The Relationship between Spiritual Health and other Dimensions of Health: Presentation of a Model

Abstract Attitude to humankind will have different effects on providing health services. Although, more attention is being paid to physical dimension of health, many researchers and health service providers consider the concept of health beyond physical health. Accordingly, the biopsychosocial model of health, which has been accepted by scientific communities for many years, has a missing link called spiritual health. In recent years, different models have been proposed to investigate the relationship between spiritual health and other dimensions of health in the form of a holistic approach to humankind. In spite of the variety of these models, the fundamental challenge is the actual place of spiritual health in comparison with other dimensions. In this study, it was attempted to address the status and weight of spiritual health and its relation to other aspects of health from the Islamic point of view.
