Abstract

The authors' aim in this study was to determine the relationship between spiritual well-being, hope and depression in gynecologic oncology patients. This is a descriptive and correlational study. The patients received a total of 41.59 +/- 12.11 points from the Spiritual Well-Being Scale, 5.57 +/- 4.19 points from the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and 14.92 +/- 11.61 points from the Beck Depression Scale. Gynecologic oncology patients had high spiritual well-being levels and low hopelessness and depression levels, and their hopelessness and depression levels decreased and hope levels increased as their spiritual well-being levels increased.
