Philosophy has spoken of the material temperament, and mysticism has spoken about the spiritual temperament. The spiritual temperament is the foundation of spiritual health, and the material temperament influences spiritual health. The spiritual temperament is the effect of spiritual combination with a particular method. This combination has two kinds: existential combination and voluntary combination. The existential combination is established with the assortment of Divine names and characteristics of levels of existence in the human bring in the arc of the descent. The name of the effect of this combination is the natural spiritual temperament. But the voluntary combination is established with the mixture of the beliefs and the deeds in the world. This combination is called the adventitious spiritual temperament. If the adventitious spiritual temperament is established with the combination of Divine knowledge and moral descriptions in the arc of the ascent, this temperament is the spiritual temperament of perfects. If the adventitious spiritual temperament is established with combination of incorrect beliefs and evil deeds, this temperament is the spiritual temperament of the earthlings. Nevertheless, the health of the adventitious spiritual temperament gets by completion of the heart true in the arc of the descent. This temperament is the source of spiritual health. Of course, material health helps actual spiritual health is revealed. The material temperament is established with a combination of the maters and the states of the indivisible. The health of this combination is the source of moral descriptions and good deeds.

The intellect is one of the best Allah gifts to man and the cause of his privilege over other beings. This gift is potential in humans and needs to be nurturing and rearing in order to emerge. On the other hand, whimsy, including the most important one "lust" which is present in man and has a strong force for manifestation, hinders the growth of intellect. Accordingly, in the present study, lust control is discussed as a way for the growth of intellect, which is the same kind of patience. The research is qualitative which was done by review method which is a combination of systematic review method, content analysis and literature review.

Methods of lust control are presented in a five-factor model: self-care, modesty and chastity, repulsion of lust until marriage, observance of boundaries and avoidance of prostitution. Therefore, it can be said that controlling lust (patience) causes the growth of intellect. Accordingly, the use of lust control methods is part of the process of patience and intellect growth.

The spiritual crisis due to the lack of explanation about the cause of life's sufferings, its purpose and meaning along with the consequences of the care burden of parents as informal caregivers, disrupt the spiritual health of cancerous children's families which need "family-centered" spiritual care. Art as a spiritual phenomenon along with enlightenment and intuition, leads human to health. The aim of this study was to explain the integration method of art therapy in the spiritual care protocol of the sound heart model of cancerous children's families.

This combined study was performed in 1401 based on the Cresswell et al. model (2003) with a sequential-variable approach (exploratory and explanatory) and the Islamic theory of spiritual health (sound heart model). Qualitative data of unsystematic review and contractual content analysis of applications of art therapy in the treatment of patients' distresses were combined with quantitative data of numerous clinical trials based on the sound heart model as a protocol for conducting spiritual counseling sessions. The meta-inferential validations were performed in two sections, - in the quantitative data section through "internal-external validity”, - in the qualitative data section with "reliability or capability index".

Family-centered spiritual care for spiritual self-care empowerment is implemented in four steps: 1. Establishing spiritual relationship with the patient and family based on compassion with the aim of gaining trust and attention to spiritual suffering; 2. Increasing knowledge with the aim of developing self-awareness along with self-compassion and understanding the positive aspects of problems; 3. Developing communication for strengthening a secure attachment to God, strengthening the spiritual connection with people and the world of creation for creating the courage to face the crisis of disease, hope, positive thinking; 4. Motivation for strengthening the adaptation ability, creating a sense of self-efficacy. The use of different types of art in spiritual care sessions was explained.

Considering the effect of art and spirituality in promoting the spiritual health of the family, the use of a combined protocol of spiritual care of sound heart with art therapy in the care of cancerous children's families is recommended.

Happiness is one of the most important needs of today's societies, which is considered by thinkers as one of the components of spiritual health. In the Qur'an and hadiths, the word Farah is used in many cases to mean happiness. Hakkami's literary texts also have negative content related to happiness. Considering the prominent role of the Quran and literature in deepening the concepts related to happiness, in this study, the underlying factors and solutions for living happily were explained using the above sources.

Many factors play a role in promoting the family's spiritual health. Peace prevailing in family relationships is one of the most important factors. On the other hand, one of the most important wisdom of marriage according to the verses of the Qur'an is the realization of "Sakineh" for family members, especially couples. The purpose of this study is to discover the semantic relationship between the concepts of "Sakineh" and "peace" and the factors of Sakineh's realization in the family and also its effect on promoting the spiritual health of this institution.

