Background and Objectives: Spiritual intelligence is a key factor in coping with the challenges and stress that come with working in demanding environments, such as nursing. This study aimed to assess the level of spiritual intelligence among nurses in Iran.
Materials and Methods: In this systematic review, an electronic search was conducted for English articles using the keywords "Nurse", "Spiritual Intelligence", "Iran", and "Hospital" in the PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Ovid databases. Additionally, Persian articles were searched using the keywords "Spiritual Intelligence", "Nurse", "Iran", and "Hospital" in the academic databases of Jihad University (Scientific Information Database; SID), the Iranian Nursing Publications Index (Iranian Nursing Index; Nindex), Magiran, and Iranmedex, covering the period from 2010 to 2022. Articles were extracted in 2023.
Results: A total of 142 articles were extracted, and finally, 30 articles were analyzed. Most of the studies reported the general scores of nurses' spiritual intelligence as being in the average or higher range. Spiritual intelligence was found to have a statistically significant relationship with various variables, including clinical competence, quality of nursing care, nursing performance, emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, mental health, resilience, stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, empathy, physical activity, general health, moral behavior, psychological well-being, patient support, life satisfaction, job stress, perceived stress, nurses' talent management, and happiness (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Since spiritual intelligence can effectively enhance the quality of services, it is recommended that policymakers in the healthcare system implement necessary planning and training programs to improve and promote spiritual intelligence.
