Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the nuanced relationship between spiritual well-being and fear of cancer progression among individuals diagnosed with cancer.

Methods: The study was conducted in 2023 and utilized a predictive cross-sectional survey. A total of 398 cancer patients were recruited using convenience sampling. The Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and the Fear of Progression (FOP) scale were used for data collection. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 26, AMOS, and JASP to assess the reliability of the constructs and the potential relationship between the two main variables.

Results: The mean age of the participants was 49.14 years (SD = 16.16, 95% CI: 47.55 50.74). All constructs demonstrated strong factorial validity and reliability. Simple linear regression analysis revealed that spiritual well-being significantly predicted fear of cancer progression (R ² = 0.064, F = 27, p < 0.001).

Discussion: The findings indicated a significant relationship between spiritual well-being and fear of cancer progression. These results highlighted the interconnectedness of spiritual well-being and fear of cancer progression among cancer patients.

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Psychology is the largest journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research across the psychological sciences, from clinical research to cognitive science, from perception to consciousness, from imaging studies to human factors, and from animal cognition to social psychology. Field Chief Editor Axel Cleeremans at the Free University of Brussels is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide. The journal publishes the best research across the entire field of psychology. Today, psychological science is becoming increasingly important at all levels of society, from the treatment of clinical disorders to our basic understanding of how the mind works. It is highly interdisciplinary, borrowing questions from philosophy, methods from neuroscience and insights from clinical practice - all in the goal of furthering our grasp of human nature and society, as well as our ability to develop new intervention methods.
