Abstract
BACKGROUND: One of the main psychological problems in hemodialysis patients is hopelessness.
Spiritual health leads the patients toward hope and goal in life. Given the importance of the issue
and the little research in this area, this study aimed to assess hope and its relationship with spiritual
health on hemodialysis patients in Rasht Razi Hospital of Iran.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This correlational study carried out on 103 patients who admitted
in Rasht Razi Hospital Hemodialysis Center by simple random sampling. The data were collected
through Snyder’s Hope Scale and Spiritual Health. The psychomotricity of these questionnaires has
been confirmed in domestic studies. The data were analyzed by using descriptive and inferential
statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient).
RESULTS: The majority of the patients were male (59.2%), in the age group of above 60 (46.60%),
married (83.5%), with low income (60.2%), and under diploma (53.4%). The mean of hope score
was 36.36 (±9.10) that showed the high level of hope in the majority of the patients. The mean of
the total spiritual health score was 227.93 (±19.01) that indicates the high level of spiritual health in
hemodialysis patients. There was a positive and significant correlation between spiritual health and
its dimensions and hope (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study approve the importance of spiritual health as an effective
variable on hope among hemodialysis patients. Hence, health‑care providers and clinical experts
are recommended to focus on spiritual health to increase hope among such patients.
