ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
This study examined the effect of spiritual counseling on the spiritual well-being of Iranian women with cancer. DESIGN ANDSETTING:
a randomized clinical trial was conducted on 42 female cancer patients who were randomized to either an 8-week spiritual counseling intervention (nâ¯=â¯21) or a control group that received routine education/care (nâ¯=â¯21). Spiritual well-being (SWB) was assessed before and after the 8-week spiritual counseling program using Paloutzian and Ellison's (1983) Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS).RESULTS:
There were no significant differences on SWBS and its two subscales scores (RWB and EWB) between intervention and control groups at baseline (pâ¯>â¯.05). After intervention, there was a significant mean difference in SWB (pâ¯=â¯.001), RWB (pâ¯=â¯.013) and EWB (pâ¯=â¯.001) in two groups.CONCLUSIONS:
Spiritual counseling is associated with significant improvements in SWB in Iranian women with cancer. Interventions that acknowledge the spiritual needs of these patients should be incorporated into conventional treatments.Palavras-chave
