Implications of Spiritually Oriented Cognitive Behavioral Intervention to Enhance the Subjective Well-being in Adults

Background: Well-being is essential for human existence and has often been conceptualized within the realm of physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Spiritual well-being is a key dimension that emphasizes a sense of purpose, faith and meaning in individuals. Objectives: In the pursuit of understanding this facet, the study aimed to understand the implications of Spiritually Oriented Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in enhancing subjective well-being among adults. Methods: In the present study, spiritual well-being of 100 participants was assessed between the age group 18- 55 years. 10 individuals who experienced low spiritual well-being were screened and Spiritually Oriented Cognitive Behavioral intervention was tailored following their needs and administered. Results: Pre- and post-intervention assessments using the BBC Subjective Well-Being Scale and Spirituality Index of Well-Being indicated statistically significant improvements in both spiritual ( p =.007) and subjective well-being ( p =.005). Conclusion: The outcome highlighted the potential of incorporating spiritual dimensions into therapeutic approaches. Addressing this facet provides a holistic approach to mental health care for diverse populations where spirituality forms an integral aspect of daily life.
