INTRODUCTION
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused physical and psychological health problems in the elderly. Spiritual intelligence has an effect on health and healing. The aim of this study determining the relationship between spiritual intelligence and intolerance of uncertainty, anxiety, and fear of corona in the elderly.
METHODOLOGY
A cross-sectional study was done on 207 elderly people who referred to comprehensive health service centers in Mashhad in 2022. The samples were selected based on the inclusion criteria using multistage and cluster sampling. To collect data, various questionnaires were used, including demographic characteristics (age, gender, marital status …), King's Spiritual Intelligence Questionnaire, Freestone's Intolerance of Uncertainty Questionnaire, Corona Anxiety Scale, and Coronavirus Fear Scale. Statistical analysis of variables was done using descriptive and analytical (independent -test, Mann-Whitney, analysis of variance, linear regression) tests by means of STATA version 14.
RESULTS
The average level of spiritual intelligence was 54.1. Participants reported a high level of intolerance of uncertainty (M = 79.2) and fear of corona (M = 14.09). Education, economic status, and marital status were the predictors of spiritual intelligence of the studied subjects (r = 0.24, < .05). Spiritual intelligence and gender were also related to uncertainty intolerance (r = 0.12, < .05). Another finding of the study was the superiority of variables of spiritual intelligence and gender in predicting the level of anxiety of corona compared to other variables (r = 0.17, < .05).
CONCLUSION
There was a relationship between spiritual intelligence, education, and gender with the level of fear and anxiety of corona. Therefore, planning and implementing educational projects based on increasing spiritual intelligence for the elderly with priority for elderly women and with a low level of literacy and income is recommended.
引言
新冠疫情给老年人带来了身心健康问题。精神智力对健康和康复有影响。本研究旨在确定老年人的精神智力与不确定性不耐受、焦虑及对新冠的恐惧之间的关系。
方法
2022年对227名前往马什哈德综合健康服务中心的老年人进行了横断面研究。样本根据纳入标准采用多阶段整群抽样法选取。为收集数据，使用了各种问卷，包括人口统计学特征（年龄、性别、婚姻状况……）、金氏精神智力量表、弗里斯通不确定性不耐受问卷、新冠焦虑量表和新冠恐惧量表。借助STATA 14版本，通过描述性和分析性（独立样本t检验、曼-惠特尼检验、方差分析、线性回归）检验对变量进行统计分析。
结果
精神智力的平均水平为54.1。参与者报告了较高的不确定性不耐受水平（M = 79.2）和对新冠的恐惧（M = 14.09）。教育程度、经济状况和婚姻状况是研究对象精神智力的预测因素（r = 0.24，P <.05）。精神智力和性别也与不确定性不耐受有关（r = 0.12，P <.05）。该研究的另一项发现是，与其他变量相比，精神智力和性别的变量在预测新冠焦虑水平方面更具优势（r = 0.17，P <.05）。
结论
精神智力、教育程度和性别与对新冠的恐惧和焦虑水平之间存在关联。因此，建议优先为老年女性以及识字率和收入水平较低的老年人规划和实施基于提高精神智力的教育项目。
