To determine the impact of spiritual intervention on hope and spiritual well-being of persons with cancer.
Randomized controlled trial in which 74 patients with cancer referring to a chemotherapy ward of Shahid Rajaie Hospital in Yasuj city, Iran, were participated. The eligible patients were randomly assigned to either intervention or control group. Spiritual-based intervention was performed based on the protocol in four main fields namely; religious, existence, emotional and social over 5 sessions before chemotherapy. The participants in the control group had received usual cares. Data were collected using Snyder's Hope Scale and Ellison's Scale Spiritual Well-Being Scale on a week before and after intervention.
The total mean scores of the scales of hope and spiritual well-being in both groups did not present statistical differences in the pre-intervention assessment. In contrast, at the post assessment, significant differences (p<0.001) were found in the mean scores between the intervention and control groups on the hope scale (60.9 versus 39.8) and on the spiritual well-being scale (94.3 versus 71.6).
Spiritual intervention could promote hope and spiritual well-being of persons with cancer.
探讨灵性干预对癌症患者希望和灵性健康的影响。
这是一项随机对照试验,共有 74 名癌症患者参与,他们均来自伊朗亚苏季市沙希德·拉贾伊医院的化疗病房。符合条件的患者被随机分为干预组和对照组。在化疗前,干预组接受了 5 次基于灵性的干预,干预内容主要包括宗教、存在、情感和社会等 4 个方面。对照组仅接受常规护理。在干预前和干预后,使用 Snyder 的希望量表和 Ellison 的灵性健康量表收集数据。
两组患者在干预前评估时,其希望和灵性健康量表的总分均无统计学差异。相反,在干预后评估时,干预组的希望量表(60.9 分比 39.8 分)和灵性健康量表(94.3 分比 71.6 分)的平均分均显著高于对照组(p<0.001)。
灵性干预可以提高癌症患者的希望和灵性健康水平。
