Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the correlation between spiritual well-being and psychological resilience in patients with liver transplant. 127 patients determined via power analysis participated in the correlational descriptive study. The study was conducted at a liver transplant hospital in the east of Turkey between October 2017 and October 2018. Introductory Characteristics Form which was prepared by the researcher as well as Spiritual Well-Being Scale and Brief Resilience Scale were used in order to collect the data. It was determined that the patients’ spiritual well-being was 34.85±6.70 and their psychological resilience was 19.96±3.54. In the study, it was determined that there was a statistically positive correlation between the patients’ spiritual well-being and psychological resilience (pË‚0.05). In the study, it was determined that the patients who went through liver transplant had a higher spiritual well-being and psychological resilience and as their spiritual well-being increased, their psychological resilience increased. It is required for healthcare professionals to examine the well-being and psychological status of patients at certain intervals and develop skills of establishing a therapeutic relationship with patients and patient relatives.
