Pearson product-moment correlational analysis, multiple regression analyses, and Hayes’s PROCESS modeling showed spiritual fulfillment-MQLI as the strongest predictor of life satisfaction-PWB, and of PWB overall. Physical wellbeing-MQLI was the greatest predictor of worthiness-PWB. For Muslim women, low spiritual fulfillment-MQLI was positively correlated with high anxiety-PWB. Muslim religiosity is not often integrated into policy and practice frameworks in Australia, which has implications for social work practice with Muslim minority communities, more so with Muslim women.","PeriodicalId":45302,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY IN SOCIAL WORK","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84142642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it becomes imperative that social workers and students are skilled in implementing assessment tools with a holistic view of the client. This includes a religious and spiritually responsive facet since the profession is practice-based. This study examined Biblical narratives in the teaching and learning of the planned change process, focusing on assessment. Since there are many assessment tools utilized in the social work profession, the author uses the genogram and applies it to case studies from the Bible to understand family dynamics and their influence on individuals. A model was designed for teaching assessment with genogram adaptation while focusing on the relationship between spirituality and religion in child welfare practice. Spirituality is an asset in strength-based perspective and social work practice, including the role of spirituality in the biopsychosocial assessment of clients. Finally, it is recommended that biopsychosocial-spiritual assessment is an essential concept in the classroom to initiate a robust client-centered intervention.","PeriodicalId":45302,"journal":{"name":"JOURNAL OF RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY IN SOCIAL WORK","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82260199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
