Effectiveness of Spiritual Health Promotion Package Based on Flourishing the Basic Beliefs of Kidney Cancer Patients

Cancer patients face many challenges. They are trying to use spiritual approaches to adapt to these challenges. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a spiritual health promotion package based on the basic beliefs of kidney cancer patients in Tehran.

The research method was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design with a control group. The statistical population was all people with kidney cancer who were members of the Tehran Kidney Cancer Society in 2022-2023, and 30 people were selected in a targeted way and randomly assigned to the experimental group and the control group. The health promotion package based on spiritual prosperity was implemented in the experimental group. Catlin and Epstein's (1992) Basic Beliefs Questionnaire was used to collect information. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software and variance analysis or repeated measurement.

The results indicate that the mean scores of the patients' basic beliefs between the experimental and control groups have a significant difference (P<0.001) and the spiritual health promotion package based on prosperity increases the patients' basic beliefs in patients with kidney cancer in a stable manner (P<0.001).

According to the results, the spiritual health promotion package can be effective in improving the basic beliefs of kidney cancer patients.
