ABS TRACT Objective: This research was carried out descriptively
and correlational to determine the stress-coping behaviors and spiritual
well-being levels of patients who received peritoneal dialysis as a result
of end-stage renal failure. Material and Methods: The study was conducted with 92 peritoneal dialysis patients who were treated in the adult
peritoneal dialysis unit of a university in Türkiye, met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate in the study. The data of the study were
collected using the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS), an information form created to determine some socio-demographic and disease-related characteristics of peritoneal dialysis patients. Results: In the
study, the mean SWBS score of peritoneal dialysis patients was
99.95±16.16, and a statistically significant and positive correlation was
found between age and SWBS total score, transcendence, harmony with
nature sub-dimension mean scores. It was observed that individuals
who said that they could not cope with stress had lower SWBS scores.
It was determined that patients who showed positive coping behaviors
with their current situations had higher total and sub-dimension mean
scores of spiritual well-being than others. Conclusion: It was determined that the spiritual well-being levels of peritoneal dialysis patients
within the scope of the study were high, and positive coping behaviors
increase as spiritual well-being increases.
