The role of spiritual well-being and coping strategies with the anxiety of corona disease in military personnel

The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between spiritual well-being and coping strategies with the anxiety of corona disease in military personnel. The descriptive research method was correlation type. The statistical population of the present study included male and female employees working in a military unit in Ardabil city in 2021, and a sample of 113 people was selected using the available sampling method based on Cochran's formula. To collect data, Alipour et al.'s (2018) coronavirus anxiety questionnaires, Palutzin and Ellison's (1983) spiritual well-being, and Endler and Parker's (1990) coping strategies were used. Data analysis was done using Pearson's correlation coefficient test and multiple regression in Spss software. The findings showed that there was a negative and significant relationship between spiritual well-being and coping strategies with the anxiety of corona disease in military personnel. Also, the results of multiple regression analysis showed that the anxiety of corona disease in military personnel can be determined based on variables of spiritual well-being (P < 0.01, β = -0.265) and coping strategies (P < 0.001, β = -0.315). It is a prediction. Considering the role of spiritual well-being and coping strategies in the anxiety of corona disease, it seems necessary to pay attention to these psychological components in the design of psychological programs and interventions to reduce the disease anxiety of military personnel during the outbreak of corona and other infectious diseases.
