“…Others studies (Bozek et al, 2020) have emphasized that spirituality is a strong predictor and promoter of psychological health. Studies (Kirca, et al, 2023)which also supported these findings underline that spiritual care of cancer patients decreases the physical problems, anxiety, sleep disorders, depression and disorders in their social functioning. Spiritual care can aid cancer patients connecting to self, and/or a higher power or nature, find meaning and purpose in life (Shi et al, 2023).…”

“…Addressing the spiritual needs of cancer patients involves assessing their beliefs and relationships with family, friends, and the divine (Delgado-Guay, 2014 ; Maiko et al, 2019 ). There are studies in the literature assessing the spiritual care needs of Muslim cancer patients (Kırca et al, 2023 ; Dedeli et al, 2015 ). However, further research is warranted to examine the expectations of cancer patients regarding the spiritual support to be provided by nursing professionals.…”

This study was conducted to determine and compare the spiritual care needs of cancer patients and their caregivers. A comparative descriptive, cross-sectional design was employed in this study. The study comprised 102 patients who were registered in the hospital’s home care unit, as well as their caregivers (total number = 204). The data were collected using a personal information form and the Spiritual Care Needs Inventory. The cancer patients had a mean age of 69.5 years, while their caregivers’ mean age was 53.1 years. According to the results, the cancer patients needed more spiritual care than their caregivers (p < 0.01). Patients’ spiritual care needs differed significantly by employment status (p < 0.05). However, gender, educational level, and marital status did not have a significant difference in the spiritual care needs of the patients and their caregivers (p > 0.05). Moderately positive and significant (p < 0.05) correlations between patients and their caregivers were found for the total Spiritual Care Needs Inventory scores (r = 0.449), the meaning and hope subscale (r = 0.378), and the caring and respect subscale (r = 0.546). It is important to evaluate the spiritual needs of patients with cancer and their caregivers. In this evaluation, it is essential to elicit the perspectives of cancer patients and their caregivers concerning spiritual needs and religion. Effective spiritual care for patients and their caregivers can only be provided if their beliefs and priorities are taken into consideration.

This study aimed to assess the spiritual care needs and spiritual well-being levels of lung cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy (CT). This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 110 patients in the outpatient CT unit of a university hospital. Data were collected using a personal information form, the “Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale” and the “Spiritual Care Needs Scale.” The average age of participants was 62.6 ± 8.0 years. Patients with a university or above education level, civil servants, self-employed individuals, those receiving only CT, and those with less than 5 CT cycles had significantly higher spiritual well-being scores (p < 0.05). Spiritual care needs scale scores were significantly higher for married individuals and those receiving only CT (p < 0.05). In conclusion, both spiritual well-being levels and spiritual care needs were observed to be high among lung cancer patients.
