The Relationship between Spirituality and Stress: A Study of Medical Students at Islamic Universities in Jakarta

Purpose – The study aims to analyze the relationship between spirituality and academic stress among medical students. Design/method/approach – This study is field research with 225 subjects from UIN Syarif Hidayatullah (n = 115) and YARSI University (n = 110). The data collection instrument used two psychological scales, namely the spirituality scale and the stress scale. The data were analyzed using regression analysis techniques. Findings – The results showed that most students tended to experience moderate stress (n = 134), however, the number of students who experienced severe stress was greater than those with mild stress (n = 53 ‘severe stress’ > n = 38 ‘mild stress'). These results indicate that students should have a self-defense mechanism, namely spirituality. Moreover, the study found that spirituality had a significant negative relation with stress in medical students (r = -0.123, p = 0.00 and R2 = 0.263). It means that the higher the student’s spirituality, the lower the level of academic stress. The significance of the relationship between spirituality and academic stress has confirmed that spirituality in medical students serves as a form of self-protection mechanism to deal with factors that can trigger academic stress. However, the contribution of spirituality to stress was only 26.3%, while the rest (73.7%) were influenced by other variables outside this study. Low r and R2 scores also indicated that in dealing with academic stress, students rely not only on internal defense resources but also on external social and environmental supports. Research implications/limitations – This research has implications for promoting prevention programs designed by universities to improve the student’s ability to overcome obstacles during their medical learning process, such as involving the dimension of spirituality in managing the mental well-being of medical students in dealing with academic pressure. Originality/value – This research has significance in providing additional understanding of the positive impact of spirituality on the context of learning. The findings of this study have emphasized the importance of educational institutions paying attention to student self-protection mechanisms to prevent personal difficulties. The results showed that spirituality has a significant role in relieving stress in medical students

IDENTIFYING STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION CONSTRAINTS OF 4TH SEMESTER ENGLISH DEPARTMENT STUDENTS AT UNIVERSITY OF ISLAM MALANG

Abstract: This article aims at knowing the students’ reading constraints from two aspects; constraints in major reading skill and difficult text type for the students. The research design in this study is descriptive quantitative reseach. The subject of this study is 4th semester students of English Department, and it consists of 30 students. The researcher used two instruments; a questionnaire and reading test. The participants took reading test after filled the questionnaire. The finding of the study is that the reading comprehension constraints faced by the students are getting the detailed information and understanding the reading text. These constraints seem inseparable since each constraint would affect the other. Then, narrative text is actually considered as the most difficult text in questionnaire result, and descriptive text is found as difficult text based on reading test result. The result is different because of the students might pay more attention on the difficult text that they have admitted in questionnaire. Therefore, the most difficult English text type is descriptive text, followed by narrative text.Keywords: Reading Comprehension, Reading Constraint
