“…Third, evidence supported that the spirituality is a significant predictor for quality of life among the nurses during the COVID‐19 pandemic (Cuartero‐Castañer et al, 2021). In sum, individuals with high spirituality have inner strength and resilience that makes them more able to adapt to threatening circumstances, use more effective coping strategies, overcome stressful events, adapt to adversity and have better psychological well‐being that may help to adapt to occupational stress, especially during a crisis like the COVID‐19 pandemic (Hamidia et al, 2020; Zohar et al, 2001).…”

“…According to the information obtained from the correlations of a previous study (Barghandan & Khalatbari, 2017) (r = 0.24, β = 0.2, α = 0.005), the sample size was estimated to be 129. However, our previous study during pandemic showed that some participants did not answer the questions well with online survey (Hamidia et al, 2020). Thus, we estimated the sample size with an attrition risk of 15% in valid questionnaires.…”

Aim This study investigated the impact of spiritual intelligence and demographic factors in the prediction of occupational stress, quality of life and coronavirus anxiety among nurses. Design A cross‐sectional study was planned. Methods The study was conducted among full‐time nurses who were employed in two teaching hospitals of Babol city which were referral centres for caring patients infected with COVID‐19 from February–May 2021. One hundred and twenty‐nine nurses completed five questionnaires including the demographic questions, Quality of life (WHOQOL‐BRIF), Occupational Role Questionnaire (ORQ), Spiritual Intelligence and Coronavirus Anxiety Scale. Results The findings revealed that 69% of the nurses experienced moderate occupational stress, moderate quality of life and low coronavirus anxiety. Spiritual intelligence was the only significant negative predictor of occupational stress ( β = −0.517, p = <0.001). The only positive predictor of quality of life was perceived income adequacy. Predicting factors of coronavirus anxiety were the perceived income adequacy as protective ( β = −0.221, p = 0.022) and the number of children as predisposing ( β = 0.401, p = 0.004) factors. These findings should be considered when planning nursing interventions for improvement of occupational stress, quality of life and anxiety especially during crises like the COVID‐19 pandemic.

“…Málaga et al found that religious beliefs are related to higher levels of empathy ( p = 0.0001) [ 55 ]. In a study conducted by Hamidia et al, “Pearson’s correlation coefficient revealed a strong positive significant relationship between student’s perspective to clinical empathy and spiritual well-being (r = 0.56)” [ 113 ]. About ten years ago, Pawlikowski et al conducted a study and concluded that religiosity is positively associated with empathy (r = 0.20; p < 0.01).…”

The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy—Student version (JSE-S) and its association with potential predictors among Greek-speaking undergraduate medical students. This study adopted a cross-sectional, comparative–descriptive research design. The study was conducted during October and November 2023. Cronbach’s α values for the JSE-S and the factors “perspective taking”, “compassionate care”, and “standing in the patient’s shoes” showed internal consistency. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the JSE-S score in the test–retest study indicated a high level of reliability. The participants showed moderate empathy levels. Females scored higher than males in the Greek version of the JSE-S. Moreover, students enrolled in the fourth academic year showed higher empathy mean scores than those enrolled in the first year. Statistically significant empathy differences by specialty preferences or faith in God/supreme power were not found. The present study provided satisfactory evidence that the Greek JSE-S is a psychometrically sound measurement instrument. Empathy differences by gender were found in line with prior literature.

“…The bottom line is that nurses with high spirituality have resilience and inner strength., which increases their capacity for adapting to threatening situations more skilfully, handle stressful situations, get through conflict, and adjust to adversity. Additionally, they are as regards better psychological health, which may aid their ability to cope with work-related stress [ 35 , 39 ]. These results contribute to hospital administrators, so much so that nursing staff should have their well-being and spiritual intelligence frequently checked by the administration.…”

As they are satisfied with life, nurses who demonstrate spiritual intelligence and well-being at work are tremendous assets to an organisation. This study aimed to determine the mediating effect of spiritual intelligence on the well-being and life satisfaction of nurses in the context of COVID-19. Methods: This research employed a cross-sectional study design. It was conducted in the Hail region of Saudi Arabia. The participants were government hospital nurses who were chosen using a multi-stage sampling method. A total of 1121 (75% response rate) nurses participated in the study. Data gathering was conducted from July to September 2022. Results: The life satisfaction level of the participants was deemed positive. Their well-being was better (10/15), and they rated high in spiritual intelligence (90/120). Life satisfaction had a strong association with well-being (r = 0.640, p < 0.001), but a weak association with spiritual intelligence (r = 0.391, p < 0.001). In comparison, well-being had a moderate association with spiritual intelligence (r = 0.551, p < 0.001). The direct effect of well-being on spiritual intelligence was positive and significant (β = 0.7817, p < 0.0001), and that of spiritual intelligence on life satisfaction was positive and significant (β = 0.1082, p = 0.0257). The direct effect of well-being on life satisfaction was also positive and significant (β = 1.5985, p < 0.0001). Conversely, well-being had an indirect impact on life satisfaction (β = 0.0846), and this effect was significant. Overall, the impact of well-being on life satisfaction was positive and significant (β = 1.6831, p < 0.0001). Conclusion: The nurses in this study were deemed satisfied, to have better well-being, and better spiritual intelligence. Life satisfaction has a strong association with well-being but a weak one with spiritual intelligence, while well-being has a moderate association with spiritual intelligence. Overall, spiritual intelligence was found to have a mediating effect on the relationship between well-being and life satisfaction. These findings suggest that an increase in spiritual growth can serve as the foundation for people to live better and more integrated lives.
