Description

Introduction: Death anxiety and low self-esteem are major problems in patients with Multiple
Sclerosis (MS). Spiritual interventions, along with other nursing interventions, can restore the
balance between body and soul.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of the spiritual care program on death
anxiety and self-esteem in MS patients.
Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 60 patients with MS were randomly assigned
into the intervention (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. The intervention group received
spiritual care program in four sessions. Templer death anxiety and Rosenberg self-esteem
scale were completed by samples before and after the intervention. Data analysis was
performed using the independent t test, Chi-square, and Fisher exact tests. The significance
level is considered less than 0.05.
Results: The Mean±SD ages of the intervention and control group samples were 32.8±6.39 and
35.1±8.35 years, respectively. The Mean±SD scores of death anxiety in the control group
12.27±0.85 and the intervention group 11.8±0.88 before the intervention were not
significantly different. After the intervention, the difference between the Mean±SD scores
of the control group 12.10±0.61 and the interventional group 8.13±0.71 was statistically
significant (P=0.001). The Mean±SD scores of self-esteem in the control group 14.63±1.51 and
the interventional group 15.5±1.5 before the intervention were not significantly different.
The difference between the Mean±SD scores of self-esteem in the control group 14.67±1.9
and the interventional group 18.03±1.85 was significant after the intervention (P=0.001).
The results of ANCOVA demonstrated a significant difference between the control and
intervention groups in terms of death anxiety (F=6.41, P=0.014, partial Eta2

=0.101) and self-
esteem (F=13.079, P=0.001, partial Eta2

=0.187) of MS patients.

Conclusion: Since spiritual care intervention in patients with MS reduced their death anxiety
and increased their self-esteem, this simple and low-cost care program can be recommended
for those suffering from this disease.
