Abstract

Facing crises, life problems, and illnesses, many people turn to religion, spirituality, and faith as a psychosocial adjustment approach. This qualitative study assessed the spiritual needs of fourteen Iranian patients who recovered from COVID-19. Qualitative content analysis resulted in three themes, including “composure” with three categories of “prayer”, “hope”, and “connection”; “meaning in the life” comprising two categories of “a new prospect of life” and “the power of nature”; and “global responsibility” involving one category of “the relationships between individuals, communities, and the world”. This study highlighted that patients relied on spirituality to cope with COVID-19 disease.
