The statistical population of the study was 150 students in Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, who were selected based on their availability and answered Parsian and Donning's Spirituality Questionnaire, Zare's and Aminpour's Religious Beliefs Questionnaire, and Islamic Life Skills Questionnaire. The validity and reliability of the Islamic Life Skills Questionnaire were determined using Pearson’s correlation statistical analysis, Cronbach's alpha analysis and factor analysis. In this research, all ethical considerations were observed and the authors of the article did not report any conflict of interest.
Results: Based on the results obtained, a positive and significant relationship was found between the variables of spirituality, religious belief, and Islamic life skills. Cronbach's alpha for the Islamic Life Skills Questionnaire was 0.92. The four factors obtained from this questionnaire include: paying attention to God's commands in life, paying attention to the rights of others, paying attention to personal capabilities and paying attention to oneself.
