In relation to Abaquin’s theory this nursing diagnosis is very suitable for it because it provided nursing interventions to address multi-dimensional problems of cancer patients. This provides a holistic approach to nursing care.Goal: after 4 days of nursing intervention the patient will be able to: •Acknowledge the stabilizing and strengthening forces in own life needed for balance and well-being of the whole person •Identify meaning and purpose in own life that reinforces hope, peace, and contentment •Verbalize a sense of peace/ contentment and comfort of spirit •Demonstrate behavior congruent with verbalizations that lend support and strength for daily living
