Objective: The purpose of this study were to examine the relationship between Islamic faith, resilience, social support, and the psychological well-being of Muslim mothers. Purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 100 Muslim mothers who have children being treated in the NICU of secondary and tertiary hospitals in three Southern border provinces. A standardized interview was used to collect data through six questionnaires including 1) a demographic questionnaire for mothers 2) a demographic and health of infants record form, 3) an Islamic Faith Questionnaire, 4) Resilience Inventory, 5) The Modified Version of Social Support Questionnaire, and 6) a Psychological Well-being Scale-Thai. The content validity index of the Islamic Faith Questionnaire yielded a value of 1.00. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was used to examine the reliability of the Islamic Faith Questionnaire, Resilience Inventory, Modified Version of Social Support Questionnaire, and Psychological Well-being Scale-Thai, yielding values of .85, .93, .89, and .67 respectively. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the Psychological Well-being Scale-Thai was .79 when used with a sample of 100 Muslim mothers. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient. The finding showed that Islamic faith and resilience had a moderate significant positive correlation with the psychological well-being of Muslim mothers (rs= .43, p < .001 and r = .31, p < .01, respectively). Social support had a low significant positive correlation with the psychological well-being of Muslim mothers (r = .29, p < .01). The results of this study can be used as a guide to promote the psychological well-being of Muslim mothers by developing a program to enhance Islamic faith, resilience, and social support.
