This study aimed to identify latent profiles of spiritual orientation (SO) and psychological well-being (PWB) among female healthcare workers and to examine how demographic factors predict profile membership. A total of 104 female healthcare professionals from two hospitals in eastern Türkiye were recruited using purposive criterion sampling. Participants completed validated self-report measures assessing SO and PWB. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) with varying means, equal variances, and covariances fixed to zero (Model 1) was conducted to uncover distinct profiles based on standardized mean scores. Four profiles were identified: “Low Spirituality-Low Well-Being” (5.8%), “Moderate Spirituality-Low Well-Being” (13.5%), “High Spirituality–High Well-Being” (61.5%), and “Low Spirituality-High Well-Being” (19.2%). The four-class solution demonstrated superior fit indices (BIC = 1737.0, entropy = 0.956) compared to alternative models. Multinomial logistic regression analysis revealed that education level, tenure, and marital status standing significantly predicted membership in the more adaptive profiles, particularly the “High Spirituality–High Well-Being” group. Notably, a moderate positive correlation ( Show less
