Abstract

Krisis kesehatan mental global dalam beberapa tahun terakhir menuntut adanya modalitas terapi alternatif yang terjangkau, salah satunya melalui terapi interaksi dengan hewan, termasuk kucing domestik (Felis catus). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengintegrasikan dampak interaksi kucing terhadap regulasi emosi dan kesehatan mental melalui tinjauan bio-psikologis dan literatur Islam. Studi ini menggunakan metode tinjauan literatur terhadap artikel ilmiah bereputasi (2015-2025) dan teks keagamaan klasik. Hasil studi ini menunjukkan secara biologis, interaksi positif dengan kucing terbukti meningkatkan kadar oksitosin dan menurunkan kortisol pada manusia. Perilaku afeksi kucing, seperti snuggling, memberikan efek menenangkan dan rasa aman. Dalam perspektif Islam, kucing memiliki kedudukan mulia berdasarkan sunnah Nabi Muhammad SAW, yang memberikan legitimasi religius dan memperkuat ikatan emosional pemilik Muslim. Meskipun terdapat risiko zoonosis, edukasi preventif dapat memitigasi kecemasan pemilik. Integrasi antara dukungan biologis dan nilai spiritual menjadikan interaksi dengan kucing sebagai strategi non-farmakologis yang efektif untuk mendukung kesejahteraan psikologis.

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.
