Nurturing Spirituality, and Spiritual Intelligence: A Vital Aspect for Healthcare Professionals in the Current Scenario

Abstract

The subject of this paper centers on spirituality as a component of a comprehensive theory of intelligence and the study of human potential. The ability to comprehend the world and oneself via a God-centered perspective and modify one’s life appropriately is considered spiritual intelligence. All other abilities are shaped and guided by this fundamental skill. Several characteristics of spiritual intelligence, including faith, humility, gratitude, integrative ability, emotional regulation skills, morality, and the capacity for moral conduct, forgiveness, and love, are depicted in a non-inclusive manner based on the firsthand accounts of well-known spiritual writers and laypeople. Spiritual intelligence is considered developmental, developed via the accumulation of discrete experiences, and manifesting in progressively more ways in an individual’s life. Healthcare personnel often face changing work environments, highlighting their dynamic and unpredictable nature. The healthcare workforce has become more diversified in terms of nationality and age. Thanks to globalization, people are more mobile, and the world has no borders. Hospital professionals must be more dedicated and have more harmonious working relationships. The ability to use, manifest, and embody spiritual resources, ideals, and attributes in ways that improve one’s everyday functioning and overall well-being is known as spiritual intelligence. Healthcare personnel will have a more favorable work environment with the aid of spiritual intelligence. Greater patient satisfaction and increased productivity are correlated with an improved work environment.
