Background: Nurses working in critical care and emergency settings are exposed to substantial occupational and psychological stressors that may adversely affect their mental health. Spiritual well-being and hope are considered important protective factors.
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between spiritual well-being, hope, and positive mental health among nurses working in coronary care units (CCUs), intensive care units (ICUs), and emergency departments (EDs) of teaching hospitals in Zanjan, Iran.
Methods: This cross-sectional correlational study included 300 nurses recruited through convenience sampling from CCUs, SICUs, MICUs, and EDs. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires assessing spiritual well-being, hope, and positive mental health and analyzed using Pearson and partial correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression.
Results: Participants had a mean age of 32.05 ± 6.23 years and a mean work experience of 8.34 ± 5.92 years. Spiritual well-being was positively associated with positive mental health after controlling for hope (r = 0.178, p = 0.002). Hope also remained significantly associated with positive mental health after controlling for spiritual well-being (r = 0.50, p = 0.001). In the final regression model, religious well-being and hope were significant predictors, explaining 29% of the variance in positive mental health.
Conclusion: Spiritual well-being and hope were significantly associated with positive mental health among nurses. Strengthening these factors may enhance nurses' well-being and improve the quality of patient care.
