Introduction Patients' spirituality in a health-care setting is the effect on their behavior and health- related decisions. The United States states 60% of people that religion is the most important influence in their daily life. People who are hospitalized or outpatient expresses a strong spiritual and religious approach. Of the 200 outpatients indicated that more than 91% believed in God, 81% used prayer, and 71% felt close to God. The survey results on critical patients at Tgk Chik Hospital in Tiro Sigli revealed that 99% believed in God, 80% prayed daily, 95% agreed that spirituality is as important as physical health. The need for the spiritual aspect is especially important during periods of illness, where when sick, a person's energy and spirituality will decrease. Therefore, the patient's spiritual needs need to be met (Potter & Perry, 2005). Research conducted by Hodge et al (2011) on spiritual needs, in which patients revealed that spiritual need is the need for meaning, purpose and hope in life, its relationship with God. Most studies have shown that religious and spiritual involvement can promote far better health such as survival and health-related quality of life, as well as less exposure to anxiety, depression and suicide. Sujana, (2017) shows that patients really need spiritual fulfillment in their healing and restoration process. The impact of spiritual problems with patient satisfaction is something that absolutely must be fulfilled by every health service provider or hospital. Because patient satisfaction is the feeling of a person or society after comparing the results felt with expectations. Patients will feel satisfied if the results they feel Abstract Several studies have shown that low spirituality in critical patients results in reduced expectations, strength and motivation to face the critical conditions they face. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between spirituality level and motivation to recover in critical patients at Tgk Chik Hospital in Tiro Sigli. This type of research is descriptive research. The subjects of this study were 30 critical patients who were selected by accidental sampling. The variables in this study were spirituality as the independent variable and the dependent variable was the patient's motivation to recover. Data collection instruments in the study consisted of a demographic and characteristic data questionnaire, a Spirituality questionnaire and a patient recovery motivation questionnaire using the Acceptance Illness Scale (AIS). The relationship between spirituality and patient motivation to recover was analyzed using the Spearman Rank (Rho) test. The results showed that almost half (47.1%) of critical patients had moderate spirituality and low spirituality (29%); almost half (47.1%) experienced moderate and high motivation to recover (32.1%). There is a relationship between spirituality and motivation to heal patients (p = 0.002), where patients who have high spirituality have high motivation to recover.
