Introduction: Cancer exerts profound physical and psychological impacts on the lives of patients; therefore, attention to spiritual well-being, hope, and resilience in individuals diagnosed with cancer becomes essential.
Objective: The present study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between spiritual well-being and hope with resilience among cancer patients in the oncology ward of Tohid Hospital, Sanandaj, in 2022.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was conducted on 250 eligible cancer patients who attended the oncology ward of Tohid Hospital, Sanandaj, in 2022. Data collection instruments included a demographic questionnaire, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (2003), the Paloutzian and Ellison Spiritual Well-Being Scale (1983), and Snyder’s Hope Scale (1991). Participants were recruited through convenience sampling. After data collection, statistical analyses were performed using Stata 16 software, applying the Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, Spearman’s correlation, and multiple regression analysis. A significance level of 0.05 was considered
Results: According to the findings, spiritual well-being and its dimensions (religious well-being and existential well-being) were significantly correlated with resilience (r=0.549, P<0.001). An increase in spiritual well-being and its dimensions was associated with a significant and meaningful improvement in resilience among cancer patients. Furthermore, higher levels of hope were also significantly associated with greater resilience (r=0.340, P<0.001).
Conclusion: In light of the findings, resilience was found to be associated with both hope and spiritual well-being among cancer patients. Therefore, it is recommended that, based on the results of this study, appropriate educational interventions be implemented to promote spiritual well-being and enhance hope, with the aim of improving psychological well-being, strengthening resilience, and fostering better adaptation throughout the course of illness and treatment. |
