The Relationship Between Spirituality and Quality of Life of Jordanian Women Diagnosed with Breast Cancer

AbstractThe aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between spirituality and quality of life (QoL) of Jordanian women diagnosed with breast cancer. Descriptive cross-sectional design was conducted using a convenient sample of 150 Jordanian women with breast cancer at King Hussein Cancer Center. Participants completed the Arabic version of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-being. A positive linear relationship was found between spirituality and QoL,r = 0.67,p = 0.000. The highest score of correlation was seen between spirituality and the functional domain,r = 0.63,p = 0.000. Spiritual intervention could contribute to increased functional, social, and physical well-being and enhance the total health and QoL of women diagnosed with breast cancer.
