Abstract

BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a global death cause. Al Qur'an bibliotherapy can help individuals appreciate themselves and handle difficult situations creatively. However, previous studies have overlooked the predictive role of spiritual well-being and hope in CAD patients, especially in Indonesia. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the effect of Islamic bibliographic therapy on spiritual wellbeing and hope among Muslim with coronary artery disease in Indonesia. METHODS This study used a quasi-experimental design conducted at cardiac intensive care unit, general public hospital in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia between August to December 2022. Data was collected before (T0), immediately after (T1), and 2 weeks after the intervention (T2). The sample of this study was patient diagnosed with CAD hospitalized with total of 76 were joined in this study. The Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and the Adult Hope Scale (AHS) was used to measure outcome. The analysis was used a repeated ANOVA test, Cohen's d test, and difference-in-difference estimate (DDE). RESULTS The repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a substantial rise in spiritual wellbeing scores within the intervention group following a two-week follow-up. The effect size of 0.45 indicates a moderate level of impact. Then, the hope how was increased from 30.42 ± 2.09 at T0 to 33.43 ± 2.05 at T2, with the effect size 0,31, indicating low level of impact. The difference-in-difference estimate (DDE) showed a modest rose of 5.43 percentage points for spiritual wellbeing and 2.38 percentage points for hope between intervention and control group. CONCLUSIONS Islamic bibliotherapy showed a promising result on enhancing spiritual wellbeing and hope among Muslim with coronary artery disease in Indonesia. The study provides valuable insights for nurses, nursing managers, and educators on effective spiritual care interventions for Muslim patients. CLINICALTRIAL -
