Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study in 2016, 500 Iranian naval personnel were selected through stratified random sampling. The Spiritual Health Questionnaire (SWBS), the GHQ-28 General Health Questionnaire, and the Montazeri Health Literacy Questionnaire were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using SPSS16 software.
Results: The findings showed that 77.4% (387 people) of naval personnel had moderate spiritual health and 22.6% (113 people) had high spiritual health. 61.2% (306 people) of the participants had good general health and 38.8% (194 people) had poor general health. The results also showed that 63.2% (316 people) of the participants had border health literacy and 28.4% (142 people) had high health literacy. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between spiritual health and general health and health literacy (p˂0.05).
