Abstract
Objective: Hallucinations are considered one of the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. However, spiritual nursing intervention for patients with hallucinations has not become the standard of nursing care in a mental-hospital setting. The spiritual well-being of patients with hallucinations has never been measured and examined. This study aimed to determine the relationship between spiritual well-being and hallucination symptoms in patients with schizophrenia. Methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional study design. A total sampling technique was used to obtain the samples and included 90 patients. This study employed the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and instruments of Hallucination Symptoms Measurement. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the data. Results: The results suggested that there was a significant correlation between spiritual well-being and hallucinations ( p -value < 0.05), in which higher levels of spiritual well-being were correlated with fewer symptoms of hallucinations. Conclusion: The improvement of spiritual well-being is recommended to be incorporated in the nursing care of individuals with hallucinations. Keywords: Hallucinations, schizophrenia, spiritual well-being
