Spirituality and hope have been identified as important constructs in health research, since both are thought to enhance a person's ability to cope with the consequences of serious illness. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between spiritual well-being and hope in patients with cardiovascular disease. Using descriptive, correlational methodology, the investigator gathered data on a convenience sample of 500 patients with cardiovascular disease who were hospitalized in a medical institution in Iran. The study was conducted over a four-month period. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and the Herth Hope Index (HHI). The mean score on the SWBS and HHI was 86.21 (SD 12.46) and 34.80 (SD 5.05), respectively. Multivariate predictors for spiritual well-being were female gender (p = 0.047), religiosity (p = 0.018), and hope (p < 0.001). Significant predictors of hope were marital status (p < 0.001), educational status (p < 0.001), economic status (p < 0.001), and spiritual well-being (p < 0.001). Findings suggest that multiple factors may impact spiritual well-being and hope. Therefore, this study has implications for those providing care to patients with cardiovascular disease.
在健康研究中，精神性和希望已被确认为重要的概念，因为两者都被认为能增强一个人应对重病后果的能力。本研究的目的是探讨心血管疾病患者的精神幸福感与希望之间的关系。研究者采用描述性、相关性方法，收集了在伊朗一家医疗机构住院的500名心血管疾病患者的便利样本数据。该研究持续了四个月。参与者完成了一份人口统计学问卷、精神幸福感量表（SWBS）和赫思希望指数（HHI）。SWBS和HHI的平均得分分别为86.21（标准差12.46）和34.80（标准差5.05）。精神幸福感的多变量预测因素为女性性别（p = 0.047）、宗教信仰（p = 0.018）和希望（p < 0.001）。希望的显著预测因素为婚姻状况（p < 0.001）、教育程度（p < 0.001）、经济状况（p < 0.001）和精神幸福感（p < 0.001）。研究结果表明，多种因素可能影响精神幸福感和希望。因此，本研究对那些为心血管疾病患者提供护理的人员具有启示意义。
