Background: Humans health has various dimensions and spiritual health is placed at the top of these dimensions. When an individual has a higher spiritual health, he will get closer to God. The purpose of this study was to evaluate validation of spiritual health questionnaire from Islamic view using explanatory factor analysis (EFA).

Materials and methods: In this descriptive- analytical study, one hundred nurse students at Ilam University of Medical Sciences were selected using stratified sampling. Spiritual health questionnaire based on Islam’s perspective was used in this study which consisted of 20 questions. Cronbach's alpha coefficients and explanatory factor analysis were used to assess the validity and internal consistency of the questionnaire.

Results: Explanatory factor analysis showed that the spiritual health questionnaire is composed of six independent factors which had the following variance percentage: first, contemplation in spiritual health (variance of 14.2%); second, responsibility causing a purposeful life (variance of 12.4%); third, the role of having relationship with God in spiritual health (variance of 10.4%); fourth, the believe that man is the most noble creature (variance of 10.4%); fifth, God has created the world (variance of 9.9%); and sixth, God does care about human problems (variance:8.4).

Conclusion: According to the results of explanatory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha, the spiritual health questionnaire from Islamic view can be a useful tool for assessing spiritual health in Islam.
