The analysis results, SRS-A high scores revealed significant relation for "presence of friends," having roles," "having participation in activities," and "having interests and curiosity." In addition, the results for quantification theory type I showed that the factor affecting the spirituality of patients with mental disorders was "having support," followed by "being interested and curious about recent events," "having hope for one's future," "accepting illness in a positive manner," "having a specific goal," "having roles," and "having friends."
