<![CDATA[Menopause is a natural phase in a woman's life marked by the cessation of ovarian function and hormonal changes in estrogen and progesterone, often accompanied by physical and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, stress, and depression. One possible way to deal with these changes is to practice mindfulness, especially Islamic mindfulness, which is in line with Islamic values. This study aims to examine the correlation between Islamic mindfulness and levels of anxiety, stress, and depression among menopausal women. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 82 menopausal women selected using accidental sampling. The Islamic Mindfulness Questionnaire-16 was used to measure Islamic mindfulness, and the DASS-21 questionnaires were used to measure depression, anxiety, and stress. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Spearman rank correlation test. The results indicated that the women were aged 45–59 years, with a mean age of 54 years. Most respondents had been menopausal for 3–4 years and were married (52.4%). The average Islamic mindfulness score was 37 points. Respondents experienced very severe anxiety (12.2%), very severe stress (18.3%), and very severe depression (8.5%). There was a weak but significant negative correlation between Islamic mindfulness and stress (r = -0.244; p = 0.027) and between Islamic mindfulness and depression (r = -0.327; p = 0.003). While there is a very weak and non- significant negative correlation between Islamic mindfulness and anxiety (r = -0.156; p = 0.151). Higher levels of Islamic mindfulness were associated with lower levels of stress and depression. We recommended that menopausal women enhance Islamic mindfulness to reduce stress and depression.]]>
