my.unimap-561382018-10-12T02:28:50Z Spiritual Intelligence on Health Behaviours Among Malaysian University Students In a Malaysian Public University: The Mediating Role Of Self Efficacy Roxana Dev, Omar Dev Tengku Fadilah, Tengku Kamalden Soh, Kim Geok Ahmad Fauzi, Mohd Ayub Ismi Arif, Ismail rdod@upm.edu.my Spiritual intelligence Self-efficacy Health behaviour Undergraduates Link to publisher's homepage at http://www.mohejournal.com/index.php/mohe University students experience a substantial amount of change where they progress from the highly controlled setting of school to the self-motivated environment of the university. Many changes which involve social, financial, and environment elements, can be a burden to the students putting them at risk in negative health behaviours. Negative health behaviours among university students are a cause for concern since they have a tendency to be carried into adulthood, which may cause the emergence of chronic disease at a younger age. Spiritual intelligence together with self-efficacy is seen to promote better health behaviour. Therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy on health behaviours among university students in Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia. A correlational study was conducted on 400 undergraduate university students living on campus and were chosen through stratified random sampling technique using closed ended questionnaires (The Spiritual Self-Report Inventory, General Self Efficacy Scale and a modified version of Health Style Questionnaire). Pearson correlation and structural equation modelling were used to explore association between these aspects. Spiritual intelligence, self-efficacy and health behaviour were significantly correlated. Self-efficacy showed a partial mediation effect towards the relationship between spiritual intelligence and promoting health behaviour (p=0.000). Thus, an association was found between spiritual intelligence with health behaviour, and self-efficacy with health behaviour. It is interpreted that spiritual intelligence can boost positive health behaviour and it is associated with self-efficacy relevantly gives benefit to health behaviour. Such data have important implications for both health practice and policy, especially in the context of higher education institutions. 2018-10-12T02:28:50Z 2018-10-12T02:28:50Z 2018 Article Movement, Health & Exercise (MoHE), vol.7(2), 2018, pages 53-64 2231-9409 (Print) 2600-9404 (Online) http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/xmlui/handle/123456789/56138 en Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi (KPT), Malaysia |
