Full textAbstract:
According to Nanay emic ideas, shamanic disease, which affects a shaman in the period of his or her formation, also affects his or her relatives, who begin to suffer from nervous disorders and other problems but recover at their new shaman’s incarnation. A similar spiritual correlation within the group of relatives becomes apparent also when a shaman is involved in a situation which connects him or her with the spiritual world (murder, death, incest, etc.), so that the consequences of such events influence not only the shaman, but also his or her kin.
From the emic perspective, relations with the spirits have not only spiritual, but also biological components (emerging for instance, in the idea about the possibility of human-spiritual cohabitation), which opens up possibilities for spirituality to be inherited by descendants. These circumstances suggest that the social factors that unite the clan (exogamy etc.), are secondary to the religious factors, and probably used as a means to adapt to the spiritual problems that shamanists face. Running the danger of collective clan disease, people have to remember their clan peculiarity and exclusiveness and undertake common efforts for its avoidance. Being aware of their patrilineal descent and of their own place in it, people can define the circle of possible persons who are subject to similar mental and other troubles and who should look together for the means of a cure. The wish to ensure spiritual security results in the social prescriptions and taboos that form the patrilineal clan.

Background: Religious and spiritual interventions may have an effect on Alzheimer’s disease prevention. Kirtan Kriya meditation has been shown to mitigate the deleterious effects of chronic stress on cognition, reverse memory loss, and create psychological and spiritual wellbeing, which may reduce multiple drivers of Alzheimer’s disease risk. Objective: To detail a new concept in medicine called Spiritual Fitness, a merging of stress reduction, basic wellbeing, and psycho/spiritual wellbeing to prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Methods: The literature on the topics mentioned above is described, including an in-depth discussion on why and how each are critical to advancing the future of Alzheimer’s disease prevention. The many negative effects of chronic stress, and the benefits of Kirtan Kriya, are reviewed. The four pillars of basic wellbeing, six practical aspects of psychological wellbeing, and the four new non-sectarian features of spiritual fitness are then disclosed. Moreover, instructions on practicing Kirtan Kriya are offered in the Supplementary Material. Conclusion: Religious and spiritual practices, including Kirtan Kriya, are crucial components in the development of enhanced cognition and well-being, which may help prevent and, in some cases, reverse cognitive decline. The key point of this review is that making a commitment to live a brain longevity lifestyle including spiritual fitness is a critically important way for aging Alzheimer’s disease free. We hope that this article will inspire scientists, clinicians, and patients to embrace this new concept of spiritual fitness and make it a part of every multidomain program for the prevention of cognitive disability.

This study aimed to investigate the mediating role of spiritual health in the relationship between ego-strength and adjustment to heart disease. In total, 327 patients with coronary artery disease (138 women, 189 men) completed the Ego-Strength Scale, Adjustment to Illness Scale, and Spiritual Well-Being Scale. Results showed that both ego-strength and spiritual health had a significantly positive correlation with adjustment to heart disease. Results also revealed that spiritual health mediated the relationship between ego-strength and adjustment to heart disease. More improvement in adjustment to heart disease requires more improvement in patients’ spiritual health as well as to ego-strength.

