Abstract

This study aimed to explain the resilience model based on purposeful life and quality of relationships mediated by spiritual health in the face of stress conditions caused by Covid-19 disease. The present study is applied in terms of purpose, and the data collection method was a descriptive correlation. The study's statistical population was family members of patients with Covid-19 disease who lived in Tehran. The sample consisted of 300 family members of patients with Covid-19 disease who participated in the study through available sampling and online methods. Data collection instruments included Mahvlyk & Krambaf purpose in Life Questionnaire (1969), Pierce et al. quality of relationships Questionnaire (1991), Connor and Davidson resilience Questionnaire (2003), and Paloutzian & Ellison's spiritual health Questionnaire (1982). Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation method and path analysis using SPSS and AMOS software. The results showed that the direct effect of purposefulness in life (P > 0.01) and its indirect effect due to spiritual health (P > 0.005) on resilience is significant. The results also show that the indirect effects of social support (P > 0.04) and interpersonal conflict (P > 0.006) on resilience through spiritual health are significant. Therefore, spiritual health can mediate between purposefulness in life and social support and interpersonal conflict on resilience in the face of psychological pressure and increase resilience.
