Intolerance of uncertainty and attitudes toward cancer as predictors of spiritual well-being in patients with cancer
The results of this study revealed that in addition to alcohol use and hormone therapy, the impossibility of recovery, discrimination, and inhibitory anxiety significantly affect spiritual well-being in cancer patients. These findings highlight the importance of addressing patients' emotional and existential concerns as part of holistic cancer care. Interventions aimed at reducing uncertainty and improving attitudes toward cancer may enhance patients' spiritual well-being and overall quality of life.
