“…The majority of these patients were reluctant to use complementary therapies and followed their physicians' instructions. The mean dimensions of patient empowerment also showed that trust in the physician, family support, and spiritual beliefs could affect the empowerment of women with breast cancer, which is in line with the results of the studies by Lotfian et al [ 46 ], Rostami et al [ 47 ], Davarpanah et al [ 48 ], and Elhani et al [ 49 ].…”

Background: Holistic, community-oriented health services require attention to spiritual health at all levels of prevention, in the spectrum of health and disease, throughout life. Spiritual health services are professional theory-based practice. The purpose of the study is to report the research methods of explaining the propositions of the Sound Heart Model as a Spiritual Health Theory. Methods: The theory was designed by using qualitatively derived theory based on the Concept-Integration method in six stages. An in-depth philosophical review of two decades of research indicated the need for spiritual empowerment. Concept analysis clarifies the concepts of therapeutic relationships and therapeutic content as spiritual communication, knowledge enhancement, skill training, and spiritual motivation. To validate the findings, in addition to Morse et al. suggestions, the findings were reviewed in four specialized national sessions "Chair of Behavioral Sciences", "Narrative Sciences Chair", "Pre-Summit Sessions" and "Summit Session" of "Chairs of Theorizing, Criticism and Scientific Debate" in the “Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution”. Conclusion: Spiritual self-care of parents, teachers and clergy is a priority. Secure attachment to the prophets and following their lifestyle is the basis of spiritual self-care. Spiritual self-care of parents, teachers and clergy creates spiritual mentoring competence. The correct religious behavior of spiritual mentors provides the possibility of model-oriented education. Spiritual communication based on compassion and empathy can create secure attachment, trust and security. Spiritual mentors should provide spiritual training without coercion and violence with "scaffolding". Mentors can facilitate the stages of faith growth and correct cognitive errors by increasing spiritual knowledge. Explaining the spiritual reason for life's sufferings increases resilience against suffering. By teaching "relationship development skills" with nature, self, people and God along with thinking about "the truth of religion", they can create a positive image of God and secure attachment to God. So that people can take refuge in God as a safe haven and feel safe.
