Abstract :

Spiritual well-being is the understanding of life in terms of relationship with self, others, nature and God. Mental well-being refers to the individual’s psychological functioning and ability to maintain and develop a sense of autonomy, self esteem, self acceptance, personal growth and mutually healthy relationships. Mindfulness entails living the details and experiences of life more fully and attentively. For the same, a quantitative and cross-sectional design was followed for the present study. A total of 86 participants from 20 to 40 years of age across India participated in the study. The tools used were Spiritual Well-being Scale, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, and the Warwick-Edinberg Mental Well-being Scale. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests and correlation. The results found a significant positive relationship of mental well-being with spiritual well-being and with mindfulness. However, mindfulness and spiritual well-being were not found to be correlated. Additionally, no gender differences were found in any of the three variables. The personal and communal domains of the spiritual well-being questionnaire were found to have a positive significant correlation with mental well-being. The present study contributes to literature by adding an enriching understanding of the linkage between these variables, which can be studied further to develop appropriate interventions and programs.
