It was determined that 84.3% of them had not undergone heart surgery before, and 41% of them stayed in the hospital for 4-6 days. The total score of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale of the patients was 115.93±10, and the total score of the Herth Hope Index was 39.11±5.40. There was no statistically significant difference between the scores obtained from the Spiritual Well-Being Scale according to the descriptive characteristics of the patients who volunteered to participate in the study (p>0.05). A statistically significant difference was determined between the education level of the patients within the scope of the study, their previous heart surgery and the length of stay in the hospital, and the scores they got from the Herth Hope Index (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the patients had high spiritual well-being and hope levels, and there was no relationship between spiritual well-being and hope level.
