Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effect of spiritual well-being on hope in immobile patients suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injuries. The sample size of this cross-sectional study was determined to be 100 immobile patients suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injuries via power analysis. "Descriptive Characteristics Form," "Spiritual Well-being Scale," and "Dispositional Hope Scales" were used to collect the data. It was determined that participants' spiritual well-being scores were 22.25 +/- 9.62 and their hope scores were 29.53 +/- 9.83. There was a weak but positive correlation between the total scores on the hope scale and the spiritual well-being scale (p = 0.001, r = 0.477). Among immobile patients suffering from paralysis due to spinal cord injury, spiritual well-being levels accounted for 22% of the variance in hope levels (p = 0.001, R-2 = 0.22). This study showed that as patients' spiritual well-being levels increased, their hope levels also increased.
