Abstract

Spiritual health is a unique force that can influence the physical, mental, and social dimensions of life. In order to know the positive effects of spiritual health, it is necessary to explain the adolescents’ experiences in this area. This study, therefore, aimed to investigate Iranian adolescents’ experiences regarding the effects of spiritual health. This study was conducted based on a qualitative approach using content analysis. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 20 adolescents aged 14–18 years. Subsequently, the obtained data were analyzed using the Graneheim and Lundman method. In total, three major categories emerged from data analysis, including mental health promotion, self-control, and purposefulness in life. Considering the significant effects of spiritual health on adolescents’ development, it is essential to pay attention to this dimension of health and develop plans to enhance it. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2023.
