Spiritual well-being, stress, and life satisfaction among healthcare workers in Indonesia: a study during Covid-19 pandemic

ABSTRACTThis study examines the relationship between spiritual well-being, stress, and life satisfaction among 173 healthcare workers in Indonesia. The results of this study based on the bivariate analysis showed a significant positive relationship between spiritual well-being and life satisfaction. Stress also had a significant negative correlation with life satisfaction. Multiple regression showed that spiritual well-being and stress predict life satisfaction with an effective contribution of 25.2%. Adding the communal domain increases the effective contribution to 27.5%, acting as a mediator. Each spiritual well-being domain correlated with life satisfaction. For sociodemography, it was only found that there were differences in life satisfaction level based on the residence zone. The study highlights the need for interventions integrating psychological and spiritual support to improve healthcare workers’ well-being. It also identifies differences in life satisfaction based on residence zones. Therefore, efforts to enhance the well-being of healthcare workers should involve multiple stakeholders.KEYWORDS: Covid-19spiritual well-beingstresslife satisfactionhealthcare workersIndonesia Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Authors’ contributionsAll authors have made substantial contributions to all of the following: (a) the conception and design of the study, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data, (b) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content, and (c) final approval of the version to be submitted.Consent to participateInformed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.Availability of data and materialsThe datasets generated during and/or analyzed during the current study are available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.Additional informationFundingNo funds, grants, or other support was received.
