Kematangan spiritual sebagai faktor protektif terhadap distres psikologis
Abstract
Psychological distress among young adults has become increasingly prevalent due to developmental demands, social pressures, and uncertainties of modern life. Psychological research has predominantly focused on pathological perspectives or cognitive-behavioral coping strategies, while the role of spiritual maturity as a protective factor remains underexplored. This article aims to examine the role of spiritual maturity in reducing psychological distress among young adults through a humanistic psychology and spiritual coping framework. A conceptual-analytical approach was employed by reviewing relevant psychological theories and recent empirical studies on spirituality, psychological well-being, and adaptive coping mechanisms. The analysis indicates that spiritual maturity enhances meaning in life, emotional regulation, self-acceptance, and psychological resilience, which collectively function as protective factors against non-clinical psychological distress. These findings suggest that spiritual maturity extends beyond religious practices and serves as an internal psychological resource that supports mental health. This article contributes to preventive clinical psychology by highlighting the importance of integrating spirituality-based perspectives into mental health promotion and intervention frameworks.
