ABSTRACT
Spiritual development is an indispensable factor in enhancing whole-person development. Through spiritual growth, students can integrate the relationship with themselves, with others, with environment and with God. The main purpose of this study was to discuss the relationships between spiritual health and life stresses of high school students. The study was based on a survey on three girl high school students in Taichung City. Stratified cluster sampling method was used, and totally 1217 copies of effective sample were collected. The survey tools were questionnaires of “the Evaluation of Spiritual Health”, “the Evaluation of Life Stress” and basic background information. Using SPSS for Windows (Release 10.0), the collected data was filed and analyzed by factor analysis, item analysis, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation and Multiple Regression Analysis. Following were the major findings:
1. According to the result of “the Assessment of Spiritual Health”, the three girl high school students in Taichung got 4.14 points out of 6 points in the state of spiritual health, which showed that their spiritual health was above average. The content of “the Evaluation of Spiritual Health” was studied in four dimensions: vertically, the harmonious interrelationship between human beings and God; horizontally, the harmonious interrelationship between human beings themselves, other people and the environment.
2. According to the result of “the Assessment of Life Stress”, the students got 3.16 points out of 6 points, which showed that the studied targets bore medium level of life stresses. The sources of the stresses came sequentially from school, personal factors, human relationship, and family.
3. Students with different backgrounds showed significant differences in spiritual health. Students with older age, religious belief and higher father social and financial status had better spiritual health.
4. Students with different backgrounds (overall speaking, parents’ marriage status, family social and economical status, the type of the school, and the grade the targets studied) showed prominent differences in life stresses.
5. There was negative correlation between the overall spiritual health and life stresses of the studied targets. “The relationship with self” in spiritual health had obvious negative correlation with the “stresses” from school, family, human relationship and oneself. And because most of the studied targets had no religious believe, the correlation between “self and God” and life stresses was the lowest among all the factors that influenced life stresses.
6. The spiritual health of the studied targets had obvious predictability to their life stresses. In spiritual health, the dimension of “the relationship with self” had more predictability to overall life stresses. In other words, in spiritual health, “the relationship with self” had better predictability in stresses from school, family, human relationship and oneself.
