| Summary: | Spirituality involves all of the internal resources of the individual, including religion, the desire to live, and a commitment to life. This study was conducted to determine the effect of spirituality on psychological resilience in women with breast cancer who have received chemotherapy. The study was conducted in a chemotherapy unit between April and June 2022. The sample size of the current cross-sectional study consisted of 85 women who have received chemotherapy. For the measuring of spirituality and psychological resilience, the Spirituality Scale (SS) and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), respectively, were completed. In the current study, it was determined that there was a positive weak correlation between the mean SS total score and the mean BRS total score (r = 0.471, p < 0.05). In addition, among women with breast cancer who have received chemotherapy, spirituality accounted for 22% of the variance in psychological resilience (R2 = 0.22, p < 0.05). It can also be said that the level of spirituality of women may positively affect their psychological resilience. |
