Data were analyzed using frequency distributions, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the needs was set by using the Prioritization Needs Index (PNIModified).
The results showed that the overall spiritual well-being needs in the patients with end-stage renal disease were high (M=3.75, SD=0.69) and all components of spiritual well-being were also high. The first component was happiness and peace from goodness which showed the highest mean score (M=4.01, SD=0.70), followed by the mean scores of mindfulness, meditation and intellect, the third component (M=3.87, SD=0.73), and the second component of joyful working and living (M=3.52, SD=0.62) respectively. Moreover, the result of need index revealed the top three ranking needs including 1) patients felt confused, anxious and unhappy once they realized illness (PNIModified=0.20), 2) patients thought that having lots of money helps them to reduce suffering from their illness (PNIModified=0.16), and 3) patients thought that meditation practice to promote strength mind and calm mind can help them feel better (PNIModified=0.12).
