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.

Background: Knowing the variables affecting health is clinically important. The purpose of this study was to determine the mediating role of coping styles in relation between attachment styles and early maladaptive schemas and health dimensions.
Materials and methods: In a descriptive study, 500 students from Azad University of Medical Sciences of Tehran between 2017 and 2018 were selected by available sampling method. Participants (250 female and 250 male) were asked to complete questionnaires of adult attachment scales, early maladaptive schemas, coping styles, and general health. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling.
Results: The results showed that the tested model had suitable fit. There was a significant negative relationship between subscales of attachment styles other than secure attachment with dimensions of health. In the early maladaptive schemas scale, other than the sub-scale of the other direction, the other subscales had a significant negative relationship with the dimensions of health. In the scale of coping styles, there was a significant positive correlation between problem-oriented strategy subscales, and emotional-oriented strategies had a negative significant relation with health dimensions, The results also showed that coping styles had mediating role in the relationship between attachment styles and early maladaptive schemas with health dimensions.
Conclusion: These findings, while pointing to the complexity of attachment nature, early maladaptive schemas and coping styles, emphasize the identification and conceptualization of various variables affecting health.
