| Abstract | The increasing psychological burden associated with marital and social responsibilities necessitates effective coping mechanisms for mental well-being. Spiritual practices have been widely proposed as protective factors against psychological distress. The present study investigates the impact of spiritual study adaptation on mental health outcomes among married individuals using a preāpost comparative design. Data were collected from married participants (N = 100) and analysed using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, regression modelling, and structural equation modelling approaches. Results demonstrated increased positivity and reductions in depression, anxiety, and stress following spiritual study adoption, although statistical significance was limited to trend-level improvements. Effect size analysis indicated small but meaningful psychological benefits. Regression analysis suggested that spiritual study adaptation significantly predicted improvements in overall mental health scores. The findings support theoretical perspectives emphasising spirituality as a coping mechanism that enhances psychological resilience and emotional regulation. Implications for mental health interventions and future longitudinal research are discussed. Overall, the study concludes that spiritual study adaptation serves as an effective psychological resource that promotes mental health among married individuals by enhancing positivity and reducing depression, anxiety, and stress. Spiritual practices may therefore be considered a complementary approach for improving psychological well-being and maintaining emotional balance in married life. . |
