Publication Islamic Psychospiritual Self-Care as a Counselling Intervention to Enhance Well-Being of Mental Health Clients: A Conceptual Paper(Penerbit USIM, 2022) ;Fathiah Shamsuddin ;Siti Nubailah Mohd YusofNurhafizah Mohd. SukorThe recent global health crisis caused by the rapidly spreading Covid-19 pandemic has sparked a great deal of interest and concern about the escalating burden and troubling problems of mental health disorders around the world, particularly in Malaysia. The Ministry of Health Malaysia reported a prevalence of 29% among adults, a threefold increase from 10% in 1996, indicating a high incidence of suicidal behaviour. Indeed, as the country's economic burden grows, mental illness is one of the leading causes of disability and health loss. While there have been numerous evidence-based methods of psychotherapy and counselling interventions available, including psychoanalysis, behaviourism, cognitive psychology, and humanistic psychology; all of these approaches emerged from western and secular worldviews. They refute man's dualistic nature and the purpose and reason for his creation, employ non-judgmental principles in the non-indoctrination of religious beliefs and values during treatment, are incompatible with the Islamic approach, and have been deemed ineffective. Adolescent mental health issues have made it abundantly clear that they must be addressed and resolved, and Islamic-based psychospiritual approaches for psychological psychotherapy and counselling treatments and interventions based on the Al Quran and Sunnah should be investigated further. As a result, the purpose of this concept paper is to review the literature on mental health and the impact of the most common mental issues like depression, anxiety, and stress, both globally and in Malaysia, as well as the spiritual and religious counselling treatment and interventions available, particularly in self-care counselling treatment from Islamic perspectives.
