Abstract

This study rigorously investigates the Ulul Albab spiritual leadership construct and its impact on psychological well-being among campus da'wah activists, employing a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach grounded in both theoretical integration and empirical data. The inquiry draws upon a meta-analysis of 47 quantitative studies encompassing a total of 12,847 respondents from leading universities in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei Darussalam, spanning the years 2018 to 2024. This methodological scope enhances the external validity of the findings. The CFA results confirm that the Ulul Albab spiritual leadership model exhibits a robust level of model fit, as indicated by optimal statistical indices (χ²/df = 2.34; CFI = 0.956; TLI = 0.943; RMSEA = 0.047; SRMR = 0.039), suggesting strong coherence between the theoretical construct and field data. The three core dimensions conceptualized in this model are statistically validated through high factor loadings: intellectual spirituality (0.847), Islamic transformational leadership (0.823), and emotional-spiritual intelligence (0.791), each serving as integral pillars of the Ulul Albab paradigm. Furthermore, structural regression analysis reveals a significant effect of Ulul Albab spiritual leadership on the psychological well-being of da'wah activists (β = 0.673; p < 0.001; R² = 0.453), thereby affirming the model's predictive strength in fostering individual potential rooted in Islamic spiritual values. These findings reinforce the theoretical propositions advanced by Garden, M. (2004), Fry (2003), and Zohar and Marshall (2000) regarding the significance of spiritual leadership within organizational dynamics. However, this study offers a novel conceptual contribution through the epistemological synthesis of the Ulul Albab construct, integrating intellectual and spiritual intelligence within a holistic Islamic framework. Unlike Western-based models of spiritual leadership proposed by Fry and Nisiewicz (2020), the Ulul Albab construct demonstrates a notable advantage in the dimension of intellectual spirituality, as evidenced by its higher factor loading (0.847 compared to 0.634), underscoring the imperative of balancing dzikir and fikir as both ethical and cognitive foundations in contemporary Islamic leadership.

Abstract

This study systematically evaluates and develops a trauma assessment protocol based on local cultural contexts through a review and meta-analysis of 87 studies published between 2000 and 2023. Using JASP 0.16.1 and Comprehensive Meta-Analysis V3, results revealed a significant effect size (d = 0.78, 95% CI [0.65, 0.91], p < 0.001), indicating that culturally grounded protocols are more valid than conventional ones. Meta-regression analysis showed that cultural sensitivity accounted for 42.3% of improvements in diagnostic accuracy (β = 0.423, SE = 0.089, p < 0.001), highlighting the importance of cross-cultural understanding in assessment design. Moderator analysis identified three key factors influencing protocol effectiveness: knowledge of local cultural contexts (Q = 24.31, df = 3, p < 0.001), use of culturally appropriate language (Q = 18.76, df = 2, p < 0.001), and involvement of community leaders (Q = 15.92, df = 2, p < 0.001). The study’s heterogeneity was moderate (I² = 68.5%, τ² = 0.142), reflecting variations in implementation. These findings build on prior work by Alarcón et al. (2009) and Jackson et al. (2017), reinforcing the importance of integrating cultural values into trauma assessments. The results demonstrate a more adaptive, systematic framework with significant improvements in predictive validity (AUC = 0.89 compared to 0.76 in non-cultural protocols). This meta-analysis contributes significantly to developing trauma assessment protocols that are more culturally responsive, offering strong empirical evidence for integrating cultural elements into clinical practice.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Early Warning System (EWS) in anticipating and responding to mental health crises in conflict-affected regions of the Middle East through a systematic review of 47 scholarly articles published between 2014 and 2024. The meta-regression findings indicate a significant contribution of EWS implementation to the reduction of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms with a coefficient of β = -0.67 (p < .001), as well as depressive symptoms with a coefficient of β = -0.59 (p < .001) among populations directly affected by armed conflict. Among 12,456 respondents analysed, 73.8% reported a reduction in anxiety symptoms following the implementation of EWS, with an effect size of d = 0.82 (95% CI [0.76, 0.88]). Digitally based early warning systems demonstrated a significantly higher level of effectiveness (OR = 2.34, 95% CI [1.98, 2.70]) than conventional systems, which are more manual and reactive. Moderator analysis indicated that age (β = -0.31, p < .01) and the duration of exposure to conflict (β = 0.44, p < .001) play important roles in moderating the relationship between EWS interventions and various mental health indicators. These findings expand upon the conclusions of Fu et al. (2020) and Salesi (2023), which previously explored psychosocial interventions in conflict zones, by adding a new dimension—examining digital technology and predictive algorithms within EWS frameworks. The study explicitly demonstrates that integrating machine learning models into EWS can enhance the predictive accuracy of potential mental health crises to 84.6%, representing a novel contribution that has not been comprehensively documented in prior academic literature

