Spiritually sensitive nurses perceive the spiritual attitudes and feelings of others. They play a positive role in providing spiritual care to patients. Spiritually sensitive nurses deal appropriately with suffering, frustration, and spiritual dysfunction. Therefore, the present study aimed to explain Iranian nurses' experiences of spiritual sensitivity.
This qualitative descriptive explorative study used conventional content analysis and purposeful sampling to explain the experiences of Iranian nurses (n = 19). This study used in-depth semi-structured interviews with 19 nurses, as well as maximum variation sampling to gather rich information (age, sex, religion, work experience, level of education, marital status, type of hospital and ward) from March 2021 to January 2022. The current study also employed Guba & Lincoln criteria to increase data trustworthiness and Graneheim and Lundman approach to analyze the content.
The research data showed 497 codes, 1 theme, 3 categories, and 6 subcategories. The theme of "Nurse's spiritual sensitivity as a higher perception and reflection toward spiritual care" included three categories of the spiritual and professional character of the nurse, perception of the spiritual needs of patients and their families, and the nurse's reflection on the religious beliefs of patients and their families.
Spiritual sensitivity helps a nurse to provide holistic care for patients and their families. Therefore, managers and policymakers should create guidelines to help nurses become more spiritually sensitive as well as to meet spiritual needs of patients. Further quantitative and qualitative research should confirm these results in other social and cultural contexts.
具有精神敏感性的护士能够感知他人的精神态度和情感。他们在为患者提供精神关怀方面发挥着积极作用。具有精神敏感性的护士能够恰当地应对痛苦、挫折和精神功能障碍。因此，本研究旨在阐释伊朗护士的精神敏感性体验。
本定性描述性探索性研究采用常规内容分析法和目的抽样法来阐释伊朗护士（n = 19）的体验。本研究于2021年3月至2022年1月对19名护士进行了深入的半结构化访谈，并采用最大差异抽样法来收集丰富的信息（年龄、性别、宗教、工作经验、教育水平、婚姻状况、医院类型和病房类型）。本研究还采用了古巴和林肯标准来提高数据可信度，并采用格兰内海姆和伦德曼方法来分析内容。
研究数据显示有497个编码、1个主题、3个类别和6个子类别。“护士的精神敏感性作为对精神关怀的更高感知和反思”这一主题包括护士的精神和职业特质、对患者及其家属精神需求的感知以及护士对患者及其家属宗教信仰的反思这三个类别。
精神敏感性有助于护士为患者及其家属提供全面护理。因此，管理人员和政策制定者应制定指导方针，以帮助护士提高精神敏感性，并满足患者的精神需求。进一步的定量和定性研究应在其他社会和文化背景下证实这些结果。
