The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between spiritual well-being and the supportive care needs of individuals diagnosed with breast cancer. This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 148 patients diagnosed with breast cancer who applied to the oncology clinic of a university hospital between October 2022 and January 2023. Data were collected using the "Patient Descriptive Information Form," "Spiritual Well-Being Scale," and "The Supportive Care Needs Scale Short Form." The subscale meaning of high school graduates is significantly higher than literate-primary school education. The meaning of the subscale of employed is significantly higher than unemployed. Those who did not need supportive care during the illness had significantly higher scores in the meaning, peace, and faith subscales. A significant, negative relationship was found between meaning, peace, faith, and patients' age and the Supportive Care Needs Scale Short Form. It was found that as the levels of meaning, peace, and faith in patients increased, their supportive care needs decreased. Spirituality can be used in a cost-effective and efficient manner to meet their supportive care needs. Therefore, nurses should consider the spiritual care needs of patients with breast cancer during the diagnosis and treatment process. Several limitations are noted with regard to this study.
