A sample of 311 primary school teachers completed the Spiritual Health in Four Domains Index alongside the abbreviated revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and measures of religiosity. The data demonstrate that higher levels of spiritual health are found among older teachers who record low scores on the psychoticism scale and who practice religious faith through church attendance and personal prayer.

A sample of 298 primary-school teachers working within the state-maintained sector in England completed a 150-item questionnaire to assess their understanding of the term “spirituality.” The data demonstrate that after controlling for sex, age, personality, and current religiosity, teachers trained in an Anglican or Free Church College were more likely than teachers trained in secular institutions to interpret the educational construct of spirituality in terms of traditional features of Christianity. There is some evidence for the distinctive religious contribution of Church Colleges to teacher education.

This study argues for the assessment of spiritual health in terms of four domains of wellbeing concerned with self, community, environment, and God. This view of spiritual health is supported by data from 311 teachers in the UK. The Spiritual Health in Four Domains Index (SH4DI) developed from these data both provides an overall index of spiritual health and distinguishes among six different spiritual health perspectives represented by personalists, communalists, environmentalists, religionists, existentialists, and globalists.

A sample of 311 primay schoolteachers completed the abbreviated form of the Revised Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, together with indices of church attendance and personal prayer. The data confirm that psychoticism is fundamental to individual differences in religiosity, while both public and private expressions of religion are independent of extraversion and neuroticism. No significant relationship was reported between lie scale scores and either church attendance or personal prayer.

... Participants answered two questions concerning the frequency of two religious behaviors, personal prayer and church attendance. These questions were included to make a further distinction between personal and public expression of religion based on Brown's (1987) formulation (Brown suggests that these two aspects to religiosity are distinct from the intrinsic and extrinsic orientation toward religion dimensions) and to provide measures of religious acts (Maltby et al. 1999;Francis and Johnson 1999). Church attendance was assessed on a five-point scale: never, a few times a year, once a month, once a week and every day. ...

... The study of Fisher et al. (2000) argues for assessing spiritual health in terms of four domains of well-being concerned with self, community, environment, and God. Fisher et al. (2002) discovered that older teachers with low psychoticism scores and who practice religious faith through church attendance and personal prayer have higher levels of spiritual health. Fisher (2007) explored what factors can be related to teachers' views on spiritual well-being (SWB) and students' perceived help from the school in this area. ...

Pastoral Psychology

... Before becoming a nurse, John of God was on a journey of self-discovery through various crises or kenosis, as Sánchez 19 refers. He was searching for meaning, for answers to fundamental questions about himself through his values and beliefs, as this domain addresses the question "Who I am?" shaping one's self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-fulfillment as an individual 20 . Therefore, after meeting and beginning the spiritual guidance of St. John of Avila, St. John of God came to understand who he was, his vocation, and where his false beliefs about himself, life, others, and even God resided. ...
