ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the spiritual well-being (SWB) and perceived control (PC) in adult patients with heart failure (HF),and analyze the relationship between spiritual well-being and perceived control. Methods 125 patients with heart failure were surveyed with questionnaires by convenience sampling, including Control Attitudes Scale-Revised (CAS-R) and Memorial University of Newforndland Scale of Happiness (MUNSH). Results The mean score of the spiritual well-being was(6.34± 2.92), and the mean score of perceived control was (18.40±4.39). The patients’spiritual well-being was closely related to perceived control (P < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between the self-efficacy and the positive indicator of subjective well-being, r=0.46, negative correlation was between the self-efficacy and the negative indicator of subjective well-being, r=-0.17. There was a positive correlation between the locus of control and the positive indicator, r=0.38,while the negative correlation was between the locus of control and the negative indicator, r=-0.05. There was a negative correlation between the learned helpless and the positive indicator, r=-0.43, while the positive correlation was between the learned helpless and the negative indicator, r=0.06. Conclusions The spiritual well-being of patients is at a low level, as well as perceived control. The spiritual well-being of patients can be enhanced by means of improving the ability of perceived control.
