“…This finding aligns with what been cited by previous studies. Sharif Nia et al (2021) for instance, mention that spiritual health is an important resource for modifying perceptions of adverse symptoms and negative life experiences to support making them more tolerable. Another study conducted among Malay women with breast cancer found that patients reporting higher spirituality were more hopeful and had higher perceived QOL (Pahlevan Sharif, et al, 2021).…”

This study explored cancer survivors’ life experiences in moving towards growth. Four Iban participants were interviewed and the data were thematically analysed. This paper concludes that the cancer diagnosis impacts participants mentally, emotionally, and physically. Spiritual strategy is the most used coping strategy, and participants were highly motivated by social support. Participants also reported to experience growth mostly in the area of relationship with others. It implies that the findings of this study are able to expand posttraumatic growth (PTG) among Asians literatures and contribute as references for counsellors and psychologists to develop appropriate psychological interventions that suit the patients’ culture. Further explorations on the spiritual and social elements for psychological interventions among Asian cancer patients are recommended.

“…Spirituality, as the individual's inner power, is urgently needed to help nurses deal with these problems and rebuild their confidence in the nursing profession, ultimately improving their quality of life and the quality of care they provide for patients. In addition, spiritual care is important for patients' wellbeing, and management-level nurses need to be fully aware of the aspects of spirituality and spiritual care (11). The role of nurses is crucial in this regard, and their personal spirituality can impact the spiritual care of their patients (12).…”

Background: In recent years, spiritual health became a focus of interest and nurses' spiritual health is crucial to the quality of their own lives and patients' health care. In China, high workloads, tense nursepatient relationships, and low social status have been found to have negative impacts on the work attitude and nursing quality and spiritual health offers direction for solving this problem. This study assessed the spiritual health levels of nurses on the Chinese mainland using a revised Chinese version of the spiritual health scale (SHS-C).Methods: A total of 747 nurses were recruited in Zhejiang Province, China. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) of the revised SHS-C were performed using convenience sampling, with 291 and 456 nurses used for each analysis type, respectively. Items on the SHS-C were screened using the discrete trend method, the extreme group approach, correlation analysis, and EFA to create a revised mental health questionnaire for nurses. An internal consistency test and CFA were then performed to verify the spiritual health questionnaire for nurses. A self-reporting questionnaire consisting of demographic questions and the revised SHS-C items was used for this cross-sectional correlation study. Results:The revised SHS-C included 6 subscales comprising a total of 28 items. Cronbach's α and retest reliability for the revised questionnaire were 0.90 and 0.73, respectively. The fit of the model was analyzed by CFA [χ 2 /df =1.79; goodness of fit index (GFI) =0.83; adjusted GFI (AGFI) =0.79; root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) =0.06; normed fit index (NFI) =0.86; comparative fit index (CFI) =0.93; non-NFI (NNFI) =0.92; incremental fit index (IFI) =0.93; parsimony NFI (PNFI) =0.76; parsimony CFI (PCFI) =0.83; and parsimony GFI (PGFI) =0.69; with each index score higher than those of the 5-subscale SHS short form previously developed by Hsiao et al.]. A reliability test showed that the overall Cronbach's α was 0.93, with a Cronbach's α of between 0.82 and 0.92 for each section. This study developed and validated a revised SHS-C.Conclusions: Our research will help policymakers, administrators, nursing leaders, and educators to identify areas for improvement regarding nurses' spiritual health, which could translate into significant improvements in patients' health care.

“…Among the studies with path analysis methods that have been conducted in recent years in the eld of identifying mediating variables in the relationship between spiritual well-being, SOC, and self-compassion with QOL, we can mention the research conducted by Shari nia et al, the results of which revealed that the relationship between spiritual well-being and QOL in patients with cancer can be mediated by hope. According to the investigations that have been carried out, the research gap in this eld becomes more visible, and the necessity of conducting new studies becomes more vivid [59]. On the other hand, the ageing of the population is one of the biggest challenges facing the world, and the position of the elderly in society and their QOL are a concern in professional and scienti c research circles [60].…”

Background: Population ageing is considered one of the biggest challenges facing the world, and the status of the elderly in society and their quality of life (QOL) have proved to be a concern in professional and scientific research circles. As a result, the current study sought to investigate the role of pain self-efficacy (PSE) as a moderator in the relationship between sense of coherence (SOC), spiritual well-being, and self-compassion with QOL in Iranian elderly with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Method: This was a correlational study of the path analysis type. The statistical population included all elderly people with CVD who were at least 60 years of age in Kermanshah Province, Iran, in 2022, of whom 298 (181 men and 117 women) were selected using convenience sampling and according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The participants answered questionnaires from the World Health Organization on QOL, Paloutzian and Ellison’s spiritual well-being, Nicholas’s PSE, Antonovsky’s SOC, and Raes et al.’s self-compassion. Results: The results of path analysis demonstrated that the hypothesised model of this study has a good fit in the studied sample. In this way, SOC, spiritual well-being, and self-compassion had a significant relationship with QOL through PSE. Conclusion: These results emphasise the importance of the role of PSE in increasing the quality of life of the elderly with CVD.
