Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of spirituality on the quality of life in people living with HIV/AIDS. The survey was conducted with 260 people living with HIV/AIDS to analyze the effect of sociodemographic factors, spiritual experience in ordinary life, value and belief, forgiveness, personal religious life, religious/spiritual response skills and the spiritual factor of religious support. As a result of the OLS regression analysis, the income level, seriousness of illness, forgiveness and religious/spiritual response skill were found to have an effect on the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS. This study proved that spiritual factors as well as demographic factors strongly influence the quality of life in people with HIV/AIDS. In summary, the effect of spirituality on the quality of life was discussed and on the basis of the results, it is deemed necessary to emphasize spirituality factors to improve the mental health of people living with HIV/AIDS. The limitations of this study are discussed and future investigations envisaged.
