Patients were separated into two groups: (1) non-waiting list (NWL) and (2) waiting list (WL) for the lung transplantation. We found greater levels of the faith and spirituality, in those awaiting transplantation. In the NWL group, higher 'meaning' was associated with higher 'vitality,' 'emotional well-being,' and 'mental health'; higher 'peace' was associated with higher 'mental health.' In the WL group, higher 'peace' was associated with and better 'mental health' and 'emotional well-being.' Regardless of whether patients are lung transplantation candidates or not, spirituality/religiosity may help those with lung diseases cope better with their disease and have better quality of life.
（1）非等待名单（NWL）和（2）肺移植等待名单（WL）。我们发现，等待移植的患者信仰和精神层面更高。在 NWL 组中，更高的“意义”与更高的“活力”、“情绪健康”和“心理健康”相关；更高的“平静”与更高的“心理健康”相关。在 WL 组中，更高的“平静”与更好的“心理健康”和“情绪健康”相关。无论患者是否为肺移植候选人，灵性/宗教信仰可能有助于肺病患者更好地应对疾病并提高生活质量。
