Abstract

As individuals age, they experience a natural decline in physical and cognitive function, increasing their vulnerability to various health problems, including depression. This condition may lead to reduced cognitive ability, diminished physical functioning, social withdrawal, poor sleep quality, and an elevated risk of suicide. Depression is more prevalent among older adults residing in nursing homes compared to those living with their families, and has been shown to negatively affect nearly all dimensions of quality of life. In Islamic teachings, caring for the elderly is a moral and spiritual obligation that emphasizes respect, compassion, and the fulfillment of their rights. This study aims to analyze the effect of depression level on the quality of life of older adults living in nursing homes and to examine these findings from an Islamic perspective. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 77 respondents selected through simple random sampling. Of these, 16 respondents experienced depression and 5 were identified as having poor quality of life. The chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.000, indicating a statistically significant association between depression level and quality of life. These findings highlight the impact of depression on the well-being of older adults and underscore the importance of providing humane, person-centered care aligned with religious values.

Abstract

Ophidiophobia is a specific phobia with strong evolutionary roots that significantly impacts individuals’ quality of life and clinical functioning. Although exposure therapy remains the gold standard treatment, its effectiveness is often limited by patient resistance and high anticipatory anxiety. This study aims to synthesize existing literature on the neurobiological mechanisms underlying snake phobia, identify key morphological triggers, and explore the potential integration of psychospiritual interventions based on the narrative of Prophet Moses. A systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, using databases such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar for publications between 2015 and 2025. Study quality was assessed using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. The findings indicate that the human brain possesses a visual detection system highly sensitive to specific scale patterns and curvilinear shapes, triggering rapid responses via the amygdala pathway. Exposure therapy facilitates fear extinction through neuroplastic processes involving prefrontal regulation. The integration of religious narratives may support cognitive reappraisal as a complementary approach. This study proposes an integrative framework to enhance culturally adaptive therapeutic strategies.
