Pengaruh kecerdasan rohani terhadap kesejahteraan mental dalam kalangan guru pelatih Pendidikan Islam

Islamic Education Trainee Teachers are vital assets in the education system; however, they often face challenges that may affect their mental well-being. Despite the emphasis on mental well-being in education, research on the role of spiritual intelligence in supporting Islamic Education Trainee Teachers remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to examine and address the question: How does spiritual intelligence influence the mental well-being of trainee teachers? Additionally, this study explores the relationship between spiritual intelligence and mental well-being, with the hypothesis that a higher level of spiritual intelligence positively contributes to mental well-being. This study employs a Mixed Methods approach with a Sequential Explanatory Design to gain a deeper understanding. Quantitative data from 108 participants were analyzed using SPSS version 30, complemented by qualitative insights from semi-structured interviews with five participants, analyzed using ATLAS.ti version 24. Findings indicate that the levels of spiritual intelligence and mental well-being among Islamic Education Trainee Teachers are high. A t-test analysis found no significant gender differences, suggesting that spiritual intelligence has a similar effect on mental well-being for both genders. Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis revealed a positive relationship between spiritual intelligence and mental well-being, indicating that individuals with higher spiritual intelligence tend to have better mental well-being. Multiple regression analysis further showed that the components of spiritual intelligence siddiq, amanah, tabligh, and fathonah significantly influence mental well-being. Finally, thematic analysis identified four key factors influencing spiritual intelligence and mental well-being: self, relationship with Allah, relationship with others, and worship. This study contributes to the theoretical understanding of the role of spiritual intelligence in education and provides practical insights for universities to develop targeted interventions and support systems for trainee teachers.
