          Abstract

          Meaning in life (MiL) is a key factor for ensuring spiritual well-being and quality of life among patients with life-threatening illnesses. However, the role of MiL in relation to the wish to hasten death (WTHD) and its interaction with other physical and psychological factors in patients with advanced cancer has not yet been studied.
