The study adopted a cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational research design. The sample consisted of 213 voluntary patients admitted to a surgery clinic between April and November 2019. Data were collected using a demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being Scale-12 item (FACIT-Sp-12), the Pain Beliefs Questionnaire (PBQ), and the Pain Coping Questionnaire (PCQ). Number, percentage, mean, and Spearman's correlation were used for analysis. Participants had a total FACIT-Sp-12 score of 25.99 +/- 8.43. They had a mean PBQ organic beliefs and psychological beliefs subscale score of 4.44 +/- 0.64 and 4.96 +/- 0.68, respectively. They had a mean PCQ self-management, helplessness, conscious coping attempts, and medical remedies subscale score of 15.83 +/- 6.15, 9.41 +/- 4.63, 8.72 +/- 3.66, and 7.46 +/- 5.33, respectively. Spiritual well-being was weakly and positively (r = 0.445, p < 0.000) correlated with self-management and moderately and negatively correlated (r = - 0.528, p < 0.000) with helplessness. Participants with higher organic and psychological beliefs had lower spiritual well-being. The results indicate that nurses should evaluate both pain and spiritual well-being in patients.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNursing; Spiritual well-being; Pain beliefs; Pain; Pain copingArticle6154028403810.1007/s10943-021-01340-42-s2.0-8511046501234269958Q1WOS:000673170300001Q3
