Background and Aim: Resilience is one of the most important determinants of people's health in difficult situations. It has enabled people to view challenges as opportunities for empowerment. Furthermore, resilience has a significant relationship with spiritual health. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between different dimensions of spiritual health and the resilience of students at Shahid Sadougi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the role of prayer in students' resilience.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 264 students at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd during 2021. The measurement tools used in this study were two questionnaires: the Pulotzin Wallison Spiritual Health Questionnaire and the Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, and regression analysis were used for data analysis.
Results: There was a positive and significant relationship between spiritual health (98±6.75) and resilience (64.39±11.21) of students (P<0.05, r=0.56). Regression analysis showed that spiritual health (B=0.522) was the best variable for predicting the dependent variable of resilience. Additionally, the variables of religious health and existential health, with B values of 0.472 and 0.251, respectively, had the greatest impact on predicting the resilience variable.
Conclusion: It is expected that policymakers and implementers of educational programs, with effective planning, will provide the basis for improving the spiritual health of students during their education by incorporating spiritual content and themes into the educational environment and providing suitable spiritual models. |
