Abstract
The landscape of persuasive technologies within digital health interventions has witnessed diverse implementations, employing various strategies to tackle a broad spectrum of health and wellness issues. However, the infusion of persuasive technology with a spiritual approach intertwined with cultural and religious elements remains largely unexplored. While the Islamic spiritual approach has demonstrated effectiveness in inducing changes in attitudes and behaviors, especially concerning sexual behavior problems, such approaches are predominantly confined to face-to-face interactions within adolescents? rehabilitation and guidance centers. This study, therefore, endeavors to discern the features of self-management interventions tailored for adolescents, incorporating Islamic spiritual components along with relevant persuasive design principles. The study employs TUDER for creating digital spiritual interventions that integrate behavioral change strategies with persuasive design principles. The synthesis of these components aims to formulate a comprehensive model framework for the development of digital Islamic spirituality for early interventions. Through the identification of seven self-management characteristics, seven Islamic spiritual components, and 13 persuasive design principles, the proposed model framework underwent rigorous content validity evaluation by nine experts spanning the fields of human-computer interaction, persuasive technology, system development, and the Islamic spiritual domain and communication. This model framework holds promising potential as a foundational blueprint for the development of web-based intervention platforms.
