Abstract :The aim of this study was to determine spiritual well-being and depression, anxiety, stress levels and related factors in healthcare professionals in a descriptive, cross-sectional type of study. The research sample consisted of 604 healthcare professionals working in Kars province. Socio-demographic Information Questionnaire, Three-Factor Spiritual Well-being Scale and Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21 forms were used as data collection tools. The research data were evaluated with the SPSS 26.0 package program. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, t and f tests, correlation and regression analyzes were used to evaluate the data. Participants scored 103.25 ±17.88 points on the spiritual well-being scale, 9.75±5.09 points on depression, 9.01±4.94 points on anxiety, and 9.90±4.76 points on stress. The participants\' gender, substance use status, age, being a child, income level, working year and occupation and spiritual well-being differed significantly(p<.005). While 37.9% of the healthcare professionals had severe or extremely severe depression, 44.2% experienced extremely severe anxiety and only 32.3% experienced normal level of stress. A negative weak relationship was found between healthcare professionals\' spiritual well-being and depression anxiety and a very weak relationship was found between spiritual well-being and stress. As a result of hierarchical regression, 3 models were established.