People with CKD depend on religion and spirituality to deal with their chronic illness, and those are essential means of coping for those living with chronic diseases. The present study aims to evaluate ESRD patients’ spiritual wellbeing undergoing hemodialysis treatment and to identify critical variables associated with the spiritual wellbeing of those patients. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted, in which 367 patients undergoing HD participated. Patients were randomly selected from six HD units in various geographical areas of Greece. Data were collected through an anonymous self-completed questionnaire consisting of two parts. The first part contained questions regarding demographic, social, and clinical information such as age, gender, marital status, and duration of dialysis comorbidities. The second part assessed the patients’ spiritual wellbeing with the use of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being Scale-12. Multivariate analysis was performed to extract predictors or determinants of spiritual wellbeing of hemodialysis patients. Results. From the total of the 367 participants, 228 (62.1%) were males and 139 (37.9%) were females, and the mean age was 61.80 ± 15.11. Spiritual wellbeing had a mean value of 30.55 (SD = 8.22), which means that patients had a satisfactory spiritual wellbeing level. Multivariate analysis revealed that place of residence, marital status, educational level, and comorbidities could predict spiritual wellbeing in ESRD patients. Conclusions. There is much evidence in the literature supporting the positive effect of spirituality, health (physical and mental), and quality of life. Integration of spiritual wellbeing evaluation and spiritual care in everyday practice as a part of clinical care can increase the quality of the provided care and improve health outcome for patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Spirituality is known to be an important contributor to older adults’ and caregivers’ psychological and physical well-being. Despite this significance, their spiritual aspects are often overlooked within the context of treating and managing disease. Moreover, limited evidence exists regarding what specific intersectional identities of older adults and caregivers have the potential to cause disparities in their spiritual well-being. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify the extent to which intersectionality has been considered within the literature concerning factors associated with the spiritual aspects (defined as spiritual needs, spiritual support, and spiritual well-being) of older adults and their caregivers. Consequently, a five-stage integrative review was conducted using the protocol proposed by Whittemore and Knafl. This process yielded a total of 543 articles identified in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science in March 2023. Following the application of inclusion/exclusion criteria, 18 articles were selected for data extraction. Finally, four themes related to intersectional considerations were found: 1) The potential role of intersecting multiple identities in differences in spiritual experiences; 2) Older adults and caregivers, the pre-existing identities, that intensify the likelihood of intersectionality leading to disparities in spiritual experiences; 3) The importance of spiritual perspective in addressing challenges derived from the intersections of multiple identities; 4) Recommendations for professionals to consider potential intersectional factors in research and clinical contexts to improve inclusiveness. Findings highlight the necessity of adopting an intersectional lens within both research and clinical domains to prevent overlooking any resulting variations in spiritual experiences.

Psoriasis skin disease affects the patients’ health and quality of life to a great extent. Given the chronic nature of the disease, identifying the factors affecting adaptation to the disease can provide guidelines required for helping these patients deal with their problems. This study was conducted with the purpose of investigating the relationship between spiritual well-being and resilience in patients suffering from psoriasis. The present study is a descriptive-analytical work conducted in the largest city in the south of Iran in 2019. 150 patients diagnosed with psoriasis completed Ellison and Paloutzian’s Spiritual Well-Being Scale and Connor and Davidson’s Resiliency Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS v. 20, descriptive (frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson, regression, and t-test). The significance level was set at 0.05. The obtained mean scores were 54.84 ± 13.25 for resilience and 73.22 ± 11.13 for spiritual health. Spiritual health predicted 43% of the variance of resilience, and all resilience-related factors had a significant positive relationship with spiritual well-being-related factors ( P > 0.05 ). An analysis of the relationship between demographic variables on the one hand and resilience and spiritual well-being on the other indicated that an increase in the patients’ academic status, duration of the disease, and age correlated with an increase in their resilience and spiritual well-being. Also, male patients and married patients were found to possess higher levels of resilience and spiritual well-being. According to the findings of the present study, spiritual well-being correlates with resilience in patients with psoriasis. Considering the chronic nature of the disease, it is recommended that more attention be paid to promoting spiritual health in the care plans of these patients.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Spiritual care seeks to counter negative outcomes from spiritual distress and is notably needed in dementia. Such care needs disease-appropriate customization. Employing “cognitive apprenticeship” theory’s focus on learning from contrast, we explored spiritual needs salient within dementia as related to other disease states; we aimed to inform future dementia-focused spiritual care design. Accordingly, we conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews with 24 providers who serve older adults inclusive of persons with dementia. We sampled participants purposively by discipline (chaplains, nursing staff, social workers, activities professionals) and religious tradition (for chaplains). Our interview guide inquired about the nature of spiritual needs in dementia and stakeholders’ roles in addressing them. Hybrid inductive/deductive thematic analysis was employed. A thematic structure emerged with two themes: 1) spiritual experience in dementia compared to other medical conditions (sub-themes: the salience of (a) fear; (b) loss of self; (c) dementia’s progressive and incurable nature; (d) dementia’s impact on accessing faith); and 2) the need for spiritual intervention at the mild stage of dementia (sub-themes: (a) awareness in mild dementia and its influence on spiritual distress; (b) a window of opportunity). These findings pointed to possibilities for the “what” of spiritual needs and the “who” and “when” of implementing spiritual care. Implications included the imperative for dementia-specific spiritual assessment tools, interventions targeting fear and loss early in the disease, and stakeholder training. Researchers should study the “how” of dementia-appropriate spiritual care given recipients’ cognitive and linguistic challenges. Conjointly, these efforts could promote the spiritual well-being of persons with dementia worldwide.

