Background and aims: Spiritual well-being stands out as a crucial element of human health that enhances an individual's adaptive capacity. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between spiritual health and self-efficacy among nursing students at a military university in Tehran.
Methods: This cross-sectional (descriptive-analytical) study was carried out in the years 2022-23 at a military nursing school. A total of 220 undergraduate nursing students were selected through a census method, with 190 students ultimately participating in the study. Data were collected using an individual characteristics questionnaire, the Ellison and Paltzion Spiritual Health Questionnaire, and the Sherer General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire.
Results: The average scores for spiritual health (75.27±6.72) and self-efficacy (47.92±6.5) among nursing students fell within the moderate range. A positive and statistically significant relationship was observed between the spiritual health and self-efficacy of nursing students (r=0.313, p<0.001). Additionally, a positive correlation was found between self-efficacy and both educational semester (r=0.238, p=0.001) and age (r=0.248, p=0.001). However, no significant relationship was identified between spiritual health and any of the students’ individual variables.
Conclusion: The findings of this study underscore the significance of spiritual health in bolstering the self-efficacy of nursing students. It is therefore recommended to focus on promoting spiritual health among nursing students as a means to enhance their self-efficacy.