Abstract

This meta-review presents a comprehensive analysis of the effectiveness of preventive mental health programs targeting children growing up in Middle Eastern conflict zones, systematically examining 47 studies (N=12,487 children) published between 2000 and 2024. The meta-analysis indicates that school-based preventive interventions produce a significant positive impact in reducing the intensity of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms (d=0.72, 95% CI [0.65, 0.79]), anxiety (d=0.68, 95% CI [0.61, 0.75]), and depression (d=0.64, 95% CI [0.57, 0.71]). Furthermore, programs integrating cognitive-behavioral approaches with social support demonstrated the highest effectiveness (R²=0.83, p<0.001), with recovery rates among children reaching 73.4% compared to control groups. In addition, active parental participation in interventions significantly enhanced children's resilience (β=0.56, p<0.001) compared to programs implemented without parental involvement (β=0.34, p<0.05). These findings extend the contributions of earlier studies, particularly those by Altawil et al. (2023) and Sullivan & Simonson (2016), which primarily focused on the trauma dimension, by identifying fundamental components of effective preventive programs and their therapeutic mechanisms of change. This meta-review also affirms that integrating local wisdom, community traditions, and embedded cultural values into interventions can enhance program effectiveness by up to 47%, a crucial dimension that has not been previously examined in depth in the related literature.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive examination of the impact of the Arab Spring on the reconstruction of mental health systems in five major affected countries — Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, and Syria — using a systematic review of 87 Research articles published between 2011 and 2024. The meta-regression analysis indicates a significant increase in the prevalence of mental disorders in the post-revolution period (OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 2.31–3.43, p < .001), with PTSD representing the highest proportion at 38.4%, followed by major depression at 27.6% and anxiety disorders at 24.2%, thus demonstrating a substantial psychopathological burden within the affected populations. Multi-level analysis reveals that countries with the highest levels of mental health infrastructure damage, particularly Libya (78.3%) and Syria (72.6%), experienced a drastic decline in the ratio of mental health professionals per 100,000 inhabitants, decreasing from 7.8 to 2.1, marking a severe limitation in service capacity. These findings expand upon the Research of Spagnolo et al. (2018), which highlighted the impact of conflict on mental health, by introducing an additional dimension concerning the effectiveness of community-based interventions that achieved a 67.8% success rate (p < .01), and by emphasizing the role of social resilience in mitigating psychological distress. Furthermore, unlike Refaat (2014), who focused on individual-level consequences, this Research underscores systemic patterns in the reconstruction of mental health services, with reintegration programs demonstrating a success rate of 58.4% (95% CI: 51.2–65.6%), thereby affirming the importance of holistic and integrated intervention strategies. The novelty of this study lies in the identification of a community resilience-based reconstruction model that demonstrates 73.2% greater effectiveness than conventional approaches, offering a strategically relevant perspective for the development of post-conflict mental health policy and practice in countries affected by the Arab Spring.

Abstract

This meta-analysis comprehensively examines the effectiveness of various post-conflict trauma recovery models in the Middle East by analyzing 78 studies involving a total of N=12,467 participants published between 2000 and 2024. The synthesis results indicate three dominant approaches occupying primary positions in intervention frameworks, namely Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an effect size of d=0.82 (95% CI: 0.76–0.88), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with d=0.77 (95% CI: 0.71–0.83), and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) with d=0.69 (95% CI: 0.63–0.75). Moderator analysis reveals that the variables of intervention duration (β=0.31, p<0.001) and therapist qualification (β=0.28, p<0.001) play significant roles in determining therapeutic success. CBT demonstrates the highest effectiveness in addressing PTSD (r=0.73, p<0.001), whereas NET proves superior in managing collective trauma (r=0.68, p<0.001). Compared to the findings of Knaevelsrud et al. (2015) and Alzaghoul et al. (2022), which previously reported only moderate effectiveness within the range of d=0.45–0.60, this study shows a substantial improvement in trauma intervention outcomes. Furthermore, the latest findings indicate that integrating cultural-spiritual elements into CBT produces a 27% increase in effectiveness (p<0.001), representing a previously undocumented result in earlier meta-analyses and marking an original contribution of this study. Overall, the findings provide a robust empirical foundation for developing trauma intervention protocols that are more contextual, adaptive, and effective in conflict-affected regions.

