Abstract
AimsThe study aimed to investigate the relationship among physical symptom distress, sleep quality, depression and spiritual well‐being of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and analyse the predictors of the spiritual well‐being.DesignA cross‐sectional study.MethodsA total of 188 patients were selected. The collection tools were the Physical Symptom Distress Scale, the Chinese version of PSQI, the Geriatric Depression Scale and the Spiritual Well‐Being Scale. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted using SPSS 20.0.ResultsPatients with different treatments exhibited significantly different physical symptom distress. Furthermore, spiritual well‐being was significantly negatively correlated with physical symptom distress, poor sleep disturbances and depression. After controlling for the variables, sleep quality and haemodialysis treatment were the key predictors of spiritual well‐being.ConclusionTo achieve holistic caregiving for patients’ physiological, psychological and spiritual health, Nurses should evaluate patients’ symptom distress and depression when providing care for these patients to enhance their spiritual well‐being.
