In North American society people have diverse cultural and religious affiliations. The nursing profession underlines the importance of including patients’ spirituality in giving holistic care. However, studies suggest that the majority of nurses do not include the spiritual dimension on a regular basis. Therefore, we thought it important to focus on undergraduate nurses’ understanding of spirituality as well as on their perception of the nurse’s role in this area. We conducted a quantitative and descriptive cross-sectional study, which gave us an overall view of the students’ perceptions. Three hundred and forty-five students answered an online survey which included French translations of the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale and the Students Survey of Spiritual Care. Analysis of the results indicated that the students’ perception of spirituality is a contemporary one. The majority agree that nurses should include spirituality in their care but do not feel equipped to do so adequately. A comparative analysis showed that the students’ answers differed significantly depending on their cultural affiliation as well as on their affiliation or not with a religion. Recommendations for teaching purposes will also be presented.
在北美社会，人们有着不同的文化和宗教信仰。护理行业强调在提供整体护理时纳入患者精神层面的重要性。然而，研究表明，大多数护士并没有定期将精神层面纳入护理工作。因此，我们认为关注本科护理学生对精神层面的理解以及他们对护士在这一领域角色的认知非常重要。我们开展了一项定量描述性横断面研究，从而全面了解学生的认知情况。345名学生回答了一项在线调查，该调查包括《精神层面与精神护理评定量表》和《学生精神护理调查问卷》的法语翻译版本。结果分析表明，学生对精神层面的认知是符合当代情况的。大多数人认同护士应在护理中纳入精神层面，但觉得自己没有足够的能力做到这一点。一项对比分析显示，学生的回答因文化信仰以及是否有宗教信仰而存在显著差异。还将提出用于教学目的的建议。
