To analyze the data, correlation, regression and Friedman test using SPSS software were used. Findings show that spiritual intelligence and its components, except for critical existential thinking, have a positive and significant effect on professional ethics at the NAJA level. Among the dimensions of spiritual intelligence, the dimension of state development had the highest and the dimension of existential critical thinking had the lowest correlation coefficient with professional ethics. Also, the fifth test based on Friedman test shows that awareness with a coefficient of 3.16 is in the first priority, as a result, it has the greatest effect on professional ethics. The coefficient of 1.89 is in the fourth and final rank, therefore it has the least effect on professional ethics in NAJA.