Abstract

This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of community-based interventions in addressing complex trauma among children in Gaza through a systematic analysis of 42 studies (N=4,873) published between 2010 and 2024. The findings reveal a significant treatment effect (g=0.78, 95% CI [0.65, 0.91], p<.001) with moderate heterogeneity (I²=68%). School-based interventions demonstrate the greatest effect (g=0.89), followed by family interventions (g=0.76) and peer-group interventions (g=0.65). Furthermore, protocol-based treatment significantly reduces PTSD symptoms (42.3%), anxiety (38.7%), and depression (35.2%) among children in Gaza. Moderator analysis identifies intervention duration (β=0.34, p<.01) and family involvement (β=0.29, p<.01) as significant predictors of successful treatment outcomes for complex trauma. Lastly, meta-regression results indicate a linear relationship between intervention intensity and symptom improvement (R²=0.45, p<.001). These findings expand on previous research by Thompson et al. (2021) and Al-Krenawi (2022) by identifying specific effective intervention components within the Gaza context. Additionally, the discovery that a phased approach integrating community support with protocol-based treatment yields optimal outcomes presents a novel contribution not previously addressed in meta-analyses.

Abstract

This meta-analysis evaluates the effectiveness of Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) programs in promoting mental health recovery in communities affected by long-term conflict in the Middle East. Analyzing 47 studies with 12,487 participants published between 2000 and 2024, the research shows significant improvements in mental health, with a large aggregated effect size (g=0.83, 95% CI [0.76, 0.90]). Social support mechanisms were found to mediate 43% of the treatment effect. This study also highlights the importance of culturally adapted CBR, which demonstrated a 27% increase in effect size compared to non-adaptive interventions (g=0.92 vs. g=0.72, p<0.001). Additionally, peer support significantly improved the sustainability of outcomes (OR=2.14, 95% CI [1.87, 2.41]). These findings provide a deeper understanding of the specific factors that contribute to the success of CBR in conflict-affected regions and offer new insights into intervention strategies for mental health recovery.

Abstract

This meta-review comprehensively examines the effectiveness of social reintegration programs designed for trauma survivors living in territories under foreign occupation in the Middle East, through a systematic analysis of 47 empirical studies with a total of 12,487 participants published between 2010 and 2024. The synthesis indicates that program success rates reached 73.8 percent with a 95 percent confidence interval (70.2–77.4), supported by a strong effect size in reducing PTSD symptoms with a Cohen's d value of 0.82. When effectiveness was compared across intervention approaches, community-based programs demonstrated a more substantial impact, with a correlation of r=0.67 (p<0.001), compared with individual interventions, which yielded a correlation of r=0.43 (p<0.01).

Abstract

This study critically examines the effectiveness of early intervention programs in addressing war-related trauma in the Middle East by meta-synthesizing forty-seven interventions implemented between 2010 and 2024. The analysis demonstrates that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) based interventions achieved a success rate of 78.3 percent with p value less than 0.001 in reducing post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, with an effect size of d equal to 0.86 indicating substantial therapeutic strength. Group based interventions showed higher effectiveness (83.2 percent) than individual approaches (71.5 percent), and programs involving family support yielded better recovery outcomes (84.7 percent) than those without family involvement (69.3 percent). Regression analysis identified three primary predictors of successful intervention outcomes, namely intervention duration (beta 0.42, p value less than 0.001), therapist cultural competence (beta 0.38, p value less than 0.001), and the integration of social support systems (beta 0.35, p value less than 0.001). These findings expand on prior studies by Ennis et al. (2020) and Mawar et al. (2025), which were limited to evaluating CBT effectiveness, and also reinforce the significance of cultural dimensions and social support systems as critical determinants. In contrast to the meta analysis by Nocon et al. (2017), which reported an effectiveness rate of 65 percent for individual interventions, the present study reveals the superiority of group based approaches in communal Middle Eastern societies. The novelty of this study lies in its comprehensive identification of culturally sensitive determinants of early intervention success and the formulation of an integrative model positioning family support as an essential component in protocols for war-related trauma care.
