Abstract:
Background and Aim: Spiritual health (SH), as the guiding force that maintains equilibrium in three dimensions of health - physical, mental, and social - can significantly contribute to the quality of life in humans. Therefore, the present study was to reflect on the levels of SH among Iranian university students. Materials and Methods: This study was fulfilled, employing a systematic review and meta-analysis, from November to December 2020. All the relevant articles, focusing on SH assessment in Iranian university students, published in seven valid databases between 2012 and 2020 were accordingly collected and evaluated. Finally, 20 articles were selected and analyzed using the Stata software. Results: A total of 20 studies conducted in Iran based on a sample size of 4805 individuals was found during the time period of 2012 and 2021. Spiritual Health in Iranian University Students was estimated to be 80.50 (95% CI, 73.56% - 87.44%). Conclusion: Considering the synthesis of the reviewed articles, SH was reported to be at high levels in nearly all Iranian university students, as expected in the Iranian-Islamic society.
