Bireyin karşılaştığı problem(ler)i çözebilmek için herhangi bir eylemde bulunmaksızın, hissettiği duygu ve problem(ler)in olası sebep-sonuçlarını sürekli olarak düşünmesi şeklinde karakterize edilen ruminatif düşünce, zihnin sağlıklı bir şekilde çalışmasını engelleyen ve böylece günlük hayatın akışına etki eden bir ruhsal durumdur. Manevi iyilik hali ise bireyin ahlak ve etik değerleri de dahil olmak üzere yaşamdaki anlam ve amaç duygusunu genişletmesini ifade etmektedir. Bu yönüyle manevi iyilik hali, sağlıklı yaşamın özü olarak kabul edilmektedir. Araştırmada birbirleri ile bağlantılı olduğu düşünülen her iki kavramın arasındaki ilişki, 2022-2023 yıllarında Erciyes Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesinde öğrenim gören 472 kişilik bir örneklem üzerinde incelenmektedir. Araştırmada Ingersoll (1995) tarafından geliştirilen ve Duyan ve ark. (2021) tarafından Türkçeleştirilen Manevi İyilik Hali Envanteri, Brinker ve Dozois (2009) tarafından geliştirilen ve Karatepe (2010) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan Ruminatif Düşünme Biçimi Ölçeği ile kişisel bilgi formu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda katılımcıların %81’inin (n=382) ruminatif düşünceye oldukça eğilimli olduğu, Manevi İyilik Hali Envanteri açısından ortalamanın üzerinde bir puan aldıkları, Ruminatif Düşünce Biçimi Ölçeği açısından cinsiyetin anlamlı farklılaşmaya sebep olmadığı, ancak Manevi İyilik Hali Envanteri’nde cinsiyetler açısından kadınların lehine anlamlı bir farklılığın bulunduğu, sınıfın Ruminatif Düşünce Biçimi Ölçeği, Manevi İyilik Hali Envanteri ve Kutsallık, Anlam, Bağlantılılık, Umut ve Sahte İyilik boyutlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılaşma meydana getirdiği, ruminatif düşünce eğiliminin yaş ilerledikçe arttığı, her iki ölçek arasında negatif bir korelasyon olduğu, ayrıca Anlam, An merkezcilik, Gizem, Umut ve Manevi özgürlüğün ruminasyon üzerinde %19,5 oranında negatif bir etkiye sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir.

The Relationships between Ruminative Thinking and Spiritual Wellness among Students in Theology Faculty

Öz

Ruminative thinking, which is characterized as continuously thinking about the feelings and possible causes and consequences of the problem(s) without taking any action to solve the problem(s) faced by the individual, is a mental state that prevents the mind from working in a healthy way and thus affects the flow of daily life. Spiritual well-being, on the other hand, refers to the expansion of the individual's sense of meaning and purpose in life, including moral and ethical values. In this respect, spiritual well-being is considered to be the essence of a healthy life. In this study, the relationship between these two concepts, which are thought to be related to each other, is examined on a sample of 472 students studying at Erciyes University Faculty of Theology in 2022-2023. In the study, the Spiritual Well-Being Inventory developed by Ingersoll (1995) and translated into Turkish by Duyan et al. (2021), the Ruminative Thinking Style Scale developed by Brinker and Dozois (2009) and adapted into Turkish by Karatepe (2010), and a personal information form were used. As a result of the research, 81% of the participants (n=382) were highly prone to ruminative thinking, they scored above the average in terms of Spiritual Well-Being Inventory, gender did not cause a significant difference in terms of Ruminative Thinking Style Scale, but there was a significant difference in favor of women in terms of gender in Spiritual Well-Being Inventory, and class was found to be a significant difference in Ruminative Thinking Style Scale, It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the Spiritual Well-being Inventory and the dimensions of Sacredness, Meaning, Connectedness, Hope and False Well-being, that the tendency of ruminative thinking increased with increasing age, that there was a negative correlation between both scales, and that Meaning, Mother-centeredness, Mystery, Hope and Spiritual freedom had a negative effect of 19.5% on rumination.
