Abstract

Background

Due to the prevalence of COVID-19 disease and the growing demand for plasma therapy to assess its effectiveness, the potential impact of spirituality on plasma donation by COVID-19 patients, the role of spirituality can be considered more than before.

Objective

We decided to conduct the present study to determine the effect of spirituality on plasma donation in the recovery from COVID-19.

Methods

This was an analytical case-control study. The study population included all individuals who recovered from COVID-19, divided into two groups: case and control groups (90 subjects). The instrument used to assess spirituality in this study will be the Spiritual Assessment Inventory (SAI).

Results

The results showed that there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of total spirituality scores. The plasma donor group had a higher score (195.00 ± 19.70) compared to the control group (174.44 ± 29.06) who were not willing to donate plasma. Additionally, in the dimensions of awareness, actual acceptance, and magnification, the case group scored higher than the control group. Also, there was a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) in these areas as well.

Conclusion

The spirituality of people who donated plasma was higher than that of those who did not donate, indicating a potential correlation between plasma donation and spiritual well-being. Therefore, it is important to recognize and address the spiritual needs of individuals who have recovered from COVID-19. In this regard, nurses can play a crucial role in providing holistic care that encompasses the spiritual aspect of patients while tending to those with COVID-19.

精神因素对伊朗 COVID-19 康复者血浆捐赠的影响
背景由于 COVID-19 疾病的流行以及对血浆疗法评估其有效性的需求日益增长,精神因素对 COVID-19 患者捐献血浆的潜在影响,可以说精神因素的作用比以往更值得考虑。方法这是一项分析性病例对照研究。研究对象包括所有 COVID-19 康复者,分为两组:病例组和对照组(90 人)。结果研究结果显示,两组患者的灵性总分在统计学上存在显著差异。与不愿意捐献血浆的对照组(174.44 ± 29.06)相比,捐献血浆组的得分更高(195.00 ± 19.70)。此外,在认知、实际接受和放大三个维度上,个案组的得分均高于对照组。结论捐献血浆者的精神健康水平高于未捐献者,这表明捐献血浆与精神健康之间存在潜在的相关性。因此,认识并满足 COVID-19 康复者的精神需求非常重要。在这方面,护士可以发挥关键作用,在照顾 COVID-19 患者的同时,提供涵盖患者精神层面的整体护理。

期刊介绍: International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
