Background & Aims: Spiritual health is a basic dimension of well-being and overall health that coordinates other aspects of health. The present study was conducted to determine the spiritual health and some related factors during pregnancy. Materials & Methods: The present descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 200 pregnant women presenting to health centers in Qazvin, Iran in 2015. A multi-stage sampling was carried out and data were collected in a self-report manner using the Spiritual Well-Being Scale developed by Paloutzian and Ellison and a demographic and midwifery questionnaire. Data were analyzed in IBM-SPSS-20 and using analysis of variance and Tukey's test. Results: High spiritual health was observed in 69.5% of the participants, while 30.5% had moderate spiritual health. The overall mean score of spiritual health was 104.15±10.59, while that for religious health was 51.92±5.65 and for existential health was 57.3±6.36. A significant relationship was observed between spiritual health (Total score and subscales) and education, number of childbirths and family income, also a significant relationship was observed between subscales of spiritual health and grade of pregnancy (P0.05). Conclusion: According to this research, majority of mothers participating in this study had high spiritual health and some personal and prenatal characteristics were related to spiritual health, therefore, it is recommended to pay more attention to the spiritual and psychological dimensions of pregnant women along with other dimensions of health.
