The present study aimed to identify the relationship between nursing students’ daily spiritual experiences and spiritual health, as well as investigate the role of demographic variables. The cross-sectional study was conducted on 401 nursing students from Medical Sciences Universities in Tehran province in 2021. Data were collected through a demographic questionnaire, the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale, and the Spiritual Health Questionnaire. The findings revealed a significant relationship between students’ daily spiritual experiences and spiritual health (p < .001). Additionally, significant associations were found between daily spiritual experiences and demographic variables such as sex, marital status, place of residence, adherence to religious rituals, economic status, smoking, and alcohol use (p < .05). These results highlight the influence of demographic factors on nursing students’ daily spiritual experiences and spiritual health, emphasising the interconnection between the two. Consequently, it is recommended to prioritise spiritual health as a crucial aspect of holistic spiritual care provision to patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
