Background & Aims: Spiritual health is recognized as a key component in improving students' quality of life and well-being. This systematic review aims to explore the condition of spiritual health in Iranian students and its relationship to academic achievement.
Materials & Methods: To acquire the necessary information, a search of Persian and English articles was performed in the databases of Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar, SID, and MagIran between 2000 and 2024. Keywords such as academic performance, academic advancement, student, Iran, academic achievement, academic self-efficacy, spiritual health, and spiritual well-being were used to search articles. Sequentially, duplicate articles were eliminated, and the titles, abstracts, and full texts of the studies were evaluated to select appropriate research.
Results: Following screening the studies, 13 qualifying articles were included in the review. The results showed that the majority of students had an average level of spiritual health. In addition, most of the studies reported a statistically significant positive correlation between spiritual health and academic achievement. Moreover, students with higher levels of spiritual health tended to have better academic performance.
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that focusing on spiritual health can be an effective approach for enhancing Iranian students' academic achievement. It is recommended that university educational and counseling programs place a special emphasis on improving students' spiritual health.
