The role of spirituality in improving psychosocial well-being in women with breast cancer: a qualitative study
Findings of the present study revealed that spirituality contributes to strengthening the emotional and social support mechanisms of patients, helping them develop coping strategies, and improving their psychosocial well-being. Raising the sensitivity of healthcare professionals to spiritual care and integrating it into patient care can help address the psychosocial needs of patients more comprehensively. Furthermore, promoting spiritual counselling services may improve the psychosocial well-being of patients.
