Description
Summary:A convenience sample of 208 employees was obtained from a large fitness equipment company to evaluate the relationship between spiritual health and health-promoting behaviors. Survey results were obtained from 200 employees (96% response rate). Most correlations were positive and statistically significant for subscales and a composite measure for spiritual health was determined with subscales and a composite measure for health-promoting behaviors. Most correlations were small or moderate. Findings were limited by a small homogenous sample and ambiguity of the spiritual health selfreport measures. (Original abstract)
