Relationship between Lifestyle Promoting Health and Spiritual Well-being with Job Self-efficacy of Nurses in Corona Wards

Nurses, a major part of the health system, have been affected by the corona crisis more than other people working in the health system. To prepare to deal with crises and improve the state of the health system, nurses must have a level of physical and mental health and proper job self-efficacy. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the lifestyle that promotes health and spiritual well-being with the job self-efficacy of nurses in Corona wards.

The current research method was a correlational description. The statistical population was all the nurses working in the corona wards of Baqiyatallah Hospital in 2021. The statistical sample consisted of 82 nurses of wards admitting COVID-19 patients, who were selected by the available sampling method. The data were collected using three health-enhancing lifestyle questionnaires by Walker (1987), the spiritual well-being questionnaire by Dehshiri et al. (2013), and the standard Job self-efficacy questionnaire by Bandura (1977) and using descriptive and inferential statistical methods (correlation and regression) was analyzed.

The findings of the research showed that there is a relationship between the health-promoting lifestyle variables and spiritual well-being with the Job self-efficacy of nurses in Corona wards. Overall, the components of the health-promoting lifestyle and spiritual well-being explain 43.5% of nurses' Job self-efficacy. Spiritual growth component (β=0.544) and self-relation component (β=0.545) have a significant relationship with nurses' Job self-efficacy.

The results of the research show that the nurses' Job self-efficacy can be predicted based on the lifestyle that promotes their health and well-being. Therefore, it is necessary to consider appropriate educational programs to improve the lifestyle and spiritual well-being of nurses.
