For downloading the full-text of this article please click here.Background and Objective: Down the centuries, different people and schools have expressed their views about human, commenting on his traits as a healthy personality in written, oral and practical forms. Some of these traits have been provided by humanistic schools and some by divine religions. The underpinnings of humanistic schools are human thoughts, needs analysis, and identifying human limited to their time which lose their applicability over time. However, the underpinnings of divine schools (religions) is recognition of human beyond human imagination by his Creator offered by one of these people, namely the Prophet of the Almighty God, in which the perception of the audiences, i.e. human being has been considered and each individual enjoys it as much as s/he could understand. Therefore, in the present paper as a content analysis based on certain resources, the traits of a healthy individual were studied according to the Holy Qur'an.Method: This study is descriptive, analytical, and inferential by nature carried out using electronic resources, books, and journals. The researchers declared no conflicts of interests.Results: The findings indicated that the Qur’an regards human as a creature with two dimensions of material and spirit, and thus defines his normal personality paradigm.Conclusion: While considering three areas of cognition, emotion, and behavior for human personality, the Quran conditions realization of his perfectness and transcendence by promotion and growth of three aspects of existentialism in the context of three-dimensional communication (self, God and world) and by the charter designed for human, which is also based on his nature and truth, not by the two-dimensional relationship of self and the world available in most schools of psychology.For downloading the full-text of this article please click here.Please cite this article as: Safara M, Salmabadi M.

Philosophical - Psychological 's Recognition of Concept of Spirituality

In many of the contemporary writings, the scholars have talked about spirituality as a constant pursuit of humanity throughout history. Throughout history, the search for spirituality has found numerous cultural interpretations, but its critical and comparative study in the global and intercultural context is an emerging phenomenon of the twentieth century. Although many contemporary dictionaries and encyclopedias refer to spiritualism, spiritual associations, and spiritual experiences, or spiritual ways, they are not necessarily included an entry for spirituality in the true sense of the word. Some religions do not have a precise word for the term ‘spirituality’ which derives from the Christian tradition, but nevertheless the notion of spirituality has become popular today and is now used both inside and outside the religions as well as in the inter-faith and secular fields. The tendencies that are common in contemporary times to spirituality emphasize individuality and self-development and have been accompanied by a different understanding of human psychology

Most of these families have many problems leading them to be known as a vulnerable group that is faced with many mental problems. The present study attempts to examine the relationship between the three variables of spiritual health, family integration, and identity in the women with no or a bad head of the household. Methods: The present study is descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the study included the employed housewives with no or bad heads of the household (n=1013), who were under the support of the Welfare Organization of Alborz province in Iran in 2019-2020. Finally, 285 women were selected under four sub-groups: employed women with bad heads of the household, employed women with no head of the household, housewives with no head of the household and housewives with a bad head of the household. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and the authors reported no conflict of interests. Results: The findings showed that in the women with no head of the household, a significant and positive relationship existed between spiritual health and family integration (P&lt;0.01, r=0.39) and there was a positive relationship between spiritual health and successful identity styles (P&lt;0.01, r=0.24). Furthermore, the relationship between spiritual health and identity styles was statistically significant. In the housewives with a bad head of the household, the relationship between spiritual health and successful identity styles was significant at 0.05 and positive (P&lt;0.05, r=0.24). In the employed women with a bad head of the household, spiritual health had a significant and negative relationship with the ‘disturbed’ identity style (P&lt;0.05, r=-0.60). In the housewives with a bad head of the household, spiritual health was found to be significantly and positively correlated with family integration (P=0.01, –r=0.49). Conclusion: The findings show that there is a significant and direct relationship between spiritual health and family integration and identity styles. Improving spiritual health in women with no or bad head of the household will be effective in reinforcing family integration; the fundamental effect of spiritual health as a major source of identity creation in the society particularly in a religious society such as Iran, will have a very important role.سابقه و هدف: امروزه پدیدۀ خانوارهای زن‌سرپرست یا بدسرپرست به دلایل مختلف در تمام دنیا رو به فزونی است. بیشتر این خانوارها مشکلات عدیده‌ای دارند که موجب شده است قشری آسیب‌پذیر شناخته شوند و با مشکلات روانی متعددی روبه‌رو باشند. هدف از این مطالعه بررسی ارتباط بین سه متغیّر سلامت معنوی، انسجام خانوادگی و هویت در میان زنان بی‌سرپرست یا بدسرپرست خانواده بود. روش کار: پژوهش حاضر از نوع توصیفی-همبستگی است. جامعۀ پژوهش زنان خانه‌دار و شاغل بی‌سرپرست و بدسرپرست تحت پوشش بهزیستی شهر کرج به تعداد 1013 نفر در سال 99-1398 بود. درنهایت 285 نفر ذیل چهار گروه با گروه‌بندی زنان بدسرپرست شاغل، بی‌سرپرست شاغل، بدسرپرست خانه‌دار و بی‌سرپرست خانه‌دار انتخاب شدند. برای جمع‌آوری داده از سه پرسش‌نامۀ سنجش عینی پایگاه هویت من، انسجام خانواده و سلامت معنوی پولوتزین استفاده شد. در این پژوهش همۀ موارد اخلاقی رعایت شده است و مؤلفان مقاله تضاد منافعی گزارش نکرده‌اند. یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که در زنان بی‌سرپرست شاغل سلامت معنوی با انسجام خانواده رابطۀ مثبت و معنادار (01/0&gt;P و 39/0r=) و با سبک­های هویت موفق رابطۀ مثبت داشت (01/0&gt;P و 24/0r=). در زنان بی‌سرپرست خانه‌دار رابطۀ بین سلامت معنوی و سبک هویت موفق در سطح 05/0 مثبت و معنادار بود (05/0&gt;P و 24/0r=). در نمونۀ زنان بدسرپرست شاغل سلامت معنوی تنها با سبک هویت آشفته رابطۀ منفی و معناداری داشت (05/0&gt;P و60/0r=-). در نمونۀ زنان بد­سرپرست خانه­دار سلامت معنوی با انسجام خانواده رابطۀ مثبت و معنادار آماری نشان داد (01/0&gt;P و 49/0r=). نتیجه‌گیری: یافته‌ها نشان می‌دهد که سلامت معنوی با انسجام خانواده و سبک‌های هویتی رابطۀ مستقیم و معناداری دارد. تقویت سلامت معنوی زنان بدسرپرست و بی‌سرپرست، در تقویت انسجام خانوادگی آنان مؤثر خواهد بود؛ تأثیر بنیادین سلامت معنوی به‌عنوان یکی از منابع اصلی هویت‌ساز و هویت‌بخش در جامعه به‌ویژه در جامعه‌ای دینی مثل ایران نقشی بسیار مهمی خواهد داشت