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a cardiovascular disease affecting the patient’s life both psychologically and physically. Therefore it can reduce patients’ quality of life. Self-efficacy is one crucial factor that can improve the quality of life of patients with CHD to control risk factors. spiritual intelligence can make a person more able to interpret the life and have a positive meaning in each event, to improve the quality of life. This study used a descriptive correlation research design with a cross-sectional approach. This research involved 138 CHD patients as respondents in RSD dr. Soebandi of Jember, East Java, Indonesia, obtained by accidental sampling method. Data were collected using a Spiritual Intelligence questionnaire and Cardiac Self-Efficacy (CSE). The analysis of data used is Somers’d test with a confidence level of 95% (α: 0.05). Respondent characteristics include age, gender, marital status, education, occupation, income, smoking history, and disease history. The results showed that 86.2% of CHD patients had high self-efficacy, and 55% of CHD patients had high spiritual intelligence. Analysis shows there is a strong correlation between spiritual intelligence and self-efficacy (p = <0.001, r = 0.628, α: 0.05). The patients having high spiritual intelligence will have high self-efficacy. Spiritual intelligence comes from within the patient, which can be developed to improve the self-efficacy of CHD patients through the provision of holistic nursing care. Therefore, it is expected for nursing staff to assess patients’ spiritual intelligence, so they can provide appropriate nursing care so that patient self-efficacy can be improved, and patient health can be optimized.

Introduction The role of spirituality in health and disease is a complex and emerging area of research. Incorporating spirituality into the bio-psycho-social model of health and disease leading to the bio-psycho-social-spiritual model provides a more comprehensive framework. In this context, chronic disorders like primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) are of interest due to their intricate interactions between biological, psychological, and spiritual factors.ObjectivesTo study possible relationships between spirituality, immune parameters, and disease activity in pSS patients.Methods Patient recruitment for the study took place at the Autoimmune Sjögren specialty clinic, University of Debrecen, resulting in 112 patients. Assessing spirituality of the patients happened through 4 direct questions and the Sprituality Transcendence Scale (24 items). Besides, clinical data of the patients were involved in the study including blood cell counts, rheumatoid factor, immunoglobulin G, Sjögren-specific autoantibodies and disease activity scores (semi-objective and patient reported,). The statistical analysis was conducted applying group comparisons between spiritual and non-spiritual groups, and linear and logistic regression analyses adjusted for sex, age, disease duration, settlement type, education, living in partnership and smoking. Out of the 112 patients 4 gave incomplete response, and therefore got excluded from the analysis, resulting in a total sample size of 108.ResultsSemi-objective disease activity score (ESSDAI) and perceived vaginal dryness was significantly lower in the non-spiritual group. Spirituality was proven as a significant predictor of anti-SSB autoantibody serum activity and ESSDAI, while engaging in prayer/meditation and its duration predicted significantly anti-SSA autoantibody serum activity, perceived skin and tracheal dryness. Concerning logistic regression analysis, we found that an increase of one unit in spirituality reduces the probability with 81.6% of having a detectable, semi-objective disease activity at all. Significant associations were found between the duration of prayer/meditation and both semi-objective and patient reported disease activity scores and autoantibody anti-SSB with an inverse ratio based on logistic regression model.ConclusionsSpirituality is associated with immune parameters and disease activity in pSS. Patients with spiritual attitude are less likely to have increased disease activity. Besides being spiritual, engagement in individual spiritual activities, such as prayer/meditation has beneficial disease modifying effect. These changes are supposedly due to psychoneuroimmunological pathways. In addition to the biologically measurable variables, the alleviation and aggravation of perceived symptoms (e.g. dryness) are important outcomes of spiritual engagement and practice.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Abstract The lives of family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD) may change dramatically with disease progression in their loved one. Many rely on spirituality as a resource for coping. There is evidence that persons experiencing transition/losses, as a consequence of disease/illness, can experience spiritual struggles or a crises in meaning. However, there is limited research related to spiritual struggles among family caregivers of persons with ADRD, particularly in the beginning stages of the disease process. In this study, three domains of spiritual struggle were identified after analyzing 27 caregiver interviews using the constant comparative method: 1) changes in relationship with their higher power (e.g., feelings of anger towards, feeling punished by, feeling disconnected from, and questioning); 2) changes in spiritual practices (e.g., decreased participation as a consequence of feeling unsupported, judged, or misunderstood by spiritual communities); and 3) dissonance between previously held core beliefs and current life circumstances (e.g., feelings of shame, doubt, and guilt as well as cessation of self-care activities due to the belief that they must sacrifice everything for their loved one). Notably, 74% experienced spiritual struggle in one domain; 33% in two domains, and 11% in three domains. The majority of participants had come to resolution of these spiritual struggles by the time they were interviewed. However, 40.7% were experiencing ongoing spiritual struggles, at the time of interview, suggesting the importance of identifying and addressing spiritual struggles in this population over time in order to enhance coping and adaptation.

