This study explored homeless people's (N = 164) spiritual well-being (SWB) in relation to race, mental illness, physical disease, resilience, and trait mindfulness. The results of hierarchical regression analysis revealed that variables of race (p = 0.003), mental illness (p = 0.04), resilience (p < 0.001) and trait mindfulness (p < 0.001) contributed to participants' SWB. These findings were critical to research related to homelessness and service provisions in finding that homeless people with certain backgrounds (e.g., mental illness) might have lower SWB than their counterparts. This research also revealed protective factors (e.g., resilience) that could help promote SWB.
本研究探讨了无家可归者（N=164）的精神幸福感（SWB）与种族、精神疾病、身体疾病、适应力和特质正念之间的关系。层次回归分析的结果表明，种族变量（p=0.003）、精神疾病（p=0.04）、适应力（p<0.001）和特质正念（p<0.001）对参与者的 SWB 有贡献。这些发现对于与无家可归相关的研究和服务提供具有重要意义，因为研究发现，具有某些背景（例如，精神疾病）的无家可归者的 SWB 可能低于其对应者。这项研究还揭示了一些保护因素（例如，适应力），这些因素可以帮助促进 SWB。