This research is a descriptive-analytical method based on library resources and with emphasis on the original interpretive and narrative sources to explain the concept of Sakineh and the factors of its realization in order to promote spiritual health in the family.

In the six verses of the Qur'an, which use the word "Sakineh", the rule of Sakineh and peace over the hearts of the believers is introduced with a descending nature and providence from God, which is usually revealed in the conditions of the believers' struggle and confrontation with Violence and crises and based on their religious attitude in those circumstances. The peace and tranquility resulting from marriage, which is mentioned in verse 189 of Surah A'raf and verse 21 of Surah Rome, also causes habitation and salvation from the psychological turmoil and ordinary anxieties of life, which severely endanger various aspects of family health, especially spiritual health.

What can be deduced from the Qur'anic analysis of the concept of "Sakineh" is that "Sakineh" is not just superficial tranquility but refers to the tranquility that encompasses all the inner layers of man. The establishment of such deep peace in the family has an effective role in providing and promoting spiritual health in the family. There are many factors that have been mentioned in the religious teachings for the decline of Sakineh in the family. But the most important of those factors are mentioned with subtle and precise interpretations in verse 21 of Surah Rome, which are mainly based on changing attitudes and managing relationships, and are:1. Having a "verse" attitude towards the institution of marriage 2. Reflecting on the concept of adequacy by emphasizing the creation of couples from a single truth 3. The necessity of kindness and mercy in the couples' relationships and family members.

The spiritual emptiness in the modern era caused a kind of return to spiritual life and communication between different parts of life. "Spiritual health" was proposed as the fourth dimension of health when other dimensions were not considered sufficient in meeting human needs. "Art" can be regarded as one of the most influential factors in restoring spiritual health. Iranian-Islamic art has always produced artworks about spirituality by showing manifestations of the higher world and an image of heaven. It has provided a necessary part of the spiritual health of society. This study aimed to assess the relationship between art and spiritual health.

This research was carried out in a library manner by referring to studies related to art and spiritual health, and a descriptive-analytical method was used.

The results demonstrated that there has always been a two-way relationship between art and spiritual health in Iranian-Islamic culture. Iranian-Islamic art, including literature, architecture, painting, and music, has played a vital role in the progress of spiritual health. This art has invited people to a different aspect of life and provided a platform for sublimation. It has been one of the most influential factors in the progress of spirituality in society. At the same time, it was influenced by religious teachings and the religious life of the artist. Therefore, the effect of art on spiritual health (as well as the effect of spiritual health on art) is considered the most notable result.

Considering the interrelationship between art and spiritual health, art promotes spiritual health as a basic need of societies. Spiritual health is not only limited to the cognitive dimension of a person. Thus in this context, attention to art, which directly affects motivation and strengthening or weakening wills, is essential. Art inspires and mediates between the world of the senses and sensations by using the power of imagination and stimulating emotions. Therefore, it is not possible to achieve good results in improving spiritual health without using the capacity of works of art.

Nurses are constantly experiencing various tensions considering their sensitive profession, so that, their physical, mental, and spiritual health aspects are at risk, and this issue can affect the quality of their care for patients. In this regard, this study was conducted to investigate the relationships between nurses' spiritual health and emotional intelligence.

This is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study. The study’s sample population included all nurses working in the Bam’s Pasteur Hospital (Bam city, Kerman Province, Iran). Sampling was done by available methods and in the end, 165 nurses were accepted to participate in the present study. Paloutzian and Ellison Spiritual Health Questionnaire and Bradbury and Greaves Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire were used to assess nurses' spiritual health and emotional intelligence, respectively. The collected data from questionnaires were entered into SPSS-18 software and were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistical tests.

According to obtained results, the mean scores of spiritual health and emotional intelligence of the participants were 76.48±13.29 and 118.80±16.68, respectively. Among the demographic variables, only gender showed a significant relationship with the level of spiritual health (P=0.016). Also, a positive and significant correlation was observed between spiritual health and emotional intelligence (r=0.274, P=0.002).

The present study revealed moderate levels of spiritual health and high levels of emotional intelligence in the participants. thus, providing workshops in hospitals seems necessary to promote spiritual health via enhancing emotional intelligence in working nurses. As a more effective and long-term solution, we suggest that universities pay more attention to future nurses’ spiritual health by including courses related to spiritual well-being and emotional intelligence.
