The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between psychological wellbeing, family cohesion, and spiritual health among students of Kharazmi University.
Methods: In this descriptive correlation study during 2013-2014 academic years, 343 students studying at Kharazmi University were selected through cluster sampling. The data was collected through, Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Questionnaires, Fischer’s Family Organized Cohesiveness Scale, Palutzian and Ellison’s Spiritual Health Questionnaires and Owen and Froman`s Academic Self-efficacy Questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics tests, Pearson correlation coefficient test, multiple linear regression and path analysis.
Results: The Pearson correlation coefficient test showed a significant positive relationship between academic self-efficacy and psychological wellbeing (r=0.371), family cohesion (r=0.351) and spiritual health (r=0.468) (P<0.01). The results of linear regression analysis indicated that the variables like psychological wellbeing family cohesion and spiritual health were able to express 0.28 percent of academic self-efficacy variance among the students. Moreover, the results of path analysis showed that the predictor variables affected academic self-efficacy both directly and indirectly.
Conclusion: The findings of the study support that as predictor variables psychological wellbeing, family cohesion, and spiritual health are able to predict academic self-efficacy among students. So it seems necessary to provide training courses for developing self-efficacy and academic self-efficacy beliefs with regard to individual differences in terms of psychological wellbeing, family cohesion, and spiritual health.
