| Summary: | This study aimed to determine the effect of pastoral counseling on the psycho-spiritual well-being of the seminarians. It utilized the pretest-posttest control group experimental design. Thirty-two seminarians participated in the study. The seminarians were randomly assigned to
the experimental group and the control group, with 14 participants and 18 participants, respectively. The saliva pH strips and the Psychological General Well-Being Index (PGWBI) were used to measure the psychological well-being, while the Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire
(SWBQ) was used to measure spiritual well-being. The results of the study revealed that there was a significant difference in psycho-spiritual well-being between the experimental group and the control group after the strategic pastoral counseling. The findings suggest implications in
strategic pastoral counseling as an effective program for the improvement and sustainability of the psycho-spiritual well-being of the seminarians. |
