Abstract
The study explored the relationship between Spirituality, Irrational Beliefs and Resilience among Dialysis patients. Sample consisted of 150 men and women with an age range of 10 to 80 years. Sample was collected from various hospitals of Rawalpindi including MH, CMH, Benazir Hospital, and Fauji Foundation Hospital by using purposive sampling technique. Along with the informed consent and the demographics sheet, three instruments were used for the data collection, Spiritual Assessment Inventory (Hall & Edwards, 1996), Irrational Belief Scale (Malouff et.al, 1987) and the Resilience Scale (Wagnild & Young, 1993). Urdu versions of all three of the scales were used. Correlational research design was used. Correlation, Regression and Moderation were used to test the hypothesis. The results showed that there was a significant positive relationship between spirituality, irrational beliefs and resilience. Irrational belief was non-significant while spirituality was a significant predictor of resilience. Moderation Analysis suggests that the time period of treatment acts as a moderator between irrational beliefs and resilience. It has an impact on a range of healthcare issues, from specific patient treatment to more general policy decisions, ultimately leading to a more patient-centered and holistic approach to managing chronic illness.
