Abstract: (337 Views)
Background and Objectives: Adapting to COVID-19, as a stressful experience, is a challenging process that poses significant problems for affected individuals. One of the crucial issues in diseases, especially during epidemics, is the need to focus on the mental dimension and mental health of society and patients in the face of illness. A key component of mental health is resilience. The present study was designed and implemented to investigate the relationship between spiritual health and resilience of patients with COVID-19 in hospitals accepting COVID-19 patients in Qom Province, Iran.
Methods: In this correlational and cross-sectional study, 215 patients with COVID-19 were selected to participate using convenience sampling. The participants were asked to complete a demographic information checklist, as well as Paloutzian and Ellison’s spiritual health questionnaire and Connor-Davidson’s resilience questionnaire. Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used to analyze the data using SPSS software, version 26.
Results: The results showed a significant and positive relationship between the score of spiritual health and the level of resilience of patients with COVID-19. The results showed no significant relationship between any of the variables—age, gender, employment status, underlying disease, marital status, economic status, inpatient department and level of education—and the patients’ spiritual health scores or their resilience.
Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between spiritual health and resilience of patients with COVID-19. Considering the essential role of mental health in enhancing resilience and facilitating the return of these patients to normal life, the healthcare team must pay special attention to this issue.
