Abstract:
Background

In the community-based and holistic health services approach  attention to the bio- psycho-social spiritual health of patients and clients, at all levels is necessary . This study was aimed to assess how spiritual health affects other aspects of health (i.e. Physical-Psycho-Social) .

Methods

In evolutionary research, the Walker Avant content analysis method was used to upgrade existing knowledge with a systematic, scientific and justifiable process focusing on the question "How spiritual health affects bio- psycho-social health?" The scientific and religious literature  from 1990 to 2018 was extracted according to the evidence-based. Shite commentaries, authentic narrations (Khamam Nahjolbalagheh, the forces of wisdom and ignorance hadith, Envan –Basree Hadith, divine love hadith) and clinical evidence in health services were analyzed.

Results

Spiritual health means having Sound Heart, which is the result of true worship – submission to God – disregard of self-interest, trusting in God, delegating affairs to God and enduring hardships - paying attention to God's laws and prohibitions, avoiding selfishness and reforming lifestyle. It also affects health by: creating a social support network, managing stress and giving meaning to life in the psychological dimension, and creating health behaviors in the physical dimension. True worship creates:  asceticism, contentment (social health) - Liberation from anxiety and depression (mental health), - Love and devotion to God (spiritual health). Mental relaxation improves physical health.

Conclusion

The strengthening of the spiritual foundation of patients /clients increases their bio- psycho-social health and achieves the highest quality of life (Hayat Tayebeh). Spiritual health should be considered seriously in Iranian Health Services.
