This exploratory study used a descriptive phenomenological approach to interview four counselors with diverse religious beliefs who are engaged in crisis work. The study identified three key themes of spiritual self-care: 1) religious practice, 2) self-reflection, and 3) internalizing religious values professionally. The research suggests the need for increased religious competence among counselors and emphasizes the inclusion of religious competence as a requirement for crisis work deployment. It also highlights the importance of incorporating cultural aspects into counselor self-care education.KEYWORDS: Spiritual self-careMalaysian counselorscrisis workreligious beliefprofessional functioning AcknowledgmentsThis research was partially supported by Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, USIM Research Grant, PPPI/FKP/0121/USIM/13121.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Authors contributionAll authors contributed to the study’s conception and design.

The results of this study based on the bivariate analysis showed a significant positive relationship between spiritual well-being and life satisfaction. Stress also had a significant negative correlation with life satisfaction. Multiple regression showed that spiritual well-being and stress predict life satisfaction with an effective contribution of 25.2%. Adding the communal domain increases the effective contribution to 27.5%, acting as a mediator. Each spiritual well-being domain correlated with life satisfaction. For sociodemography, it was only found that there were differences in life satisfaction level based on the residence zone. The study highlights the need for interventions integrating psychological and spiritual support to improve healthcare workers’ well-being. It also identifies differences in life satisfaction based on residence zones.

The function of social and spiritual capital in transmitting resources for wellbeing is identified, and the theory of spiritual capital developed, in light of the analysis. Consequently, the need for qualitative investigations of wellbeing in deprived communities is highlighted.","PeriodicalId":51916,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Spirituality in Mental Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135142212","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}
