    Title :پیش‌بینی سلامت‌ عمومی بر اساس عمل به اعتقادات‌ دینی و بخشودگی
    Abstract: 
    از موضوعاتی که سلامت عمومی را تحت تأثیر قرار می دهد، اعتقادات دینی و بخشش در روابط بین فردی است. این پژوهش با هدف تبیین سلامت عمومی، بر اساس عمل به اعتقادات دینی و بخشش انجام شد. روش پژوهش، توصیفی از نوع همبستگی بود. جامعه‌ی آماری شامل دانشجویان دانشگاه بوعلی سینا همدان، در سال تحصیلی 96-95 بود که از میان آنان، 384 نفر با روش نمونه گیری تصادفی خوشه ای برای مطالعه انتخاب شدند. ابزار جمع آوری اطلاعات در این مطالعه، شامل مقیاس های عمل به اعتقادات دینی، بخشودگی بین فردی و سلامت عمومی بود. یافته های حاصل از ضریب همبستگی پیرسون نشان داد که بین بخشودگی و عمل به اعتقادات دینی با سلامت عمومی رابطه مثبت و معنا دار وجود دارد (001/0p<). نتایج تحلیل رگرسیون همزمان نیز نشان داد که عمل به اعتقادات دینی و بخشودگی، به طور معنا داری توان پیش بینی سلامت عمومی را دارند (001/0p<). این پژوهش، نقش اعتقادات مذهبی و بخشش در سلامت عمومی دانشجویان را مورد تأیید قرار می دهد. به نظر می رسد، این ویژگی ها می توانند در رسیدن به سلامت روانی و جسمی افراد نقش بسزایی داشته باشند.
