“…The study used two questionnaires of Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being Scale and the 23-item Ostomy Adjustment Scale to assess spiritual wellbeing and psychosocial adjustment to illness. Similar to the results of the present study, the Ayik et al study showed that patients with higher spiritual wellbeing had better psychosocial adjustment to illness [ 15 ]. In the third study, O'Connor et al examined the relationships between spiritual wellbeing and psychological adjustment to illness among 40 patients with leukemia.…”

Background. The aim of this study was to investigate the psychosocial adjustment to illness and its relation with spiritual health in cancer patients. Methods. This study was conducted in 2019 in Iran. It was a descriptive study with a sample of 124 cancer patients. Data were collected using two questionnaires of the psychosocial adjustment to illness scale (PAIS) with 46 questions and the Paloutzian and Ellison spiritual health scale with 20 questions. Results. The mean age of the participants in this study was 52.4±13.2 (range 18 to 87 years). The mean months of life with cancer were 16.5 months. The mean score of psychosocial adjustment to illness was 30.7±15.5. The mean score of spiritual wellbeing in the studied patients was 71.4±17.1. The results of the Pearson correlation test showed a significant inverse relationship between the mean score of psychosocial adjustment to illness and the mean score of spiritual wellbeing (p>0.001, rr=−.355). Conclusion. Cancer patients in this study had relatively good psychosocial adjustment with their illness. Spiritual wellbeing can increase psychosocial adjustment to illness in this group of patients.

“…Spiritual well‐being comprises feelings of hope, inner peace, and meaning in life whereas religious well‐being involves a feeling of comfort derived from a connection with a divine and eternal higher power . A recent study by Ayik and Cenan has demonstrated a detrimental decrease in spiritual well‐being of Muslim patients who underwent the formation of a colostomy or ileostomy. This was measured using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy‐Spiritual Well‐Being Scale (FACIT‐Sp) where multivariate analysis found spiritual well‐being and adjustment to a stoma were significantly related to quality of life …”

Aim The impact of a stoma on the health related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients is irrespective of faith. Muslim patients report lower quality of life and spiritual well‐being following stoma surgery as compared to others. This critical review aims to improve awareness of Islamic practices and HRQoL outcomes in this cohort of patients amongst healthcare professionals. Method An extensive non‐systematic search of EMBASE, MEDLINE and Google Scholar was performed for original research articles pertaining to health related quality of life (HRQoL), stoma care and impact on religious practice in Muslim patients. A narrative synthesis of extracted data was performed and presented using basic thematic analysis. Results The findings from the 10 original articles, including 954 participants, were identified. Perceptions of cleanliness emerged as a concern to Muslim patients with stomas as it is core to the performance of prayer. Muslim patients with stomas are known to avoid or reduce participation in prayers due to perceived inferior hygiene and fear of leakage. The consensus opinion from Islamic scholars is that they can pray normally, attend mosque and perform the Hajj pilgrimage. Stoma patients may fast in the holy month of Ramadan provided it is medically safe. Evidence suggests religion‐specific counselling can reduce the detrimental effect on HRQoL of Muslim patients following stoma‐forming surgery and increases engagement in social aspects of life. Conclusions It is important for patients, family members and healthcare professionals to understand the practical and religious implications of stomas on these patients for appropriate guidance and counselling.

“…Spiritual well‐being is conceptualised as an evaluation of spirituality or the spiritual health status, and it is composed of two dimensions as follows: religious and existential. Existential spiritual well‐being involves inner peace, the value of life and the feelings of hope, whereas the religious dimension includes a feeling of tranquility stemming from being connected to a sacred and perpetual higher power (Ayik et al, 2019; Edmonson et al, 2008; Li et al, 2012).…”

“…Spiritual well‐being is a valuable internal resource that affects the results of treatment, facilitates the psychological adjustment of patients who experience permanent physical changes, such as cancer or ostomy creation, and improves the quality of life (Ayik et al, 2019; Baldwin et al, 2008; Clay et al, 2011; Geng et al, 2017; Li et al, 2012; Salsman et al, 2011). A mixed‐method cross‐sectional study examining the spiritual quality of life revealed that patients with ostomy experienced a decrease in their hopes and the meaning of life (Baldwin et al, 2008).…”

Aims and objectives To investigate the spiritual care needs and associated factors in patients with ostomy. Background The significance of the spiritual care needs of the patients has been emphasised across countries and cultures in the literature. Design A descriptive, cross‐sectional study. Methods Outpatients with an ostomy (n = 127) were recruited from proctology, wound and stoma therapy unit and general surgery clinics between January and 28 March 2020. The data were collected using the Socio‐demographic Characteristics Form and Spiritual Care Needs Inventory (SCNI). SCNI has two components, namely ‘meaning and hope’ and ‘caring and respect’. Descriptive statistics, correlation, Student's t test, ANOVA and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyse the data. The STROBE checklist was used to report the study. Results The mean scores of the spiritual care needs (65.31 ± 12.83), meaning and hope (37.35 ± 9.37), and caring and respect (27.96 ± 5.63) of the patients with ostomy were found to be moderate. The most significant factors affecting the meaning and hope component were the age, being female and decreases in the level of income. Scores of the patients who perceived the severity of the disease seriously and who practiced religious ritual regularly had more spiritual care needs for the component of caring and respect. Patients with ostomy needed interaction, respect for their privacy and dignity, to be shown concern and to be respected for their religious and cultural beliefs, which were the most salient needs. Conclusions There is an unambiguous requirement for nurses to ensure spiritual care for patients with ostomy. Showing interest and spending time for the interaction with patients with ostomy, need‐based spiritual practices and life review are key elements of spiritual care. Relevance to clinical practice Evaluating patients with ostomy spiritually requires information about how spiritual needs may arise and how to talk about spiritual needs. The result of the present study may help nurses to begin the process of maintaining spiritual care for patients with ostomy.
