However, little is known about the attitudes and knowledge about medical cannabis among nursing students, particularly those from the religious/ultra-Orthodox sector. It is important for nurses to know about medical cannabis because they are at the forefront of care and provide patient guidance. A cross-sectional study sampled 221 religious/ultra-Orthodox nursing students who were studying for a BN or MN degree. Online questionnaires asked for demographic details and tested their attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge regarding the use of medical cannabis. Data analysis was conducted using the Pearson Correlation, t tests for independent samples, unifactorial and multiple regression variance tests to predict positive attitudes toward medical cannabis. The findings show that the attitudes of nursing students from the religious/ultra-Orthodox sector regarding the use of medical cannabis are more negative than those of other nursing students. Participants who had been exposed to medical cannabis expressed more positive attitudes. However, most participants oppose cannabis being made legal for recreational use, believe it is addictive, and show a very low medical cannabis usage rate. A negative connection was also found between degree of religiosity and attitudes toward medical cannabis. The knowledge of religious/ultra-Orthodox nursing students regarding medical cannabis was found to be low, and they supported its inclusion in the curriculum. The findings indicate a need to include medical cannabis in the academic curriculum to increase knowledge about it among healthcare professionals. The research should be extended to a representative sample of additional populations and compare between staff who studied about medical cannabis and those who did not. Depth interviews should be conducted with policy makers to discover what has been done and will be done to train the next generation of students.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144576630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than assuming a direct effect of forgiveness on life satisfaction, we examined whether resilience and positive experiences act as mediators in this association. A cross-sectional design was employed, and data were collected from 751 Greek adults using the Heartland Forgiveness Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, and the Satisfaction with Life Scale. The findings revealed limited direct effects of forgiveness on life satisfaction. However, significant indirect effects emerged, particularly for self-forgiveness and situational forgiveness, operating through resilience and positive experiences. These results suggest that the role of forgiveness in well-being may be more accurately understood through its associations with adaptive functioning and emotional well-being. While the results are preliminary due to the cross-sectional nature of the data, they offer support for expanding existing models of forgiveness to include indirect psychological mechanisms. Future studies employing longitudinal designs are necessary to confirm these pathways and their implications for interventions aimed at enhancing well-being.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144576692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scale development process followed a multi-phase psychometric framework, including the generation of an item pool, expert review, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and criterion-related validation. A study was conducted with 400 children aged 9-11 in order to ascertain the structure of the EFA. The results of the study revealed a unidimensional structure which explained 47.716% of the total variance, with item loadings ranging from .512 to .690. The KMO value (.806) and Bartlett's test (χ2 = 613.902, p < .001) indicated the suitability of the data for factor analysis. The CFA, based on a sample of 260 children, supported the one-factor model with acceptable fit indices (χ2/df = 2.231; RMSEA = .080; CFI = .914; GFI = .930). The criterion validity of the scale was examined through administration of the Spiritual Robustness Scale to a sample of 39 children. A significant positive correlation (r = .371, p < .001) was identified, suggesting that the scale effectively captures aspects of spiritual resilience and internal strength. The SVS-PSC demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's α = .831), and item-total correlations ranged from .396 to .588. The findings of this study indicate that the SVS-PSC is a psychometrically robust tool for evaluating core spiritual values such as honesty, gratitude, empathy, and responsibility in children. The scale provides researchers and educators with a valid instrument with which to understand spiritual development and foster character education in primary school settings.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144565406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical framework underpinning the TSAS is predicated on the conceptualisation of spiritual amnesia as the progressive weakening of cognitive, emotional, and behavioural ties to spiritual beliefs and practices. This phenomenon is frequently precipitated by modernisation, digitalisation, and individualisation. The scale development process was guided by theoretical foundations such as Pargament's spiritual coping theory and Fowler's faith development theory. The process involved item generation, expert review, pilot testing, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and reliability assessments. A total of 296 emerging adults participated in the EFA and 242 in the CFA. Additionally, criterion validity was assessed using a separate sample of 54 individuals. The findings obtained supported a unidimensional structure that explained 61.17% of the variance, with acceptable model fit indices (CFI = 0.911, RMSEA = 0.08). The TSAS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.964) and robust test-retest reliability (r = 0.84, p < 0.001). The criterion validity of the scale was confirmed through a positive correlation with the Spiritual Contradiction Scale (r = 0.448, p < 0.001). The TSAS is a culturally grounded, theoretically sound, and psychometrically reliable instrument for the assessment of spiritual disengagement. Its application in psychological, spiritual, and sociocultural research has the potential to contribute to understanding contemporary forms of spiritual detachment in secularising contexts. Furthermore, the scale offers practical value for professionals working in youth counselling, spiritual assessment, and mental health services.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144561551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on previous work that used moral elevation to benefit veterans, this study explored the relationship between eliciting elevation, daily motives, and affective experiences for veterans with moral injury-related distress. Using an ABA experimental design, veterans (final n = 22) first completed 4 daily surveys that only included brief daily measures (A), followed by 4 days of measures combined with a daily elevation-eliciting exercise (B), then 4 daily surveys with measures only again (A). On days 5-8, elevation was elicited by presenting short video clips featuring moral exemplars performing virtuous acts, consistent with previous work. Using linear mixed effects models, we assessed the concurrent effects of state elevation on daily experiences during days with elevation elicitation. We also fit linear mixed effects models to compare pre-post changes in daily experiences before and after days 5-8 of watching elevation videos. Results indicated state elevation after videos was linked with higher daily positive affect, self-improvement motives, and compassionate motives. Veterans also reported a significant decrease in daily negative affect, fear, hostility, guilt, and sadness, along with significant decreases in suicidal ideation in the four days after watching elevation videos compared to baseline. These findings provide preliminary support for the potential benefits of eliciting elevation in veterans with moral injury distress and suggest elevation elicitation could be associated with desirable outcomes in daily life.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144561550","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is no research about the preventive role of religion regarding dark-triad personality traits as antecedents of antisocial behavior at work. This study verified the mechanisms underpinning the relationship between religious practices and egoism at work, focusing on the mediating role of the dark triad and the moderating roles of perception of a relationship with God and an instrumental ethical climate. It was hypothesized that among Polish employees, according to relational spirituality, religious practices have a negative effect on dark-triad personality traits only in group with the most positive perception of a bond with God. It was also hypothesized that, consistent with the concept of trait activation, an instrumental ethical climate in turn strengthens the positive effect of dark-triad personality traits on egoism at work. In the cross-sectional study participated 434 employees from Poland. Consistent with the relational spirituality approach and concept of trait activation, the preventive role of the interactive effect of prayer and perception of a relationship with God for dark triad was confirmed the same as the moderating function of an instrumental ethical climate in the relationship between psychopathy and egoism at work and Machiavellianism and egoism at work.","PeriodicalId":48054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Religion & Health","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144561553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
