| Summary: | Patients were separated into two groups: (1) non-waiting list (NWL) and (2) waiting list (WL) for the lung transplantation. We found greater levels of the faith and spirituality, in those awaiting transplantation. In the NWL group, higher ‘meaning’ was associated with higher ‘vitality,’ ‘emotional well-being,’ and ‘mental health’; higher ‘peace’ was associated with higher ‘mental health.’ In the WL group, higher ‘peace’ was associated with and better ‘mental health’ and ‘emotional well-being.’ Regardless of whether patients are lung transplantation candidates or not, spirituality/religiosity may help those with lung diseases cope better with their disease and have better quality of life. |
