Spirituality is defined as the way people experience, express, and seek meanings. It is a major concept in the field of nursing care. Nursing students who are trained and exposed to patients' spiritual care will be better able to take care of their patients' spiritual needs.
The study aimed to assess perceived spiritual care competence and the related factors in nursing students during the Covid-19 pandemic.
This was a cross-sectional study. The participants were 191 undergraduate nursing students at Guilan University of Medical Sciences (GUMS) that were entered into the study from July 29 to December 21, 2021. The spiritual care competence scale was used to measure spiritual care competence in the participants. It is a 27-item questionnaire with six dimensions including assessing and implementing spiritual care, professionalism and improving the quality of spiritual care, personal support and patient counseling, referral to professionals, attitude towards patient's spirituality, and communication. Data was collected using the convenience sampling method. Data analysis was done by SPSS software version 16.0 using descriptive, bivariate, and multivariate methods.
The mean total score of spiritual care competency was 106.8 (SD = 13.4). The mean total score of spiritual care competency was significantly higher in the native students (P = 0.031) and the students with experience of jobs in hospitals (P = 0.037).
The findings indicated an acceptable level of performance in nursing students in spiritual care during the Covid-19 pandemic.
灵性被定义为人们体验、表达和寻求意义的方式。它是护理领域的一个重要概念。接受过培训并接触过患者灵性护理的护理专业学生将更有能力满足患者的灵性需求。
本研究旨在评估新冠疫情期间护理专业学生的灵性护理能力感知及其相关因素。
这是一项横断面研究。研究对象为吉兰医科大学（GUMS）的191名本科护理专业学生，他们于2021年7月29日至12月21日参与本研究。采用灵性护理能力量表来测量研究对象的灵性护理能力。该量表为一份包含27个条目的问卷，有六个维度，包括评估和实施灵性护理、专业性和提高灵性护理质量、个人支持和患者咨询、转介给专业人员、对患者灵性的态度以及沟通。数据采用便利抽样法收集。使用SPSS 16.0软件，采用描述性、双变量和多变量方法进行数据分析。
灵性护理能力的平均总分（均值±标准差）为106.8（13.4）。本地学生（P = 0.031）和有医院工作经验的学生（P = 0.037）的灵性护理能力平均总分显著更高。
研究结果表明，在新冠疫情期间，护理专业学生在灵性护理方面的表现处于可接受水平。
