Abstract

 Spiritual health is defined as a state of being where an individual is able to deal with day-to-day life in a manner which leads to the realization of one’s full potential; meaning and purpose of life; and happiness from within. It has been found that spiritual practices have a positive correlation with survival, low blood pressure, less remission time from depression, less number of cigarettes smoked per day per week, less severe medical illness, better quality of life, cooperativeness, etc. In last two decades, there has been scientific search for the relationship of the spirituality with intelligence, with emotions and also well-being. Measurement instruments have been developed to measure spiritual intelligence, which is a spiritual correlate to intelligence quotient and emotional quotient. Like emotional quotient, spiritual quotient is assuming importance in scientific research and philosophical/psychological debates. In this direction, National Institute of Health and Family Welfare, New Delhi has developed a statistically reliable and valid spiritual health scale.***Objective: To assess the spiritual health status of medical students using the spiritual health scale developed by NIHFW, New Delhi.
