Relationship between the level of spirituality and quality of life or psychological well-being in elderly patients hospitalised for heart failure
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction Spiritual care is increasingly acknowledged as part of a holistic approach in medicine. Aim of the research Establish the level of quality of life, spirituality, and psychological well-being in elderly patients hospitalised for heart failure depending on their gender and NYHA class and the analysis of factors determining spirituality in this group of patients. Material and methods A cross sectional study was conducted. A total of 211 patients with heart failure were surveyed. The Self-Description Questionnaire by Heszen-Niejodek, The Polish version of World Health Organisation Quality of Life Instrument Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF), The Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, and the Psychological Well-being Scale were used. Results The respondents with heart failure reported high values of general spirituality and were moderately religious and ethically sensitive. A higher level of spirituality means higher quality of life in such domains as general quality of life perception, physical, psychological, social, and environmental. Being male and of higher class of heart failure worsened the quality of life in most domains. The results of multiple regression indicated that the worse the condition of the disease, the more parameters of QoL affected spirituality and its aspects. Conclusions Planning any steps aimed at providing spiritual support in patients with heart failure should be dependent upon their gender and NYHA classification. Improving the quality of life of patients with heart failure may be achieved through ensuring spiritual support from medical staff. It would be beneficial to introduce some principles of providing spiritual care into medical staff educational programmes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
