Competence in providing spiritual care to patients has become an increasingly important aspect of nursing care delivery. However, studies on nurses' competence in spiritual care delivery and the factors affecting it are very limited. The present study was conducted to evaluate Iranian nurses' competence in providing spiritual care and its relationship with their Spiritual Well-Being.
The present study is descriptive-analytical research conducted in Bam in the south of Iran between 2016 and 2017. All nurses working in the teaching hospitals affiliated with Bam University of Medical Sciences were invited to participate in the study. For data collection, the Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) and the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) were used. Collected data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), Pearson correlation coefficient, independent -test, and one-way ANOVA with SPSS software.
In this study, 158 nurses were participated. The result showed that the mean score SCCS and SWBS were 101 ± 12.6, 76.92 ± 13.4, respectively. Pearson correlation test showed a significant and direct relationship between the mean score of SCCS and SWBS ( = 0.001, = 0.264). The results of this test also showed a significant relationship between all the dimensions of SCCS and SWBS ( < 0.05).
In this study, the nurses had a relatively appropriate competence in providing spiritual care to patients. There was also a significant relationship between the nurses' spiritual care competency and their spiritual well-being. Given the lack of adequate studies in spiritual care delivery competencies, it is recommended that similar studies are conducted among nurses in other parts of the country and worldwide.
为患者提供精神关怀的能力已成为护理服务中日益重要的一个方面。然而，关于护士在提供精神关怀方面的能力及其影响因素的研究非常有限。本研究旨在评估伊朗护士提供精神关怀的能力及其与他们精神幸福感的关系。
本研究为描述性分析研究，于2016年至2017年在伊朗南部的巴姆进行。邀请了所有在巴姆医科大学附属教学医院工作的护士参与研究。为收集数据，使用了精神关怀能力量表（SCCS）和精神幸福感量表（SWBS）。然后使用描述性统计（均值和标准差）、Pearson相关系数、独立样本t检验和单因素方差分析，通过SPSS软件对收集到的数据进行分析。
本研究中有158名护士参与。结果显示，SCCS和SWBS的平均得分分别为101±12.6、76.92±13.4。Pearson相关检验显示SCCS和SWBS的平均得分之间存在显著的正相关关系（P = 0.001，r = 0.264）。该检验结果还显示SCCS和SWBS的所有维度之间均存在显著关系（P < 0.05）。
在本研究中，护士在为患者提供精神关怀方面具有相对适当的能力。护士的精神关怀能力与其精神幸福感之间也存在显著关系。鉴于在精神关怀服务能力方面缺乏充分的研究，建议在该国其他地区及全球范围内的护士中开展类似研究。
