Examining the Impact of Religious Health on Students'

In today's challenging academic world, where students face stress, uncertainty, and psychological pressures, can religious beliefs serve as a reinforcing force? This study investigates the effect of religious health on students' self-efficacy. Religious health is defined as a subset of spiritual health, encompassing the relationship between religious beliefs, practices, and experiences with physical and psychological well-being. Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to organize and execute actions to achieve educational goals. Based on historical reviews, religious health has gained attention since the late 19th century, and its importance in reducing depression, enhancing quality of life, and providing social support has been highlighted. This survey-based research was conducted using a questionnaire administered to a sample of 384 students. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between religious health and self-efficacy, which aligns with relevant theoretical models. The study suggests that strengthening religious health can improve students' self-efficacy.
