Background & aim: Nurses working in intensive care units face psychological pressures, difficult ethical decision-making, and numerous critical situations that may predispose them to reduced resilience. Among internal resources, spiritual intelligence can play an important role in enhancing nurses’ adaptability. This study aimed to determine the predictive role of resilience in spiritual intelligence among nurses working in intensive care units of hospitals affiliated with Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2024.
Methods: This descriptive-analytical correlational study was conducted on 223 ICU nurses working in the intensive care units of six selected hospitals in Tehran, chosen using a multi-stage sampling method. Data collection tools included Abdullahzadeh’s Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire (29 items) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (25 items). The validity and reliability of the tools were confirmed in previous studies. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis in SPSS software.
Results: Findings showed that the mean of spiritual intelligence, and resilience were 123.43 ± 21.426, 80.84 ± 18.165, respectively. Among most nurses, levels of spiritual intelligence and resilience were high. A significant positive correlation was observed between spiritual intelligence and resilience (r = 0.744, P = 0.001). Approximately 55% of the variance in spiritual intelligence among intensive care nurses was explained by occupational resilience. Moreover, for each one-unit increase in resilience, spiritual intelligence increased by 0.774 units (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Considering the protective role of spiritual intelligence, designing and implementing educational programs and workshops to enhance spirituality in nursing settings can improve nurses’ mental health and enhance the quality of patient care. |
