Abstract

Purpose: To examine the relationships between spiritual health locus of control (SHLOC) and satisfaction with life in African American (AA) breast cancer survivors (BCS).Methods: A total of 118 AABCS completed a mailed survey. Logistic regression models were used to examine relationships among variables of interest.Results: Annual income and SHLOC were significantly associated with life satisfaction. In unadjusted analyses, high overall SHLOC increased the odds (odds ratio [OR] = 2.8) of being satisfied with life. The adjusted relationships between SHLOC and life satisfaction differed by income level. Among survivors with lower incomes, high spiritual life/faith and God’s grace subscale scores increased the odds of life satisfaction, when compared to those with higher incomes.Conclusions: Our data indicated that high overall SHLOC was significantly related to higher odds of life satisfaction. Further, SHLOC may serve as a resource to bolster life satisfaction, especially in low-income AA BCS.
