Introduction & Purpose: Anxiety in nursing students can affect health. One of the main areas of illness is the feeling of emptiness, futility and mental instability that results from the lack of spiritual health in people. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between spiritual health and anxiety in nursing students of Islamic Azad University, Khorramabad Branch.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a descriptive correlational study in which 210 nursing students of Islamic Azad University Khorramabad Branch participated by census method. The data collection tools were the demographic questionnaire, the standard spiritual health questionnaire of Polutzin and Ellison, and the standard Spielberger Anxiety Questionnaire.SPSS23 software and descriptive and inferential statistical tests (ANOVA, independent t and Pearson) were used to analyze the data. Significant level was considered 0.05.
Results: Of the total nursing students, 136 (64.76%) were female and 153 (72.85%) were single. 60.5% of nursing students had moderate to high anxiety. All nursing students had moderate spiritual health. There was a statistically significant negative relationship between spiritual and existential health with total anxiety (P <0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between religious health and anxiety (P <0.05).
Conclusion: People with good spiritual health can control their anxiety. It is suggested that in theoretical and clinical education of nursing students, more attention be paid to the category of spiritual health and its dimensions as one of the important dimensions of health, and more efforts be made to improve its spiritual health and religious dimension.