Background: Non-communicable chronic diseases are currently a global health problem. Treatment of chronic diseases is serious because it can affect the patient's quality of life and consume quite a large amount of treatment funding. However, pharmacological treatment cannot be effective if chronic disease patients are unable to manage stress. For this reason, therapeutic modalities are needed that are able to treat patients as a whole, both bio-psycho-social and spiritual, one of which is the spiritual emotional freedom technique (SEFT). Purpose: This community service activity aims to increase the resilience of chronic disease patients through SEFT training. Method: Activities were provided for posyandu cadres in Kayuputih Village, Sukasada I Community Health Center Working Area. The training method was carried out by giving lectures, demonstrations, guided re-demonstrations, providing media, and evaluation. Results: SEFT is a non-pharmacological therapy that is acceptable to participants. SEFT can be done independently with the guidance of media leaflets and video demonstrations. SEFT is considered a unique way of praying and is modified by healing efforts by tapping specific points on the body. Conclusion: SEFT can be an alternative choice for chronic disease patients to maintain resilience in long-term self-care.

Background/Aims The importance of resilience among patients with chronic diseases has been demonstrated, but rarely among patients with heart failure. This study examines resilience and its relationship with spiritual wellbeing among this patient group. Methods This descriptive study was carried out with 130 patients with heart failure in Iran. The tools used were a 29-item resilience scale and the Paloutzian and Ellison Spiritual Wellbeing scale. Results The average resilience score was 107±19.5. Among the demographic variables, age, education, duration of disease and the presence of other concomitant diseases were significantly correlated with the patients' total resilience scores (P<0.05). The average spiritual wellbeing score was 83.12, with results showing a significant and direct relationship between resilience and spiritual wellbeing (P=0.001, r=0.386). Conclusions: Levels of resilience have a strong relationship with spiritual wellbeing among patients with heart failure. Therefore, building resilience should be incorporated into holistic care of these patients.

Background: Spiritual care for patients at the end of life is an important element in their holistic care. The aim of this study is to assess the opinions of cancer patients with limited prognosis about the importance of faith in fighting illness and the factors contributing to a better adjustment to illness and to their self-reconciliation and spiritual well-being. Material and Methods: This study used a specially designed questionnaire for cancer patients with limited prognosis. The 30 respondents were patients with an estimated prognosis of less than 1 month, cared for in a unit with palliative and home care beds. Results: The patients emphasized the importance of family as a supporter in the fight against disease (90%), followed by faith (66.7%) and a care team (63.3%). The most common concerns expressed were related to the course of their disease, family distress, fear of death, and the Russian–Ukrainian war. Conclusion: Family and faith represent important factors in supporting and caring for a patient at the end-of-life. Patients who felt spiritually at peace and were supported in their faith by family and a priest had a better spiritual state.

Full textAbstract:
This study clarifies the concept of illness intrusiveness in patients with a chronic disease using the hybrid model method. To clarify the dimension, attributes, and definition of illness intrusiveness in chronic disease, three phases of analysis were conducted. In the theoretical phase, a working definition was devised through a systematic review. In the fieldwork phase, individual in-depth interviews were conducted with nine participants with chronic diseases. In the final analytic phase, the results were integrated through comparison and review. There are four domains and eleven attributes of illness intrusiveness in chronic disease. The domains include physical, psychological, social/contextual, and spiritual. The physical domain consists of four attributes: pain, fatigue, physical malfunction, and change of body image. The psychological domain consists of three attributes: psychological weakness, uncertainty, and stigma. The social/contextual domain is made up of three attributes: withdrawal of role play, limit of daily life, and burden of changing health habits. Finally, the spiritual domain had one attribute: unstable spiritual state. Thus, based on the study findings, it is necessary to develop a suitable illness intrusiveness in chronic disease assessment scale to assess chronic disease patients.

