Using two questionnaires; the spiritual needs survey and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL Questionnaire-C30 data were collected. The data were analyzed by SPSS software version 19.
Our findings showed that the total mean score of spiritual needs was (64.32 ± 22.22). Among the categories, the lowest score belonged to "morality and ethics" component (2.18 ± 1.64), and the highest score belonged to "positivity/gratitude/hope/peace" component (15.95 ± 5.47). The mean score of QoL was (79.28 ± 19.20). Among the categories, the lowest score belonged to "global health status" component (8.44 ± 3.64), and the highest score belonged to "functional" component (36.57 ± 10.28). Pearson correlation coefficient showed that spiritual needs score positively correlated with QoL ( = 0.22; = 0.006).
The results of the present study suggest that information about the relationship between spiritual needs and QoL in patients with cancer. It should be improve QoL to meet spiritual need of these patients. In addition, the continuous and in-service education of cancer patients and nurses who work with them can be helpful in this area.
