Introduction: The attitude of military professors towards life events and job stresses affects their health. If stressful events are considered as SPIRITUAL experience, they cause less harm to people’ s SPIRITUAL health. Objective: The present study was conducted to investigate the correlation between daily SPIRITUAL experience and SPIRITUAL health in professors of military universities. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-cross-sectional study conducted in 2019, 150 military professors were selected using convenience sampling based on the inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation coefficient. Significance level was 0. 05. Results: There was a positive and significant correlation between the score of SPIRITUAL health and SPIRITUAL experience of professors (r = 0. 18, P = 0. 01). The correlation between SPIRITUAL health and daily SPIRITUAL experience in professors in subgroup of selected university A, Selected University B and selected university C was (r=0. 005, P=0. 39: ) (P=0. 02, r= 0. 32) and (r: 0. 04, P=04. 77), respectively, which were statistically significant in selected universities A and B affiliated to the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Discussion and Conclusion: Considering the correlation between SPIRITUAL health and daily SPIRITUAL experience, it is recommended to implement methods to promote SPIRITUAL health, change attitudes toward life events, and religion-oriented struggling with job stress in Faculty Empowerment Program.

The author proposes the practice of SPIRITUAL psychotherapy, which transcends but dose not preclude traditional modalities or strategies of treatment.The terms soul and spirit are distinguished as different transpersonal abstractions, yet are inextricably linked. The former aims at revealing the mystery of relatedness and intimacy in everyday life, the latter at finding the divine in universal life. For the SPIRITUAL therapist, these concepts are applied to a therapeutic context of care and compassion which means love and belief beyond oneself.More specifically, the way to soulfulness requires Love of Others, Love of Work, a94 Love of Bylonging, whereas, the way to SPIRITUALity requires Belief in the Sacred, Belief in Unity, and Belief in Transformation. By cultivating a soulful and SPIRITUAL existence, thus conducting one's clinical practice on the basis of these six tenets of transcendence, the therapist can guide the patient to reach his or her own authentic self.

Background: SPIRITUAL care should be considered an important part of holistic and multidisciplinary care and it has not been given much importance so far. We should begin with student nurses, who will soon be clinicians, tofi nd out about potentiality of the nursing profession to put SPIRITUAL care into practice. Little has been known about SPIRITUAL well-being, SPIRITUALity, and SPIRITUAL care perspectives among nursing students. In this study, a comparison has been made in SPIRITUAL well-being, SPIRITUALity, and SPIRITUAL care perspectives between thefi rst and fourth year baccalaureate nursing students.Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive– comparative study that was carried out among 283 nursing students. All the students were Iranians studying in the universities of Iran, Tehran, and Shahid Beheshti medical sciences. They volunteered to participate in the study. There were 105fi rst year students and 178 fourth year students. The questionnaires used were on SPIRITUAL Well-being (SWB) Scale, SPIRITUAL Perspective Scale (SPS), and Nursing SPIRITUAL Care Perspective Scale (NSCPS). The statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software, version 10. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (distribution frequency, mean, and standard deviation). Mann–Whitney test was to compare each item and independentt -test to compare the mean values of two groups.Results: Regarding SPIRITUAL well-being, there were no signifi cant differences between the two groups.98.8% of the fi rst year students and 100% of the fourth year students were in the category of moderate SPIRITUAL well-being. Neither were there any signifi cant differences between the two groups in SPIRITUAL perspective and SPIRITUAL care perspectives.Conclusions: The scores of fourth year nursing students were similar to those of fi rst year students in SPIRITUAL well-being, SPIRITUALity, and SPIRITUAL care perspectives, though the fourth year students had already undergone 4-year nursing course. Including SPIRITUAL care in the curriculum of nursing students’ courses will add to their understanding and provision of SPIRITUAL care. This willfi ll the present gap evident in the system in Iran. At present, the educational system here does not make use of SPIRITUAL care as part of its comprehensive curriculum.
