Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between spiritual well-being, religiosity, and religious and spiritual coping and quality of life (QoL) among the elderly undergoing hemodialysis. A cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, using a sample of 169 elderly. Data was collected using WHOQOL-BREF; Spiritual Well-Being Scale; Duke University Religion Index; and the Brief Religious and Spiritual Coping Scale. The results of the linear regression analysis showed that higher SWB, the use of spiritual coping, and higher ORA and IR explained around 17%, 5%, 4%, and 6%, respectively, of the variation of overall QOL.
