Materials and Methods
In this descriptive-correlational study, 121 patients with thalassemia were selected and included in the study by available sampling method from the thalassemia department of Bam hospitals in 2018. The tools used included the demographic form, Polotzin and Ellison spiritual Well-Being questionnaire and WHOQOL-BREF quality of life. The data were collected by self-report method and analyzed using SPSS version 22 statistical software and t-test. One-way variance and Pearson's correlation coefficient were analyzed at a significance level of p < 0.05.

Results
In the present study, the average scores of their spiritual well-being (82.43 ± 17.35)  and quality of life (81.71 ± 19.55) were at an average level, and there was a positive and significant correlation between the average score of spiritual well-being  and quality of life (r = 0.44, p < 0.001).

Conclusions 
The results obtained from this research emphasized the necessity of strengthening spiritual well-being as a factor affecting the quality of life of patients. The design of a care plan to improve the spiritual health of thalassemia patients is emphasized based on holistic care.
