Moreover, mean score of LIFE EXPECTANCY (after intervention) had significantly increased in the intervention group compared to before intervention (the mean and standard deviationof changes were 13.35±14.07, p<0.001).Conclusion: Given the positive effect of spiritual self-care on patients LIFE EXPECTANCY in the present study, nurses are recommended to pay attention to spiritual dimensions of patients and include it in their routine care.
