The present study aimed to explore the perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care among nurses who work in three different countries with different cultures as well as the factors influencing their perception. This is a cross-sectional multicultural study conducted with a total of 1090 nurses from Türkiye, Albania, and Italy. Data were collected through the "Individual Information Form" and the "Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale". Nurses' mean score on the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale was above average. It was also found that country, marital status, religious belief, Islamic religion, training for spiritual care, and using spiritual practices to cope with difficulties or illnesses influenced nurses' perception of spirituality and spiritual care. It was concluded that nurses from the three countries associated spirituality and spiritual care with religion and that some personal characteristics influenced their perceptions of spiritual care. The results highlight the need for training in spiritual care to improve nurses' perceptions and practices of spiritual care.
本研究旨在探讨在三个具有不同文化的国家工作的护士对灵性与灵性照护的认知，以及影响其认知的因素。这是一项横断面多元文化研究，共对来自土耳其、阿尔巴尼亚和意大利的1090名护士进行了调查。数据通过“个人信息表”和“灵性与灵性照护评定量表”收集。护士在灵性与灵性照护评定量表上的平均得分高于平均分。研究还发现，国家、婚姻状况、宗教信仰、伊斯兰教、灵性照护培训以及运用灵性实践来应对困难或疾病，均会影响护士对灵性与灵性照护的认知。研究得出结论，这三个国家的护士将灵性与灵性照护与宗教联系起来，并且一些个人特征会影响他们对灵性照护的认知。研究结果凸显了开展灵性照护培训以提高护士对灵性照护的认知和实践的必要性。
