Background & Aims: Intelligence as a cognitive ability was proposed by Alfred Bean in the early 20th century, but in the last two decades the concept of intelligence has expanded to other areas such as natural intelligence, existential intelligence and spiritual intelligence. Salvi considered human intelligence not only as a set of limited cognitive abilities, but also as having an emotional aspect. Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is generally known as mathematical analytical intelligence or cognitive-linguistic intelligence. Cognitive, social and emotional intelligence have been advocated as essential elements for participation in professional activity. More recently, spiritual intelligence has been added to the set of skills required by professionals. The term spiritual intelligence was introduced in 1997 and the concept was based on the belief systems of ancient civilizations, Eastern religions and indigenous cultures. In addition, psychological theories such as positive decay theory and neuroscientific evidence helped shape the conceptual development of spiritual intelligence. Spiritual intelligence has been described as the ability of an individual to use transcendent spiritual capacities and resources in practical contexts and situations. Spiritual intelligence is an internal capacity to achieve a high level of self-awareness that gives an individual the ability to distinguish right from wrong, face problems, and increase flexibility in different situations. Spiritual intelligence is considered an integrated intelligence that connects the emotional and rational intelligence of an individual and is therefore considered the ultimate intelligence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual intelligence and spiritual health well-being in nurses in hospitals in Fasa city.
Methods: The present study is an applied research in terms of its purpose and a descriptive correlational study in terms of its nature. The statistical population included all nurses in all departments of public hospitals in Fasa city, including the cardiac, ICU, CCU, internal, infectious, obstetrics, laboratory, physiotherapy, dermatology, radiology, operating room, maternity operating room, gynecological surgery, male surgery, emergency, emergency neurology, adult neurology, and pediatric neurology in the year (1401-1402). Using the available sampling method and the Tabachnik and Fidel formula (N≥50 + 8M), which is based on considering the number of variables and considering the minimum sample size for regression analysis, as well as considering the dropout and distortion of the questionnaires, 223 questionnaires were collected, of which 23 questionnaires were distorted and were excluded from the study, as a result, 200 people entered the study. For this purpose, the researcher visited the hospital and distributed the questionnaires among the volunteer nurses of the hospital and, taking into account the confidentiality of the information, collected the research data. The inclusion criteria were: being a volunteer and not having mental problems. The entire research analysis process was carried out using SPSS version 20 and PLS version 3 software.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the dimensions of spiritual intelligence and spiritual health, so that spiritual intelligence has an effect of 0.805 on spiritual health. Of the 200 samples studied in terms of gender from the highest to the lowest; 161 (80.5%) were female and 39 (19.5%) were male. In terms of education level, from the highest to the lowest percentage, 132 (66%) had a bachelor's degree, 56 (28%) had a master's degree, and 12 (6%) had a doctorate. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test scores for the spiritual health and spiritual intelligence variables (p<0.05) showed that the range of scores was within the normal range. When there is a perfect linear relationship between the predictors, the regression model estimate alone cannot be calculated. The word collinear indicates that two variables are close to a perfect linear combination of each other. Collinearity for the variables in this study is presented in Table 3. According to Table (3), the VIF values in all paths and variables do not have variance inflation and also have high tolerance coefficients. As a result, the high tolerance coefficient and low variance inflation indicate non-collinearity and suitability of the regression model.
Conclusion: Given the important and widespread implications of nursing that has spiritual performance, it is necessary to examine the comprehensive and complex effects that spiritual intelligence induces for nurses and their professional performance. Spiritual intelligence is the ultimate intelligence that reflects values and meanings, covers mental adaptation capacities, and leads to non-material and non-coercive aspects. It includes spiritual resources, values, and characteristics that enhance the daily functioning and health of individuals. People with high spiritual intelligence are beyond the body and materiality, experience an optimal level of consciousness, use spiritual resources to solve problems, and are ultimately characterized by humility, forgiveness, justice, and compassion.
