Introductory Characteristics Form which was prepared by the researcher as well as Spiritual Well-Being Scale and Brief Resilience Scale were used in order to collect the data. It was determined that the patients’ spiritual well-being was 34.85±6.70 and their psychological resilience was 19.96±3.54. In the study, it was determined that there was a statistically positive correlation between the patients’ spiritual well-being and psychological resilience (p˂0.05).
