Abstract
This study was planned as a descriptive study to determine the spiritual well-being of patients receiving treatment in intensive care unit and the factors affecting their spiritual well-being. This descriptive study was carried out with the participation of 156 patients who were receiving treatment in the intensive care unit of a university hospital, who were willing to participate in the study and who were able to communicate. In the study, the data were collected by using a 19-question survey form and the Spiritual Well-being Scale. In this study, it was found that the Spiritual Well-being scale scores of the patients treated in intensive care were above moderate. In line with the results found, it is recommended for intensive care unit nurses to consider the spiritual needs of patients and provide spiritually supportive care accordingly in the care and treatment processes of the patients.
