Abstract

This study aimed to identify the components of stress controlling based on religious teachings. This is an applied study and a qualitative method with content analysis. The statistical population is composed of sources and documents related to stress controlling based on religious resources (Quran, Nahj-Al-Balaqe.) and experts in education sciences. To select the suitable sample out of experts, non-random sampling method was used and 31 experts have been selected as sample. To verify the proposed pattern, questionnaires have been used to examine the experts’ opinions. Based on the study findings, the components of stress controlling according to religious teachings are religiousness, behavioral conduct, perfectionism, and a healthy lifestyle. The results have shown that people have to be perfectly familiar with the components of stress controlling because religious teachings are able to play a mediator role in stress reduction and may lead to mental and physical health.
