The purpose of this study was to assess the oncology patients' spiritual needs and activities. Besides, the study was to provide clinical evaluation of the feasibility and usefulness of the Patients Spiritual Needs Assessment Scale. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed by using a demographic and spiritual practices questionnaire, the Turkish version of the Patients Spiritual Needs Assessment Scale. The results of our study demonstrated that the most common spiritual needs of patients with cancer were "to address issues before death and dying" (100%), "feel a sense of peace and contentment" (94.8%), and "for companionship" (93.5%). Spiritually assessing a patient with cancer requires knowledge of how spiritual needs may manifest and how to talk with a client about his or her spiritual needs. These findings can help nurses to begin this process of providing spiritual care for patients with cancer.
本研究的目的是评估肿瘤患者的精神需求和活动。此外，该研究旨在对患者精神需求评估量表的可行性和实用性进行临床评估。这项描述性横断面研究使用了一份人口统计学和精神实践调查问卷，即土耳其语版的患者精神需求评估量表。我们的研究结果表明，癌症患者最常见的精神需求是“在死亡和临终前解决问题”（100%）、“感到平静和满足”（94.8%）以及“获得陪伴”（93.5%）。对癌症患者进行精神评估需要了解精神需求可能如何表现以及如何与患者谈论其精神需求。这些发现有助于护士开始为癌症患者提供精神护理的这一过程。
