    Abstract: 
    Spirituality, as an effective factor, plays a significant role in the physical and mental health of individuals, especially adolescents. Paying attention to this variable becomes more necessary than ever before, when an individual loses his parent and guardian. This paper seeks to study the effectiveness of spiritual component educations on reducing the feeling of loneliness and increasing self-esteem on the teens of orphanage. The sample consisted of 40 adolescents living in orphanages of Kerman province, who were randomly assigned to four groups. The spiritual components were presented to the two experimental groups in 10 sessions of 90 minutes, and the two control groups did not receive a program. According to the statistical method, pretest was taken from the only one test group and a control group before implementing the therapeutic plan, but after its implementation, all four groups responded to the questionnaire forms of loneliness and self-esteem. The findings show that educating the spiritual teachings had a significant effect on reducing the adolescent feeling of loneliness (0/05>P), but it has not been effective on the element of self-esteem. The spiritual components provide prosperity and happiness for man by refining and reconstructing the internal and external aspects of individuals.

    Title :اثربخشی آموزش مؤلفه‌های معنوی بر احساس تنهایی و حرمت نفسِ دانش‌آموزان پرورشگاهی
    Abstract: 
    «معنویت» به عنوان یک عامل مؤثر، نقش مهمی بر سلامت جسم و روان افراد و به ویژه نوجوانان ایفا می کند. توجه به این متغیر، زمانی که فرد بدون والد و سرپرستی باشد، بیش از گذشته ضرورت می یابد. این پژوهش، با هدف اثربخشی آموزش مؤلفه های معنوی، بر احساس تنهایی و حرمت نفس، در نوجوانان پرورشگاهی انجام شد. نمونه پژوهش، 40 نوجوان ساکن در پرورشگاه های شهر کرمان بودند که به صورت تصادفی در چهار گروه قرار گرفتند. به دو گروه آزمایشی، مؤلفه های معنوی در 10 جلسه 90 دقیقه ای ارائه شد و دو گروه کنترل، برنامه ای دریافت نکردند. با توجه به روش آماری، فقط از یک گروه آزمایش و یک گروه کنترل پیش از اجرای برنامه درمانی پیش آزمون گرفته شد، اما پس از اجرای برنامه‌ی درمانی، هر 4 گروه به پرسش نامه های احساس تنهایی و حرمت نفس پاسخ دادند. نتایج نشان داد که آموزش مؤلفه های معنوی تأثیر معناداری بر احساس تنهایی نوجوانان داشته است (05/0P<)، اما بر مؤلفه حرمت نفس اثربخش نبوده است. مؤلفه های معنوی، با اصلاح و بازسازی و سپس، نوسازی درونی و برونی افراد، زمینه رشد، شکوفایی و رستگاری او فراهم می کند.
