Abstract
Bullying, loneliness, and academic stress are pressing psychological challenges frequently encountered by students in pesantren settings. This study aimed to investigate the complex interplay between loneliness, academic stress, and bullying among pesantren students, with particular attention to the implications for Islamic spiritual interventions. Employing a correlational research design, the study involved a sample of the students of Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia, drawn through a multistage random sampling technique from a population of 500 pesantren students. Data were gathered using validated and reliable instruments to assess levels of bullying, loneliness, and academic stress. To investigate the associations among the variables, correlation and regression analyses were employed. The results indicated statistically significant positive associations between loneliness and bullying, as well as between academic stress and bullying behavior, indicating that students who are bullied are more likely to experience loneliness and heightened academic stress. These results underscore the importance of addressing these interconnected psychological issues through holistic approaches. The study highlights the potential of Islamic spiritual responses, such as Islamic counseling and spiritual mindfulness practices, in mitigating the negative psychological effects of bullying, loneliness, and academic stress among students.
