Objective: Various variables in the research literature predict people's mental and spiritual health. This study aims to investigate the fitness of a proposed model based on research literature in police forces, in which metacognitive beliefs are presented as predictor variables, mental health and spiritual health as criterion variables and cognitive strategies for emotion regulation are presented as mediating variables.
Method: The current research is descriptive and correlational and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population includes all the employees of the Tehran Police Commands in 2023. The research sample is 294 people, selected using a convenient sampling method. Participants responded to questionnaires on mental health (GHQ), spiritual health (SWBS), metacognitive beliefs (MCQ), and cognitive strategies of emotion regulation (CERQ). Structural equation modelling and SPSS 22 and Amos 24 software were used for data analysis.
Findings: The fit indices of the model were not acceptable (RMSEA=0.07, CFI=0.88, GFI=0.87), and it was because the path from metacognitive beliefs to spiritual health was not significant (Coeficient=-0.08, P> 0.05), after removing this path fit indices improved and were acceptable (RMSEA=0.06, CFI=0.90, GFI=0.91). The direct and indirect paths from metacognitive beliefs to mental health (P < 0.01) were significant. Still, the indirect path from metacognitive beliefs to spiritual health through cognitive emotion regulation strategies (P < 0.01) was significant.
Conclusion: The results showed that metacognitive beliefs significantly predict mental and spiritual health directly and indirectly through cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
