Abstract :
Introduction & Objective: Spiritual health is one of the important dimensions of human health and an important approach in promoting public health. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the level of spiritual health in Iranian nurses. Methods: This study was performed by meta-analysis. All related studies of nurses' spiritual health were searched in the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Magiran, and SID databases and the Google Scholar search engine by the end of 22July 2021 with the appropriate keywords. In this study, the heterogeneity of studies was evaluated using index I2 and the probability of diffusion in diffusion by Egger test and Meta regression model to evaluate the variables suspected of heterogeneity at a significance level of 0.05. 16 articles were analyzed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software. Results: Based on a random model, the rate of spiritual health in Iranian nurses was 82.53 ± 2.81 (77.02-88.04: 95% confidence interval). The mean and standard deviation of religious and existential health were 37.60± 7.30 and 37.38±7.75, respectively. There was a significant relationship between sample size, year, mean age and spiritual health (P <0.05). Conclusion: According to the research findings, the level of spiritual health was optimal. Therefore, given the country's adherence to moral values, achieving such a result is not unexpected.
