While there are benefits to women entering the workforce, there are also drawbacks, such as stress, anxiety, and depression, which can lower quality of life. However, some research indicates that women's spiritual health may be a protective factor in these situations. This study is to explore the relationship between spiritual health and quality of life, stress, anxiety, and depression among a population of women working in health care centers, given the existence of such a relationship among women.
In 2022, 500 women who worked in health centers in Izeh City, Iran, participated in this cross-sectional survey. The clustered census sampling approach was used for the sample. The research participants completed a 12-item quality of life questionnaire on spiritual health, stress, anxiety, and depression as part of the data gathering process. The data were examined using independent t tests, one-way variance, and Pearson correlation after being entered into SPSS-24.
Of the participants, 18% were single and 68% were married. In terms of depression, stress, and anxiety, the mean and standard deviation were 8.26 ± 5.78, 11.26 ± 4.89, and 7.91 ± 0.98, respectively. The quality of life had a mean and standard deviation of 30.82 ± 3.56. Women who were unmarried and had more work experience reported a considerably greater quality of life ( < 0.05). The findings indicated that stress and spiritual health ( = 0.001), anxiety and spiritual health ( = 0.032), and depression and spiritual health ( = 0.024) all had a significant and inverse association. Furthermore, a strong and positive correlation was found ( = 0.001) between spiritual health and quality of life.
The study's conclusions demonstrated a clear link between spiritual health and life satisfaction, suggesting that working women's quality of life may be raised by treatments that support spiritual health. Furthermore, the findings demonstrated a significant inverse relationship between spiritual health and the psychological variables of stress, anxiety, and depression. This suggests that by understanding the factors influencing mental health and the role of spiritual health moderator, it may be possible to improve the psychological state of employed women.
尽管女性进入职场有诸多好处，但也存在一些弊端，如压力、焦虑和抑郁等，这些都会降低生活质量。然而，一些研究表明，女性的精神健康可能是这些情况下的一个保护因素。本研究旨在探讨医疗中心工作的女性群体中，精神健康与生活质量、压力、焦虑和抑郁之间的关系，鉴于女性群体中存在这种关系。
2022 年，伊朗伊泽市医疗中心的 500 名女性参与了这项横断面调查。采用整群普查抽样方法进行抽样。研究参与者完成了一份 12 项的关于精神健康、压力、焦虑和抑郁的生活质量问卷，作为数据收集过程的一部分。数据在输入 SPSS-24 后，使用独立 t 检验、单因素方差分析和 Pearson 相关分析进行了检验。
参与者中，18%为单身，68%为已婚。在抑郁、压力和焦虑方面，平均值和标准差分别为 8.26±5.78、11.26±4.89 和 7.91±0.98。生活质量的平均值和标准差为 30.82±3.56。未婚和工作经验较多的女性报告的生活质量明显更高（<0.05）。研究结果表明，压力与精神健康呈显著负相关（=0.001），焦虑与精神健康呈显著负相关（=0.032），抑郁与精神健康呈显著负相关（=0.024）。此外，精神健康与生活质量之间存在很强的正相关（=0.001）。
研究结论表明，精神健康与生活满意度之间存在明显联系，这表明支持精神健康的治疗方法可能会提高职业女性的生活质量。此外，研究结果表明，精神健康与压力、焦虑和抑郁等心理变量之间存在显著负相关。这表明，通过了解影响心理健康的因素和精神健康的调节作用，可能改善职业女性的心理状态。
