Caring is a core value in nursing education and many of its features can be measured as specific behaviors. It is not clear how nurses' spirituality affects their caring behavior.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between spirituality and spiritual care and nursing students' perceptions of care.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. The study sample consisted of 467 students in the nursing department of a university in Northeastern Anatolia. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Care Assessment Report Evaluation Q-sort (CARE-Q), and the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS). Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, t-test, analysis of variance, and Kruskal-Wallis H, Mann-Whitney U, correlation, and regression tests.
The mean age of the participants was 21.14 ± 1.97 years, 55.0% were women, and 63.0% said that nursing was their preferred profession. Most of the students rated their knowledge of spirituality and spiritual care as adequate (17.6%) or partially adequate (48.0%). CARE-Q and SSCRS scores were significantly higher among female students who chose a career in nursing to help people, want to obtain their master's degree, and agreed that providing care is nurses' primary duty (p < 0.05). There was a weak positive correlation between CARE-Q and SSCRS scores (p < 0.001; r = 0.369).
There was a significant relationship between CARE-Q and SSCRS scores (p < 0.05).
To promote holistic care, nursing students should be provided training on spirituality and spiritual care, with emphasis on the role of nurses in care.
关爱是护理教育的核心价值观，其许多特征可以衡量为具体行为。目前尚不清楚护士的灵性如何影响他们的关爱行为。
本研究旨在探讨灵性与精神关怀以及护理学生对关怀的看法之间的关系。
这是一项描述性的横断面研究。研究样本由东北安纳托利亚一所大学护理系的 467 名学生组成。使用描述性信息表、关怀评估报告评价 Q 分类（CARE-Q）和精神与精神关怀评分量表（SSCRS）收集数据。采用频数、百分比、均数、t 检验、方差分析、Kruskal-Wallis H、Mann-Whitney U、相关和回归检验分析数据。
参与者的平均年龄为 21.14±1.97 岁，55.0%为女性，63.0%表示护理是他们首选的职业。大多数学生认为他们对灵性和精神关怀的知识足够（17.6%）或部分足够（48.0%）。选择护理职业以帮助他人、希望获得硕士学位、并认为提供护理是护士的主要职责的女学生，其 CARE-Q 和 SSCRS 评分显著较高（p<0.05）。CARE-Q 和 SSCRS 评分之间存在弱正相关（p<0.001；r=0.369）。
CARE-Q 和 SSCRS 评分之间存在显著关系（p<0.05）。
为促进整体护理，应向护理学生提供有关灵性和精神关怀的培训，重点强调护士在护理中的作用。
