description OBJECTIVE: To clarify the concept of spiritual needs and explain its meaning to older adults with cancer. METHODS: Electronic databases (Web of Science, PubMed, EBSCOASU, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP) were systematically searched and analyzed using “spiritual needs” as keywords. Rodgers' evolutionary method guided the concept analysis to identify attributes, antecedents, and consequences. Two rounds of Delphi expert consultations ensured accuracy, reliability, and feasibility for implementation. RESULTS: Spiritual needs express an individual's expectations of comfort and inner peace that satisfy his or her perception of the meaning and purpose of life, the ability to love and be loved, feelings of peace and gratitude, and a sense of belonging and hope. Spiritual needs have four dimensions: personal, communal, environmental, and transcendence or supreme. The attributes of spiritual needs include meaning and purpose of life, love and being loved, peace and gratitude, belonging, and hope. The antecedents include spiritual recognition and events that trigger spiritual needs and spiritual need thresholds. The outcomes of addressing and meeting the spiritual needs of older adults with cancer include promoting their spiritual health and enhancing their quality of life. After two rounds of Delphi experts' consultation, the expert authority coefficients (Cr) were 0.83 and 0.88, respectively. Experts agreed on the concept of spiritual needs. CONCLUSIONS: Exploring antecedents of spiritual needs in older adults with cancer clarifies obstacles to spiritual practice, offering intervention strategies for spiritual care and well-being. Meeting their spiritual needs enhances spiritual health and quality of life, essential in humanistic nursing care.
