“…Research has identified several distinct spiritual interventions, such as prayer, discussing scriptures, forgiveness, and connecting with God (Sutton et al, 2018). It has also highlighted challenges in addressing non-Christian clients and suggested that better results might be achieved when there is a patient–therapist similarity on religious values (e.g., Evans & Devlin, 2016; Kelly & Strupp, 1992). It has indicated that when working with Christian and non-Christian clients, counselors adapted their overtness regarding their faith.…”

“…Counselors with more secular training found it easier to work with clients with different belief systems and values than those with mostly Christian-based training (Scott, 2013). These studies underscored several challenges that face psychotherapists who want to integrate spiritual/religious contents/practices with clients, both those who hold similar spiritual perspectives and those who do not (e.g., addressing spiritual and religious aspects without preaching; Evans & Devlin, 2016; Scott, 2013).…”

“…In addition, many of the existing studies in athletes, college students, and social workers are related to Christianity[ 13 14 15 ] and few attempts have been made to define spiritual health from the Islamic point of view. [ 6 16 17 ] Thus, it is critical for Iranian nurses and other health care providers to recognize and understand spiritual health in the context of Iranian Islamic culture and religion.…”

Background: Spiritual health is a complex concept and it is important to review its promotion and evolution from a Muslim point of view in Iran. So, the present study was designed to explore the process of spiritual health promotion among Iranian Muslims. Materials and Methods: This study is a grounded theory in which the continuous comparative analysis method Strauss & Corbin (1998) was used to analyze data. This study's sampling method was purposive in trying to select participants with the maximum variation. Results: The “striving effort to promote spiritual health” was the core category which was the participants' strategy of the participants to confront their main concern, “to achieve transcendence”. The essential spiritual process in this study was “the journey in the transcendence path”. People would find the purpose and meaning of life by interconnecting and relying on their inner forces, and by establishing the moderation between the dimensions of existence. In this way, individuals will become closer to human perfection with the help of these components. They will achieve immersive wellbeing and moral maturity through the consolidation of spiritual health. Such a person lives to serve among the people. Conclusions: Adult promotion of spiritual health is dynamic and complex. The main process in this path is spiritual growth, which begins and continues as a result of the striving to advance spiritual health and refinement. Considering these findings has become a concern for holistic care within the scope of nursing care.

“…In fact, since the majority of clients have their own religious or spiritual worldview, the counselor should encourage the client to express his/her spiritual issues when making treatment relation with him/her because they are interested in speaking about this topic with counselor when they feel annoyed. [ 15 16 ] The third category of studies addresses the main role of health service providers such as nurses in providing counseling to patients with physical and mental illnesses in hospital. Since nurses play a crucial role in making mental patients calm and supporting them and since nurses make relationship with patients, they can be good options to present SC for individuals with psychological problems who are hospitalized.…”

Background and Aim:Given the increased prevalence of mental illnesses in recent years, many therapists and researchers use spiritual counseling (SC), which is one of the spiritual interventions. However, unfortunately, the use of this intervention by the therapists is nonscientific because the ambiguities of this issue are high in the mental health field of Iran. The aim of this study is to survey the following most important challenges: what groups are qualified to provide SC, what kind of knowledge should be known by suitable individuals, who can train spiritual counselors, what they should teach, and what teaching methods should be used.Methods:The present conventional qualitative content analysis used deep semi-structured interview to collect data from the view of stakeholders. A total of 15 people were selected through purposive sampling. After transcription of the interviews, the data were analyzed based on the Graneheim and Lundman model.Results:Results obtained from data analysis covered five main themes including SC candidates, general conditions, sciences required, SC curriculum, and spiritual counselors' training method.Conclusions:The present study has answered to the most basic questions in SC scope. Since spiritual services are rooted in our culture and religion, native guidelines should be created for them as soon as possible through conducting similar qualitative researches. Furthermore, it is worth considering teaching and training case in this scope to make spiritual service providers concern about solutions to promote these services.
