The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between spirituality and hopelessness in cancer patients. The study used a cross-sectional and correlational design and included 650 cancer patients. The data were collected using a patient information form, the Spiritual Orientation Scale, and the Beck Hopelessness Scale. The data were analyzed by MANOVA and linear regression analysis. Cancer patients had high levels of spirituality (89.74 ± 32.79) and low levels of hopelessness (6.50 ± 5.61). A statistically significant relationship was found between the mean Spiritual Orientation Scale scores of the patients and their sociodemographic characteristics (sex, age, marital status, educational status, employment status, income) (p < 0.05). A statistically significant relationship was found between the mean Beck Hopelessness Scale scores of the patients and their sociodemographic characteristics (age, marital status, income status) (p < 0.05). According to the linear regression analysis, a significant negative correlation was found between the spirituality and hopelessness levels of the patients (p < 0.01, R = 0.503, b = - 0.641). As the patients' spirituality increased, their levels of hopelessness decreased.
本研究旨在探讨癌症患者的灵性与绝望感之间的关系。研究采用了横断面相关性设计，共纳入 650 名癌症患者。采用患者信息表、精神取向量表和贝克绝望量表收集数据。采用 MANOVA 和线性回归分析对数据进行分析。癌症患者的灵性水平较高（89.74±32.79），绝望感水平较低（6.50±5.61）。患者的精神取向量表总分与社会人口学特征（性别、年龄、婚姻状况、教育程度、就业状况、收入）之间存在显著的相关性（p<0.05）。患者的贝克绝望量表总分与社会人口学特征（年龄、婚姻状况、收入状况）之间存在显著的相关性（p<0.05）。根据线性回归分析，患者的灵性水平与绝望感水平之间存在显著的负相关（p<0.01，R=0.503，b=-0.641）。随着患者灵性水平的提高，其绝望感水平降低。
