| Zusammenfassung: | This study aimed to assess the effect of spirituality on quality of life of end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD). A cross-sectional study was carried out in six HD Units. The sample consisted of 367 patients averaging 61.8 years of age. For the measuring of spirituality and the quality of life, the FACIT-Sp-12 and the Missoula Vitas Quality of Life Index-15, respectively, were completed. Social and demographic data were, also, collected. Spirituality and its dimensions such as Meaning in Life and Peace had a positive effect on Global QoL, Symptoms, Interpersonal and in Well-being. Spirituality can have a positive effect on the QoL of HD patients. Therefore, in the context of the holistic approach of the individual, health systems can include spiritual evaluation and care of HD patients. |
