- Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the independent effect of existential well-being (EWB) and religious well-being (SWB), two dimensions of spiritual well-being, on various measures of health-related quality of life (HQROL) in a sample of 804 young adults. Independent variables were measured using the EWB and RWB subscales of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale; dependent variables were measured using questions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's HRQOL -- 14 Measure. Linear and ordinal regression results found stronger associations of EWB, compared to RWB, with increased overall HQROL, more healthy days and fewer unhealthy days, and better general health status, respectively.
