Using the MAXQUDA 7 software, the data were analyzed according to qualitative content analysis. According to definition and attributes of spiritual health based on Islamic teachings, an 82- item scale wass developed. In the second stage, a quantitative, cross-sectional study was carried out on 310 Muslims patients in Mashhad and Bojnord, Iran. Psychometrics of the scale was examined with face validity, content validity, construct validity and reliability using the SPSS 11 software.

Results: At the qualitative stage, definitions, 30 empirical referents, insequences, and consequences were developed based on Islamic teachings. At the quantitative stage, the final scale of spiritual health, based on Islamic teachings consisting of 32 items with cognitive and behavioral domain, was developed.
