Abstract

Aims: Spiritual health is the only force that makes up the physical, mental and social dimensions of man. Social anxiety can cause this negative reaction to react. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual health and social anxiety in chemical veterans. Methods: This descriptive correlation study used a questionnaire that included demographic, health spiritual and Liebowitz social anxiety. 109 veterans were selected by available sampling in Kermanshah. Data analysis was performed by descriptive statistics and Spearman and Mann-Whitney test. Results: In this study, there was an inverse relationship between spiritual health and social anxiety (P = 0.01, r = -0/363), but there was not statistically significant relationship between spiritual health and social anxiety associated with demographic characteristics. Conclusion: Several studies have confirmed the existence of anxiety in veterans. Strengthening of spiritual health as a strong force on the physical, mental and social health, can control social anxiety. Because the veterans need to promote physical and psychological conditions in their activities. So reinforcing the spiritual health programs is obvious in accordance with the new social conditions.
