Abstract

Background

Spiritual counselling techniques can offer individuals a sense of new meaning and a way to cope with difficulties. However, no prior study has specifically examined the effectiveness of a spiritual intelligence counselling programme on suicidal ideation and self-concept among retired individuals.

Aims

This study aimed to evaluate how a new counselling programme focusing on spiritual intelligence helps retired individuals deal with suicidal ideation and self-concept.

Materials and Methods

A total of 40 retired individuals were split into two groups: one that received the counselling programme (experimental group = 20) and one that did not (control group = 20) based on their initial scores of suicidal ideation and self-concept scales. The experimental group went through a 10-session counselling programme, meeting for 90 min each week from April to June 2023.

Results

Based on means, standard deviations and analysis of variance, results found significant differences in scores between those who underwent the counselling programme and those who did not. The experimental group revealed a decrease in suicidal ideation and an improvement in self-concept after completing the counselling programme. Males seemed to benefit more from the spiritual intelligence-based counselling programme than females in reducing suicidal ideation. There was no difference between males and females regarding self-concept.

Discussion

The spiritual counselling programme improves self-concept and reduces suicidal ideation among retired individuals.

Conclusion

The results suggest that the spiritual intelligence-based counselling programme shows promise in addressing mental health issues among retired individuals.

基于精神智能的辅导计划对退休人员自杀倾向和自我概念的影响

精神咨询技术可以为个人提供一种新的意义感和应对困难的方法。本研究旨在评估一项以灵性智慧为重点的新辅导计划如何帮助退休人员应对自杀意念和自我概念。研究人员根据 40 名退休人员自杀意念和自我概念量表的初始评分，将他们分成两组：一组接受辅导计划（实验组=20 人），另一组不接受辅导计划（对照组=20 人）。根据平均值、标准差和方差分析，结果发现接受辅导计划的学生与未接受辅导计划的学生在得分上存在显著差异。实验组显示，在完成辅导计划后，自杀念头有所减少，自我概念有所改善。在减少自杀念头方面，男性似乎比女性更能从基于灵性智能的辅导计划中受益。结果表明，基于灵性智能的辅导计划有望解决退休人员的心理健康问题。

期刊介绍： Counselling and Psychotherapy Research is an innovative international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to linking research with practice. Pluralist in orientation, the journal recognises the value of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods strategies of inquiry and aims to promote high-quality, ethical research that informs and develops counselling and psychotherapy practice. CPR is a journal of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, promoting reflexive research strongly linked to practice. The journal has its own website: www.cprjournal.com. The aim of this site is to further develop links between counselling and psychotherapy research and practice by offering accessible information about both the specific contents of each issue of CPR, as well as wider developments in counselling and psychotherapy research. The aims are to ensure that research remains relevant to practice, and for practice to continue to inform research development.
