Abstract: (772 Views)
Patients undergoing hemodialysis often face physical, emotional, and psychological challenges that can downgrade their quality of life. However, their spiritual needs are frequently overlooked. On the other hand, spiritual care can improve mental health in these patients, reduce distress, and enhance resilience. By integrating spiritual care into routine care, it is possible to improve treatment outcomes and overall well-being of patients, and support their comprehensive recovery. This article presents the authors’ views on the importance of spiritual care for patients undergoing hemodialysis, drawing on the available evidence.
