The spiritual dimension of holistic nursing is an area that has been neglected within nursing education. The purpose of this project was to develop and test a spirituality-focused nursing student education project designed to enhance the knowledge and understanding of spiritual care among nursing students. The researchers anticipated that the pilot program would result in a spiritually focused clinical experience that could be permanently implemented in the course and integrated throughout other clinical courses in the curriculum.
The Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) was used to measure students' knowledge and understanding of spirituality and spiritual care. Following the administration of the pretest, a set of educational strategies was implemented to promote the spiritual knowledge and attitudes of nursing students. Examples of strategies used included a half-day educational presentation as well as the incorporation of presence, prayer, reminiscence, and chapel visits into resident care.
Significant differences were seen between student total pretest and posttest scores on the SSCRS (t = -2.893, P = .018) as well as individual instrument items when compared before and after the intervention.
This pilot project focused on a spirituality-focused nursing student education project designed to enhance the knowledge and understanding of spiritual care among nursing students. Results indicated that the pilot program was beneficial and should be disseminated more widely.
整体护理的精神层面是护理教育中一个被忽视的领域。本项目的目的是开发并测试一个以精神性为重点的护理学生教育项目，旨在增强护理学生对精神护理的知识和理解。研究人员预计，该试点项目将带来一次以精神性为重点的临床体验，可在该课程中永久实施，并整合到课程中的其他临床课程中。
使用精神性与精神护理评定量表（SSCRS）来衡量学生对精神性和精神护理的知识及理解。在进行预测试后，实施了一系列教育策略以提升护理学生的精神知识和态度。所采用的策略示例包括半天的教育讲座，以及将陪伴、祈祷、回忆和参观教堂纳入住院患者护理中。
在SSCRS上，学生预测试和后测试的总分之间（t = -2.893，P = .018）以及干预前后比较的各个量表项目之间均存在显著差异。
这个试点项目聚焦于一个以精神性为重点的护理学生教育项目，旨在增强护理学生对精神护理的知识和理解。结果表明该试点项目是有益的，应更广泛地推广。
