Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the levels of hope and spiritual well-being among relatives of intensive care patients. The data were collected using the Patient Descriptive Information Form, Trait Hope Scale, and Spiritual Well-Being Scale. The mean total scores on the Trait Hope Scale and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale were 48.24 +/- 8.37 and 104.99 +/- 8.06, respectively. The mean scores on the Trait Hope Scale differed significantly according to the employment status, income status, and the reaction of the patient's relatives during the visit (p < 0.05). A significant difference was found between the mean scores of patient relatives on the Spiritual Well-Being Scale according to the level of education, income, and the intensive care unit where the patient was hospitalized (p < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between the Trait Hope Scale and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (p < 0.05). This study found that patient relatives had good hope and spiritual well-being levels, and spiritual well-being increased the level of hope among patient relatives.
