Abstract: (814 Views)
Background and Objectives: Spiritual intelligence (SI) is a combination of many factors such as the capacity for transcendence, transcendental awareness, recognition of spiritual beings, and the use of spiritual resources to solve problems. This study aims to determine the SI of students in Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS) and its relationship with demographic and educational factors.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical study that was conducted on 318 students of KUMS in Kermanshah, Iran in 2017 who were selected using a random sampling method. The data were collected using a self-report questionnaire. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 16.
Results: The Mean±SD of SI was 102.53±22.53. The students obtained 70.7% of the maximum obtainable score for SI. In overall, 75 students (25.3%) had low SI, 213(72%) had moderate SI, and 8(2.7%) had high SI. Older age had a significant relationship with SI (P=0.033).
Conclusion: Most of students in KUMS have moderate SI. It can be improved by educational interventions.
