Özet

Spiritual well-being has been evaluated as an important factor for both physical and mental recovery. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between spiritual well-being and medication adherence in individuals diagnosed with mental illness. The study was conducted as a correlational descriptive study. The study sample consisted of 410 individuals diagnosed with mental illness. The study was conducted in the psychiatry clinic of a university hospital. The data were collected using a descriptive information form, the spiritual well-being scale, and the Morisky medication adherence scale. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between spiritual well-being and treatment adherence (r = 0.856, p = 0.002). Patient spiritual well-being was significant in explaining medication adherence (R-2 = 0.48, p = 0.000). This study showed that spiritual well-being affected medication adherence in individuals diagnosed with mental illness.
