Introduction: Spiritual health is the main aspect of human health and as spiritual health of nursing students increases, they can better provide patient care. Spiritual health can be increased through training and this degree of improvement is different in students. Because the student population in the community is very high therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the Palutzian and Ellison's spiritual health.

Methods: In this descriptive-comparative study, 100 of 188 students were randomly selected. Data were collected using the 20-item standard spiritual health questionnaire of Palutzian and Elison. The spiritual health results were classified into four main groups namely, low level (20-40), low- moderate level (41-70), up-moderate level (71-99) and high level (100-120).  Data were analyzed using SPSS.

Results: 14 %, 60 % and 26 % of nursing students were ranked as low-moderate level, up-moderate level and high level for spiritual health, respectively. There was a significant relationship between age and existential health (P<0.05) while there was no relation with other demographic variables. The correlation coefficient was 0.84 between religious and existential health, which indicated that the higher score of religious health led to the higher score of existential health.

Conclusions: Generally, spiritual health score of female students was higher than that of male students. Improved spiritual health of nursing student during 4-acadamic years results in better spiritual care of patients.
