Spirituality can help people with different life experiences find different life meanings and values. Spiritual well-being is induced by spirituality. It includes both religious well-being and existential well-being. If religious well-being and existential well-being coordinate with each other, they can satisfy the individual's need for a relationship with God and make peoples' lives more meaningful. Today many tools have been developed to measure spiritual well-being and applied to clinics and research. In order to promote the spiritual well-being of patients, we need to understand how to evaluate and practice spiritual care and meet the different needs of patients. After reviewing the relevant literature, the correlative factors of spiritual well-being are arranged, including personal characteristics, demands of illness, anxiety, hope, and quality of life. In this paper the meanings of spirituality and spiritual well-being are identified. The tools used to measure spiritual well-being are described. The relative studies and correlative factors of spiritual well-being are explained. The importance of spiritual well-being in medical care is also introduced. It is hoped that this paper can provide a reference to promote the spiritual well-being of the individual.
