ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, yaşamın anlamı ve spiritüel iyi oluş ile ölüme karşı tutum arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın türü tanımlayıcı-betimsel ve ilişkiseldir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Türkiye'de yaşayan 18-65 yaş arası erişkin bireyler örneklemini ise 13 Ekim 2021-13 Ocak 2022 tarihleri arasında örneklem kriterlerini karşılayan 410 birey oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri; ''bilgi formu'', ''Yaşamın Anlamı Ölçeği (YAÖ)'', ''Spiritüel İyi Oluş Ölçeği (SİOÖ)'' ve ''Ölüme Karşı Tutum Ölçeği (ÖKTÖ)' ile toplanmuştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların demografik değişkenlerine göre ölçek puanlarına bakıldığında bireylerin gelir düzeyleri ile YAÖ arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmuştur (p˂0,05). Katılımcıların cinsiyet, medeni durum, eğitim düzeyi, gelir düzeyi, çocuk sahibi olma, kendi ölümünü düşünme sıklığı ile SİOÖ arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu görülmüştür (p˂0,05). Katılımcıların eğitim düzeyi, aile tipi ve kendi ölümünü düşünme sıklığı ile ÖKTÖ puanları arasında anlamlı bir fark olduğu belirlenmiştir (p˂0,05). Araştırmada yaşamın anlamı, spiritüel iyi oluş ve ölüme karşı tutum ölçekleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir (p˂0,05). Sonuç: Sonuç olarak spiritüel iyi oluş düzeyi arttıkça yaşamın anlamının da arttığı ve kişinin ölüme karşı olumsuz tutumdan ve düşüncelerden uzaklaşmakta olduğu söylenebilir. Kişi ölüme karşı olumsuz tutumdan uzaklaştıkça spiritüel iyi oluşunda artma olduğu ifade edilebilir. Elde edilen sonuçların yaşamın anlamı, spiritüel iyi oluş ve ölüme karşı tutumu etkileyen değişkenlerinin tanımlanmasında ve desteklenmesinde önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Spiritüel iyi oluş; ölüme karşı tutum; yaşamın anlamı
ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the meaning of life, spiritual well-being and attitude towards death. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive and relationship-seeking study. The population of the present study consisted of adult individuals between the ages of 18-65 living in Türkiye and the sample consisted of 410 individuals who met the sampling criteria between October 13, 2021-January 13, 2022. The data of the study were collected using the ''information form'', ''The Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ)'', ''Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS)'' and ''Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R)''. Results: An analysis of the scale scores according to the demographic variables of the participants revealed a statistically significant difference between the income levels of the individuals and the MLQ (p˂0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the participants'' gender, marital status, education level, income level, having children or not, and the frequency of thinking about their own death and the SWBS (p˂0.05). There was a significant difference between the participants' level of education, family type, and frequency of thinking about their own death and DAP-R scores (p˂0.05). A significant and positive correlation was found between the meaning of life, spiritual well-being and attitude towards death scales (p˂0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, it can be argued that the more a person feels spiritually well, the more meaning he attaches to life, which means the person moves away from negative attitudes and thoughts towards death. As the person moves away from negative attitudes towards death, there is an increase in spiritual well-being. The results obtained are important in defining and supporting the variables affecting the meaning of life, spiritual well-being and attitude towards death.
