Abstract

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) significantly impacts patients' mental health, with dialysis often leading to psychological distress and depression. This qualitative study explored the spiritual needs of Muslim patients undergoing hemodialysis, utilizing semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis. Findings highlight the importance of religious rituals, practices, and spiritual support from healthcare professionals, family, and community in providing solace and optimism during medical treatment. The study emphasizes the significance of addressing spiritual needs in patient care to enhance health outcomes and quality of life for Muslim patients with CKD. This research contributes to the growing field of spirituality in healthcare.
