Background and Aim: The COVID-19 pandemic has had many effects on various aspects of health, including the spiritual health of nurses, and has created challenges. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate nurses' spiritual health and related factors in the post-corona era.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 260 nurses working in the hospitals of Qom University of Medical Sciences who have cared for patients with COVID-19 in recent years, in 2022. Sampling was done by simple random method. The data collection tool was the Spiritual Health questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 23.
Results: The mean spiritual health score was 68.10±7.7 and the mean religious health and existential health were 32.95±4.45 and 35.38±5.04, respectively. Also, gender, marital status, and having a job except for the medical staff explain 43% of the variance in nurses' spiritual health (R=0.436, P=0.001). In the post-corona era, the spiritual health of women was higher than men, and it was higher in married nurses.
Conclusion: The spiritual health of nurses in the post-corona era was at an average level. The male gender, being married, and having a job except for the medical staff were more effective in spiritual health. Therefore, it is suggested that hospital managers consider the necessary plans to improve the spiritual health of nurses. |
