PURPOSE
Investigations into the role of spirituality in cancer confirm the association of good spiritual well-being with many positive outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate potential changes in spirituality over the course of radiation therapy (RT).
PATIENTS AND MATERIALS
The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual questionnaire measuring spiritual well-being and quality of life (QOL) was administered to adult patients undergoing RT. Scores were compared using student t tests and chi-square analysis.
RESULTS
Despite statistically significant declines in QOL measures such as physical well-being (P < .001) and overall well-being (P < .001), no significant changes were noted in spirituality for all comers. A significant increase in the Sp-12 spirituality measure (P = .001) was noted in patients with breast cancer, independent of age, gender, and purpose of treatment. Sp-12 scores were positively correlated with overall QOL scores (P < .001).
目的
对灵性在癌症中的作用进行的调查证实，良好的精神健康与许多积极结果相关。本研究旨在评估放射治疗（RT）过程中灵性的潜在变化。
患者与材料
对接受RT的成年患者进行了慢性病治疗功能评估-精神问卷，以测量精神健康和生活质量（QOL）。使用学生t检验和卡方分析比较得分。
结果
尽管在生活质量指标如身体健康（P <.001）和总体健康（P <.001）方面有统计学意义的下降，但所有患者的灵性均未发现显著变化。乳腺癌患者的Sp-12灵性指标显著增加（P =.001），与年龄、性别和治疗目的无关。Sp-12得分与总体生活质量得分呈正相关（P <.001）。