Objective: To develop a spiritual nursing care model to improve the quality of life of heart failure patients. Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at two government hospitals in East Java, Indonesia, from August to November 2019, and comprised patients of either gender aged 30 years or above having classic heart failure symptoms of weariness, ankle swelling and dyspnoea. Standardised questionnaires were used to collect data regarding disease, psychosocial, spiritual, demographic and environmental factors as well as stressors, formation of meaning, coping strategy, spiritual wellbeing, and quality of life. Data was analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. Results: Of the 222 patients, 124(55.9%) were males and 98(44.1%) were females. The overall mean age was 57.7±9.96 years. Overall, 33(14.9) patients were suffering from heart failure for >5 years, 36(16.2) had been hospitalised >5 times, and 8(3.6%) had no health insurance cover. Psychosocial (T=2.110), spiritual (T=1,998) and environmental (T=2,019) factors had an effect on the ability to assess stressors. Disease (T=5.497), spiritual (T=3.596) and environmental (T=3.172) factors had an effect on spiritual wellbeing. Disease (T=7.553), psychosocial (T=2.230) and environmental (T=2.625) factors affected the quality of life. The ability to assess stressors affected meaning formation (T=3.293), which had an effect on coping strategies (T=3.863), which, in turn, had an effect on spiritual wellbeing (T=9.776), and that affected the quality of life (T=2.669). Conclusion: The spiritual nursing care model was found to be influenced by disease, psychosocial and environmental factors as well as by spiritual wellbeing.

Background: Providing spiritual care has been identified as important in cancer care, especially for those individuals who are living with advanced disease. However, the busy nature of the current health care environment has created challenges for health care practitioners to identify spiritual distress and engage in appropriate interventions. Aim: This project was undertaken to deepen our understanding of spiritual care and the realities of identifying spiritual distress in a busy clinical environment. We sought to identify if there was a simple question that would be useful in screening for spiritual distress when used by the frontline provider. Methods: Patients with advanced disease (N=16) and health care practitioners (N=21) who care for them were interviewed in depth using an open-ended approach. Verbatim transcripts were analyzed separately for each group and themes identified. Subsequently, the perspectives from each group were compared, and common as well as discordance perspectives were identified. Results: Common views included spirituality as unique to the individual; spiritual distress as isolation, loneliness, and a sense of disconnection; spiritual care as listening, being with, and engendering a sense of connectedness; and identifying spiritual distress as needing a conversation rather than a single question. Contrasting views were seen in the difficulty health care practitioners had in describing spirituality, giving examples of spiritual distress and spiritual care from their own practices, and seeing a role for themselves in providing spiritual care. Patients, on the other hand, easily described these concepts and offered eloquent examples of their experiences related to spirituality and receiving spiritual care. Conclusion: Health care practitioners in this study struggled in describing spirituality and identifying roles for themselves in providing spiritual care. Patients considered spiritual care as important to their experience of living with advanced disease and expected it would be provided by their practitioners. The variation in perspectives could contribute to “missed opportunities” to support individuals and provide meaningful spiritual care.

