The Effects of Workplace Spirituality and Self-Efficacy on Quality of Life Among Cancer Survivors: Empirical Quantitative Research.

Aims: To investigate the impact of workplace spirituality and self-efficacy (SE) on cancer survivors' quality of life (QOL) and develop nursing interventions.

Design: Descriptive survey.

Methods: Participants were cancer survivors treated at Chung-Ang hospital in Seoul. They were administered a questionnaire covering general and clinical characteristics, workplace spirituality, SE and QOL. Data were analysed using hierarchical multiple regression analyses.

Results: Workplace spirituality, SE and QOL were positively correlated. Higher education level, work in the health/medical sector, higher monthly income, undetermined cancer stage or not currently undergoing cancer treatment and absence of physical impairments or comorbidities due to cancer influenced QOL. Regression analysis revealed that SE enhanced QOL.

Conclusion: Workplace spirituality and SE correlated with QOL. Notably, SE actively enhanced QOL by providing inner strength regardless of the type of treatment or its physical damage.

Implications For The Profession: The findings have practical implications for the development of nursing interventions that aim to boost the confidence and positive assurance of employed cancer survivors in managing their condition and to enhance QOL.

Impact: Problem addressed: Understanding the impact of workplace spirituality and SE on cancer survivors' QOL.

Main Findings: Positive correlations between workplace spirituality, SE and QOL; SE as a primary determinant of QOL. Impact location and population: Relevant to cancer patients managing treatment and work responsibilities, contributing to improved QOL.

Reporting Method: Adhered to relevant EQUATOR guidelines.
