description |
Adolescence is a period of time when the development of personality and psychology is taking
place. Studies have shown that religiosity can affect the mental health of a person. Many tools have
been developed to assess religiosity of a person; one of them is the Santa Clara Strength of Religious
Faith (SCSORF) scale. In this study, a translation and validation for SCSORF Malay Version (SCSORF-M) is
done, and subsequently used to look for the association between religiosity and mental health in
adolescents. Fifty questionnaire papers have been distributed to 50 students in secondary schools in
district of Kuantan. The mean score for depression, anxiety, and stress are 5.83, 5.59, and 8.34
respectively. Only 10 (24.4%) have no depression, 9 (22%) have no anxiety, and 13 (31.7%) have no
stress. The mean score for SCSORF-M scale was 35.3 (range 25-40). Family income has shown to
correspond negatively with the depression, anxiety, and stress, while religiosity has shown to be
correlating negatively with depression and stress, but positive correlation with anxiety. SCSORF-M has
positive convergent correlation with Duke’s University Religiosity Index Malay Version (DUREL-M) in all
domains. SCSORF-M has shown good Cronbach’s alpha value (0.84). In conclusion, religiosity is an
important factor to contribute to the outcome of mental health among adolescents. SCSORF-M can be
used as an assessment tool for religiosity. |
