Research has shown that spirituality has a positive effect on mental and physical health; however, few studies have explored the influence of spirituality on purpose in life and well-being in persons living with HIV. This descriptive cross-sectional study was designed to examine the relationship between spirituality, purpose in life, and well-being in a sample of 46 HIV-positive men and women. Spirituality was measured using the Spiritual Involvement and Beliefs Scale-Revised (SIBS-R), purpose in life was measured using the Purpose in Life (PIL) test, and well-being was measured using the General Well-Being (GWB) Schedule. Demographic data on gender, age, length of time living with diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, employment status, and religious affiliation were also collected. Spirituality was reported to be significantly correlated with purpose in life (r = .295, p = .049) but not with well-being (r = .261, p = .084). Additionally, the SIBS-R, PIL, and GWB had alpha coefficients greater than .83, suggesting they are reliable and valid measures for this population of HIV-positive persons. The result that spirituality and purpose in life were significantly correlated offers the potential for designing nursing interventions and care delivery approaches that support psychological adaptation to HIV. Further studies with larger and more diverse samples are needed to better understand the role of well-being in healing.
研究表明，精神性对身心健康有积极影响；然而，很少有研究探讨精神性对艾滋病毒感染者生活目的和幸福感的影响。这项描述性横断面研究旨在调查46名艾滋病毒呈阳性的男性和女性样本中精神性、生活目的和幸福感之间的关系。使用修订后的精神参与和信念量表（SIBS-R）来测量精神性，使用生活目的（PIL）测试来测量生活目的，使用总体幸福感（GWB）量表来测量幸福感。还收集了关于性别、年龄、艾滋病毒/艾滋病诊断后的生存时间、就业状况和宗教信仰的人口统计学数据。据报告，精神性与生活目的显著相关（r = 0.295，p = 0.049），但与幸福感无关（r = 0.261，p = 0.084）。此外，SIBS-R、PIL和GWB的阿尔法系数大于0.83，表明它们是针对这群艾滋病毒呈阳性人群的可靠且有效的测量工具。精神性与生活目的显著相关这一结果为设计支持对艾滋病毒进行心理调适的护理干预措施和护理提供方法提供了可能性。需要进行更大规模、更多样化样本的进一步研究，以更好地了解幸福感在康复中的作用。
