Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı bipolar bozukluk tanısı konulan kadın hastalarda işlevsellik ve manevi iyilik hali arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir.
Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı türde yapıldı. Araştırma Ocak 2023 ile Ocak 2024 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’nin doğusunda bulunan bir hastanenin psikiyatri polikliniğine başvuran 61 kadın bipolar hastası ile yürütülmüştür. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Bipolar Bozukluk İşlevsellik Ölçeği (BBİÖ) ve Manevi İyilik Hali Ölçeği (FACIT-Sp-12) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin değerlendirilmesinde; sayı, ortalama, yüzdelik dağılımlar, standart sapma ve pearson korelasyon analizleri kullanıldı.
Bulgular: Araştırma katılımcılarının BBİÖ toplam puan ortalamasının 96.21±20.02 olduğu, FACIT-Sp-12 toplam puan ortalamasının ise 31.26±9.35 olduğu bulundu. Bipolar bozukluk tanısı konulan kadın hastaların işlevsellik ve manevi iyi oluş puan ortalamaları arasında pozitif yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuçlar: Bipolar bozukluk tanısı konulan kadın hastaların işlevselliklerinin orta düzeyde olduğu, manevi iyilik hali düzeylerinin ise ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu belirlendi. Bipolar bozukluk tanısı konulan kadın hastaların işlevsellikleri ve manevi iyilik halleri arasında pozitif yönde bir ilişki olduğu tespit edildi.

Aim: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between functionality and spiritual well-being in female patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Methods: The research was conducted in a descriptive and correlational study. The research was conducted with 61 female bipolar patients who applied to the psychiatric outpatient clinic of a hospital in eastern Türkiye between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024. Personal Information Form, Bipolar Disorder Functioning Scale (BDFQ) and Spiritual Well-Being Scale (FACIT-Sp-12) were used to collect research data. In evaluating research data; Number, mean, percentage distributions, standard deviation and Pearson correlation analyzes were used.
Results: It was found that the research participants' mean BDFQ total score was 96.21±20.02, and the FACIT-Sp-12 total score mean was 31.26±9.35. It was determined that there was a positive, statistically significant relationship between the functionality and spiritual well-being score averages of female patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
Conclusion: It was determined that the functionality of female patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder was at an average level, and their spiritual well-being levels were above average. A positive relationship was found between the functionality and spiritual well-being of female patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
