“…A German study showed that cancer patients' unmet spiritual needs were associated with psychological variables such as distress, anxiety, and hopelessness (Höcker et al, 2014). Recently, an Indonesian study with 308 breast cancer inpatients found that spirituality was positively related with emotional well-being and affected physical discomfort by mediating their emotional condition (Nuraini et al, 2018). Other studies also pointed out that the unmet spiritual needs of cancer patients affect their health care decision making, decrease life quality, and make them dissatisfied with care (Astrow et al, 2018;Balboni & Balboni, 2019;Forouzi et al, 2017).…”

Introduction: Although Muslims constitute nearly one fourth of the global population, many non-Muslims are not familiar with Islam. To address this unique need from such a specific cultural context, the present study aimed to examine the spiritual needs and influencing factors of Indonesian Muslims with cancer. Method: A cross-sectional research design with 122 cancer patients was conducted by using the Bahasa-version Spiritual Needs Questionnaire. Results: The degree of spiritual needs was generally high. Religious needs were the strongest aspect, and “praying five times a day” was the highest scoring item. Gender ( p = .04), age ( p = .01), and duration of being diagnosed with cancer ( p = .01) were associated with spiritual needs. Female gender ( p = .005) and older age ( p < .001) were predictors of spiritual needs. Discussion: As expected to provide cultural-congruent spiritual interventions, nurses could meet Muslim patients’ need to pray five times a day during hospitalization, thus help them manage and endure the illness.
