Abstract

Spiritual well-being plays a significant role in shaping the mental and physical health of university students. This study explores in relationship between spiritual well-being and general health among a sample of 200 students aged 18 to 38 years.

Correlational analysis revealed a significant negative relationship (r = -0.14, p< .01), indicated the negative correlation between the variables. Regression analysis further confirmed that spiritual well-being significantly predict general health (β = -0.26, p < .01). The results suggested that spiritual well-being serve as a protective factor against the general health.
