Abstract

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between coping with pain in individuals with chronic pain and their levels of spiritual wellbeing. The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study. It was conducted with 148 participants who were experiencing chronic pain. Data were collected using Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ) and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS). Data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk’s test, skewness, kurtosis, Cronbach’s α, mean, standard deviation, mean rank and binary logistic regression analysis. According to the data obtained, it was concluded that participants’ levels of spiritual wellbeing were high, and spiritual wellbeing could be used as an effective mechanism for coping with pain. It is therefore recommended that training sessions and information meetings be organized to create awareness in health care and social work professionals and in those living with chronic pain and their families.
