Spiritual health; Analyzing concept and types of definition

Ismaeil Fattahi[3], Ayesha Amini [4]

Abstract:

Spiritual health is an important dimension of health, which researchers around the world have provided different definitions for it. There are similarities and differences in the definitions presented in this regard. These differences and similarities rooted in social conditions, cultures and religious beliefs, or religious unbelief of scholars. Given the progressive research challenges in this area, the need to a comprehensive and agreed definition is seriously felt. This comprehensive definition can make possible comparison, generalization, development, and applying research in this regard. In this study, by looking at the concept and definitions of spiritual health, we seek to provide a basic definition that can be used in future research.

Key Words: Health, Spiritual Health, Spirituality, Values and Obligations.
