  ABSTRACT: Spirituality is the sense of connection to something greater than ourselves and the search for meaning in life. The research aims to explore the impact of spirituality on the quality of life among the geriatric population. Using a quantitative method with a between-group design, the study assessed quality of life as a dependent variable at two levels: high spirituality and low spirituality. This approach compared the quality of life between participants with high and low levels of spirituality. An independent samples t-test was conducted to examine the impact of spirituality on quality of life. The result yielded a t value of 4.06 with 74 degrees of freedom, which was found to be significant at the 0.05 level [t (74) = 4.06, p
