Intervention based on teaching spirituality in 8 sessions for 8 weeks (each 90 minutes) was made. After these sessions, both groups took the test of life quality. Two months later, both groups retook the test of life quality as follow up. The data was analyzed by covariance analysis, which show the there is a significance difference between mean scores of posttest for experiment group and control group (p<0.01). So, intervention based on teaching spirituality improved life quality in experiment group.
