In this regard, the present study aimed to investigate the spiritual experiences of breast cancer patients. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. In total, ۲۰ eligible breast cancer patients were selected, through maximum variation and purposive sampling method, from the oncology ward of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Qom, Iran in ۲۰۱۹. The required data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews which lasted between ۵۰-۷۵ min. The collected data were analyzed using the six-step Van Manen method.
