Özet
The study aimed to determine the relationship between religious coping and the quality of life of hemodialysis patients in Somalia. This cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted with 174 -12 Health Survey hemodialysis patients in April–July 2024 in the hemodialysis unit of a Training and Research Hospital in Somalia. The data were collected using the Patient Identification Form, Religious Coping Scale, and Short Form (SF-12). A significant positive correlation was found between patients’ positive religious coping scores (r = 0.270; p < 0.05), physical (r = 0.177; p < 0.05), and mental quality of life and age (r = 0.363; p < 0.05). Additionally, there was a negative correlation between physical quality of life and hemodialysis duration (r = − 0.170; p < 0.05) and a negative correlation between mental quality of life and age (r = − 0.231; p < 0.05). In the multiple linear regression analysis, 15.2% of the total variance in physical quality of life was explained by occupation, positive religious coping, and duration of hemodialysis (F = 10.171. p = 0.000. R2 = 0.152; R = 0.390). The total variance at the mental quality of life level was explained by living with whom and vascular access with a rate of 13.8% (F = 5.363. p = 0.000. R2 = 0.138; R = 0.372). Positive religious coping was associated with improved mental and physical health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients.
