the required skills and appropriate coping strategies, a person can deal with problems and achieve peace of mind.
