Özet

Purpose This study was conducted to determine the correlation between spiritual well-being and hope and depression in oncology patients. Design and Methods The sample of the study consisted of 210 cancer patients. For data collection, a Patient Information Form, the FACIT-Sp-12 Scale, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory were used. Findings The patients had mean scores of 32.02 +/- 5.14 for spiritual well-being, 4.15 +/- 4.17 for hopelessness, and 16.05 +/- 8.29 for depression. A negative relationship was determined between spiritual well-being and hopelessness and depression, and a positive and significant relationship was found between depression and hopelessness. Practice Implications Oncology patients should be given psychosocial care that supports their spiritual well-being and hope, and depression symptoms should be well known and given importance.
