Abstract

 

The development of modern life, characterized by academic demands, social pressures, and rapid technological change, can impact the psychological well-being of individuals, particularly students. This condition can give rise to inner anxiety, known in the study of religious psychology as the concept of sick soul, a state of mind characterized by restlessness, loss of meaning in life, and emotional instability. In a spiritual context, religious practices are seen as one way to help individuals achieve inner peace and strengthen psychological balance. This study aims to analyze the relationship between religious practices and sick soul in college students.

This study used a quantitative approach with a correlational survey design. The study subjects were 50 students from the State Islamic University of Palangka Raya, selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring religious practices and sick soul. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Pearson Product Moment correlation test, and simple linear regression. The results showed a significant negative relationship between religious practices and sick soul, with a correlation coefficient of -0.383 and a significance level of 0.006. The regression analysis indicated that religious practices contributed 14.7% to the variation in sick soul. These findings indicate that the more religious practices students engage in, the lower their likelihood of experiencing mental illness. Therefore, religious practices can be understood as a spiritual strategy that plays a role in helping students maintain psychological balance and cope more adaptively with life's pressures.

Abstrak

 

Perkembangan kehidupan modern yang ditandai dengan tuntutan akademik, tekanan sosial, dan perubahan teknologi yang cepat dapat memengaruhi kondisi psikologis individu, khususnya mahasiswa. Kondisi tersebut dapat memunculkan kegelisahan batin yang dalam kajian psikologi agama dikenal dengan konsep sick soul, yaitu keadaan jiwa yang ditandai oleh ketidaktenangan, kehilangan makna hidup, serta ketidakstabilan emosional. Dalam konteks spiritual, praktik ibadah dipandang sebagai salah satu cara yang dapat membantu individu memperoleh ketenangan batin dan memperkuat keseimbangan psikologis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara praktik ibadah dan kondisi sick soul pada mahasiswa.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain survei korelasional. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 50 mahasiswa Universitas Islam Negeri Palangka Raya yang dipilih menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner skala Likert yang mengukur variabel praktik ibadah dan kondisi sick soul. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif, uji korelasi Pearson Product Moment, dan regresi linear sederhana. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan negatif yang signifikan antara praktik ibadah dan kondisi sick soul dengan nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar -0,383 dan signifikansi 0,006. Analisis regresi menunjukkan bahwa praktik ibadah memberikan kontribusi sebesar 14,7% terhadap variasi kondisi sick soul. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi praktik ibadah yang dilakukan mahasiswa, maka kecenderungan mengalami kondisi sick soul akan semakin rendah. Dengan demikian, praktik ibadah dapat dipahami sebagai salah satu strategi spiritual yang berperan dalam membantu mahasiswa menjaga keseimbangan psikologis serta menghadapi tekanan kehidupan secara lebih adaptif.

Kata Kunci: praktik ibadah, sick soul, kesehatan mental, spiritualitas, mahasiswa
