The Relationship between Islamic Life Style, Meaning of Life and Emotional Intelligence with University Students’ Mental Health

The Purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between Islamic lifestyle, meaning of life and emotional intelligence with university students’ mental health. This descriptive study is correlational. A sample of 238 undergraduate and postgraduate students was selected through convenience sampling. The data were collected using the questionnaires of general health, Islamic lifestyle, meaning of life and emotional intelligence. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that Islamic lifestyle and emotional intelligence have a positive and significant relationship with students' mental health, but there is no significant relationship between meaning of life and mental health of students. Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that 16.7 percent of variance of mental health is explained by the variables of Islamic lifestyle, meaning of life and emotional intelligence. Therefore, these variables play a significant role in predicting the mental health of students, and mental health can be improved by providing necessary planning and training.