Background: This review article aims to highlight the strong relationship between physical activity levels and healthy eating habits and quality of life. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive search of the literature was conducted using various databases and a range of keywords, including "quality of life", "overall health", "physical activity", "active life", and "older adults". It's intended to ensure that the search was as inclusive as possible, and we therefore included several different terms. The review included a variety of study types, such as randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and systematic reviews, intending to ensure a comprehensive and diverse range of evidence, in line with the best practice for such a review. To ensure a comprehensive and diverse range of evidence, the inclusion criteria for this review were established to filter studies that assess the relationship between ‘’quality of life’’, ‘’overall health’’, ‘’regular physical activity’’, and ‘’active lifestyle of older adults’’. The review included various studies, including randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, and systematic reviews, to ensure a comprehensive and diverse range of evidence, to gain the most insight possible, and a total of 27 studies were selected for inclusion in this review. This review focuses on the relationship between quality of life, overall health, regular physical activity, and active lifestyle of older adults. To ensure the quality and relevance of the selected studies, the search was limited to peer-reviewed articles published in English between 1982 and 2024. Results: Regular physical activity has a positive effect on physical health, mental well-being, social relationships, personal satisfaction and self-esteem, and when this active lifestyle is supported by healthy, natural eating habits, it has been shown to contribute to improved overall quality of life. Conclusion: In light of the research studies, it seems reasonable to suggest that physical function, active lifestyle status, and quality of life are interconnected aspects that may contribute to the overall well-being of older adults. It would be beneficial to consider the value of maintaining good physical function through regular exercise and an active lifestyle, optimizing nutritional status through a balanced diet, and prioritizing mental and emotional well-being. It is worth noting that these factors not only improve quality of life but also have the potential to lay the foundation for a healthier, more fulfilling aging process later on. It may be helpful to remember that even small steps toward improving physical function, active lifestyle status, and quality of life can lead to significant long-term benefits.

Objectives: Spiritual Transformation (ST) is accompanied by dramatic changes in spiritual beliefs along with major changes in behaviors, self-view, and attitudes. This study examined types of ST, as well as its antecedents and consequences in people with HIV. Method: Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze interviews about ST in people's lives in two samples: people with chronic HIV-disease ( chronic disease sample, n = 74) and people with HIV who identified themselves as spiritual ( spiritual sample, n = 73). Results: ST occurred in 39% of the chronic disease and 75% of the spiritual sample. These STs were generally positive (95%) and enduring ( M = 8.71 α 7.43 years). ST was most frequently associated with spiritual experience (in particular near-death experience), substance-use recovery, and HIV/AIDS-diagnosis. Main antecedents were substance-use disorder, education/upbringing, and desire to change. Further themes were depression/helplessness, confrontation with illness/death, social support, and lifestyle. The top six consequences include spiritual intensification, more spiritual practices, positive feelings toward self, recovery from substance-use, finding new meaning and purpose in life, and increased self-knowledge. In the spiritual sample, there was a common pattern of hitting rock bottom with drugs, having a spiritual experience (in particular a near-death experience), and joining a drug program. Conclusions: Positive ST occurs in a sizable proportion of people with HIV. Importantly, ST often results in an enduring substance-use recovery, and an improved quality of life as indicated by enhanced gratitude, appreciation, joy, sense of peace, and reduced fear of death.

Background and Objectives: In the care and treatment of patients in need of dialysis, spiritual experiences as a method of problem-solving in crises and problems can facilitate adaptation to dialysis. This study investigated the mediating role of spiritual experiences with ego strength on the adaptation to dialysis. Methods: The statistical population included all patients in need of dialysis referred to the Educational-Research Center of Abu Ali Sina Hospital in Shiraz City, Iran, in 2019. Out of them, 120 patients were selected by a convenience sampling method. The study data were collected through the Daily Spiritual Experiences Scale (DSES), ego strength, and adaptation to disease. Then, the obtained data were analyzed based on structural equations in Amos v. 21 software. Results: The findings showed that ego strength is significant with spiritual experiences and adaptation to dialysis. But the relationship between spiritual experiences and adaptation to dialysis is not significant. Also, the direct and indirect effects of the variables showed that ego strength as a predictor variable and spiritual experiences as a mediating variable could predict adaptation to dialysis (P<0.01). But the ego strength through spiritual experiences cannot predict adaptation to dialysis. Conclusion: According to the research findings, ego strength can predict disease adaptation in dialysis patients, but daily spiritual experiences cannot lead to disease adaptation in dialysis patients.

The concept of healthy-sick is no longer only related to the bio-psycho-social-spiritual aspects but also includes the physical and mental aspects. Chronic disease is a long-term and often incurable condition that requires continued management. Medical care, such as medication and surgery, is vital in managing chronic diseases. Non-medical treatments, such as positive thinking, a healthy diet, and fasting, can also significantly impact managing chronic diseases. Writing this article uses a library study or literature review. A holistic approach to health care can improve patient outcomes by improving physical and mental health, promoting better care coordination and communication, improving self-management skills, addressing psychosocial and spiritual needs, and providing patient-centric care.
