Abstract

The high incidence of mental health disorders in academic students has alarmed both universities and government agencies. Most studies on mental health demonstrate their positive association with spirituality-related constructs. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether two intervention programs focusing on life quality influenced the levels of spirituality in college students. There were 107 participants in the “Life Skills Program” and 48 in the “Interculturality and Mindfulness Program”. A sociodemographic questionnaire and the “Spirituality Scale in Health Contexts” were used with pre- and post-test measures. There was an increase in spirituality in both intervention programs. It demonstrates the tendency of programs based on the quality of life promotion raising levels of spirituality.
