Abstract

Introduction: Spiritual well-being (SWB) is an important goal of holistic health care and affects the health of caregivers of stroke patients in the community.

Research objectives: To examine the effects of a Buddhist SWB promotion program on the SWB among caregivers of stroke patients in the community.

Research methodology: The study used a quasi-experimental design (one group pre-posttest). The sample consisted of caregivers taking care of stroke patients in the community, aged 25-59 years with 31 samples. The measurements included a personal information questionnaire, a Buddhist SWB questionnaire, and Buddhist SWB promotion programs. Content validity values (IOC) were .67 - 1.00. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the SWB questionnaire was .93. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics: frequency, percentage,mean, and standard deviation. The Dependent t-test was used to compare the SWB scores.

Results: When comparing mean scores of SWB among caregivers, the mean scores of SWB after participating in the Buddhist SWB program (M = 4.54, SD = .32) were statistically significantly higher than before participating in the program (M = 2.23, SD = .52) (t = 30.48, 95% CI 2.09 - 2.40, p < .001).

Conclusion: The Buddhist SWB promotion program can promote SWB among caregivers of stroke patients in the community.

Implications: Nurses should engage in activities that help promote the SWB of caregivers, including engaging in activities, finding role models, meditation, prayer, worship, practicing religious routines, and sharing knowledge.
