Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using t-test, ANOVA. Results: There were significant differences in religious well-being according to gender (p =.001), religion (p<.001) and spouse (p =.040). There were significant differences in existential well-being according to gender (p =.025) and number of chronic disease (p =.013). There were significant differences in spiritual need according to education (p =.039), religion (p<.001), and spouse (p =.006). Also, there was a significant difference in depression according to number of chronic diseases (p =.015). Conclusion: The results indicate that elders with positive spiritual well-being were less depressed.
