To determine the relationship between spiritual intelligence (SI) and professional self-concept (PSC) among Iranian nurses.
This is a correlation study. A convenience sampling method was used and 344 nurses were selected from hospitals of Jahrom University of Medical Sciences. Data collection standard tools included two validated scales: Cowin's Nurse Self-Concept Questionnaire (36 items scored ranged from 1 to 8; Maximum score=288; 6 subcategories: General Nurse Self-Concept, Knowledge, Care, Communication, Staff Relation and Leadership) and Abdollahzadeh's SI Questionnaire (29 items scored ranged from 0 to 5; Maximum score=145; 2 subcategories: Relying on the inner core and Understanding and communicating with the origin of the universe.
The mean total score of PSC was 220.3±30.61 and 120.67±16.13 for SI. There was a significant statistical correlation between PSC (r=0.348, p<0.0001) and almost all subcategories and SI. The results of the regression analysis showed that SI predicts 13.3% of the variance of PSC (p<0.0001).
Considering the correlation of SI and PSC among Iranian nurses, it is suggested that strategies be used to train and promote the SI of nurses.
探讨伊朗护士的精神智力（SI）与专业自我概念（PSC）之间的关系。
这是一项相关性研究。采用便利抽样法，从 Jahrom 医科大学的医院中选取了 344 名护士。数据收集的标准工具包括两个经过验证的量表：Cowin 的护士自我概念问卷（36 个项目，评分范围为 1 至 8；最高得分为 288；6 个亚类：一般护士自我概念、知识、护理、沟通、员工关系和领导力）和 Abdollahzadeh 的 SI 问卷（29 个项目，评分范围为 0 至 5；最高得分为 145；2 个亚类：依靠内心核心和理解并与宇宙起源沟通）。
PSC 的平均总分（220.3±30.61）和 SI 的平均总分（120.67±16.13）。PSC（r=0.348，p<0.0001）与 SI 以及几乎所有的亚类之间都存在显著的统计学相关性。回归分析的结果表明，SI 可以预测 PSC 的 13.3%的变异（p<0.0001）。
考虑到伊朗护士的 SI 和 PSC 之间的相关性，建议采取策略来培训和促进护士的 SI。
