| description | Living as end-stage renal failure patients undergoing haemodialysis can be a challenge because
there are restrictions in daily life. Spirituality aspects and coping strategies may play an
essential role in individuals' psychological distress. Therefore, this study aims to investigate
the aspect of spirituality and coping strategies with psychological distress in haemodialysis
patients. Participants were 64 patients undergoing haemodialysis in Kepala Batas, Pulau
Pinang. Pearson correlations and multiple regression were conducted to examine the
relationship and predicting the best predictor of psychological distress. Instruments used were
Daily Spiritual Experience Scale, Coping Strategies Short-Form, and Kessler-10. Results
showed that there were significant correlations between spirituality aspects and psychological
distress. This study also confirms that there was a significant relationship between problem-focused engagement and emotion-focused engagement with psychological distress. Likewise,
emotion-focused disengagement and problem-focused disengagement also reported having a
significant relationship with psychological distress. Additionally, emotion-focused
disengagement was the leading cause of psychological distress among patients. Therefore, it
implies that spirituality aspects and using the right coping strategies can help in managing
patients' psychological distress to lead a more positive and improve everyday life. |
