Abstract: (848 Views)
Background and Objectives: One of the most important stages of life is the student period, which is associated with various changes. In this study, the relationship between spiritual health and psychological coherence with hope for the future career of medical students of Ferdows Faculty of Medical Sciences was investigated.
Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study, in which some of the medical students of Ferdows Faculty of Medical Sciences selected by a multi-stage stratified random sampling method were studied. Data were collected using the Qureshi Rad employment hope questionnaire, the psychological coherence questionnaire, and the spiritual health of Polotzin and Ellison (1982). To analyze the data, SPSS software version 16 was used with a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The spiritual health and psychological coherence of the students were found to be average, while their hope for a future career was high. There was a positive and significant relationship between spiritual health and psychological coherence (P<0.05). However, a positive and significant relationship was found between hope for a future career, psychological cohesion, and spiritual health. Also, the psychological cohesion of male and married students was higher than that of single and female students.
Conclusion: Since hope for the future of work in students is of particular importance and has a direct effect on increasing psychological coherence and spiritual health, it is suggested that the families and relevant officials put the necessary training to improve these two important factors in their agenda.
