Abstract

Background and Objective: University is considered a positive opportunity for personal development; however, students often face challenges when they are at university. HOMESICKNESS is among the most frequently reported concerns of DORMITORY STUDENTS. This study aimed to investigate the relationship of SELF-ESTEEM and SPIRITUALITY to HOMESICKNESS among DORMITORY STUDENTS of Razi University in Kermanshah, Iran in 1395.Method: The study is descriptive and correlational. All female and male students who were living in dormitories of Razi University in school year of 94-95 formed the statistical population. 322 of them were selected based on Morgan table, using multi-stage cluster sampling. Research instruments were self-concept questionnaire (1976), SPIRITUALITY questionnaire by Corp and Downing (2009), and HOMESICKNESS questionnaire by Archer (1998). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient, and regression. In this study, all ethical issues were carefully observed and the authors declare no conflict of interest.Results: The results showed that there is a significant negative relationship between SELF-ESTEEM and HOMESICKNESS (p<.01); also SPIRITUALITY and HOMESICKNESS (p<.001). Data analysis also demonstrated that SPIRITUALITY can predict the extent of HOMESICKNESS among university students living in dormitories (p<.001).Conclusion: According to the findings of this research, SPIRITUALITY and SELF-ESTEEM can be perceived as complementary tools to reduce HOMESICKNESS. It seems that when dealing with HOMESICKNESS, these two variables should be taken into account.
