It is recorded that cancer patients have also been shown experiencing spiritualdistress. The study aims to determine the connection between spiritual well-being and cancer-related fatigueamong patients suffering from breast cancer during chemotherapy treatment. 112 patients who were undergoingchemotherapy treatment were recruited in this study using a correlational design. The instruments used inassessing spiritual well-being and fatigue are Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Spirituality(FACIT-Sp) and FACIT-Fatigue Scales. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Correlation analysis. Meanspiritual well-being score was 35.91 (SD = 6.89), and the mean fatigue score was 33.04 (SD = 9.58). Therewere a moderate and signifcant correlation between fatigue scores and spiritual well-being (r = .364, p < 0.001).Breast cancer patients who had higher spiritual well-being that means they would alleviate fatigue symptoms.Therefore, nurses should consider that increasing spiritual well-being would reduce fatigue and vice versa. |
