People's experiences of living with cancer suggest that spirituality creates purpose and meaning in life for patients. Strengthening spirituality has positive effects on coping, mental health, and symptoms of the disease. This study examines the effect of spiritual care on adolescents coping with cancer. This research is a single-group, quasi-experimental, pre-/poststudy conducted on 32 adolescents. The spiritual care program was presented individually and face to face over six 45-minute sessions held on the admission days. Data were collected using the Ways of Coping Questionnaire by Lazarus and Folkman. A significant difference was observed between the pretest and posttest mean values in all the coping subscales, which suggests the effect of spiritual care on adolescents' coping with cancer, but no significant differences were observed between the posttest and follow-up mean values, which shows the importance of the continuity of spiritual care in adolescent patients. According to the results, spirituality-based care programs offered by nurses can positively affect adolescents' coping with cancer and improve their overall coping.
人们与癌症共存的经历表明，精神层面能为患者创造生活的目标和意义。强化精神层面会对应对方式、心理健康及疾病症状产生积极影响。本研究考察了精神关怀对青少年应对癌症的影响。本研究是对32名青少年进行的单组、准实验性的前后测研究。精神关怀项目在入院日通过六个45分钟的疗程以一对一的方式面对面进行。数据采用拉扎勒斯和福克曼的应对方式问卷收集。在所有应对分量表的前测和后测均值之间观察到显著差异，这表明精神关怀对青少年应对癌症有影响，但在后测和随访均值之间未观察到显著差异，这显示了精神关怀对青少年患者持续的重要性。根据研究结果，护士提供的基于精神层面的关怀项目能对青少年应对癌症产生积极影响，并改善他们的整体应对能力。
