Spiritual care is an important part of holistic care and is at the center of nursing/midwifery care. Nurses/midwives are expected to graduate by receiving adequate training in spiritual care and gaining spiritual care competence during their student days. It is important to evaluate the spiritual care competencies of nursing/midwifery students and to correct the deficiencies, if any. Therefore, a self-assessment tool is needed to increase awareness and knowledge and improve skills and attitudes in the field of spirituality and pastoral care. One of these tools is EPICC (Enhancing Nurses' and Midwives' Competence in Providing Spiritual Care through Innovative Education and Compassionate Care). This EPICC Spiritual Care Education Standard describes the spiritual care competencies expected from undergraduate nursing and midwifery students. For every competence, the learning outcomes are described in aspects of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. This research was conducted with a methodological design to ensure that the Turkish version of the EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool can be used as a reliable and valid measurement tool in nursing research in Turkey. Methodological and cross-sectional research design was used in the research method. The research was carried out with 300 nursing and midwifery students in Turkey. Data were collected using the personal information form and the EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool. The results of exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the four-factor structure of the scale. Cronbach's α, item-total correlation, test-retest analysis, and equivalent form analysis showed high reliability. EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool For Student Nurses And Midwives: Turkish Validity And Reliability Study consists of 24 items on a five-point Likert-type scale. The Turkish version of the EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self-Assessment Tool is a valid and reliable tool for assessing the Spiritual Care Competencies of nursing and midwifery students. Evaluating the Spiritual Care Competencies of nursing and midwifery students is an important issue, it is now possible in Turkey with this scale given its validity and reliability.
精神护理是整体护理的重要组成部分，也是护理/助产护理的核心。护士/助产士应在学生时代接受足够的精神护理培训并获得精神护理能力，从而顺利毕业。评估护理/助产专业学生的精神护理能力并纠正其中存在的不足（如有）十分重要。因此，需要一种自我评估工具来提高对精神和宗教关怀领域的认识与知识水平，并改善技能和态度。其中一种工具就是EPICC（通过创新教育和人文关怀提高护士和助产士提供精神护理的能力）。这份EPICC精神护理教育标准描述了本科护理和助产专业学生应具备的精神护理能力。对于每一项能力，都从知识、技能和态度方面描述了学习成果。本研究采用了一种方法设计，以确保EPICC精神护理能力自我评估工具的土耳其语版本能够在土耳其的护理研究中作为一种可靠且有效的测量工具使用。研究方法采用了方法学和横断面研究设计。该研究在土耳其的300名护理和助产专业学生中进行。使用个人信息表和EPICC精神护理能力自我评估工具收集数据。探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析的结果证实了该量表的四因素结构。克朗巴赫α系数、项目与总分相关性、重测分析和等效形式分析均显示出高可靠性。《EPICC精神护理能力自我评估工具：针对护理和助产专业学生的土耳其语效度与信度研究》由24个五点李克特量表项目组成。EPICC精神护理能力自我评估工具的土耳其语版本是评估护理和助产专业学生精神护理能力的有效且可靠的工具。评估护理和助产专业学生的精神护理能力是一个重要问题，鉴于其效度和信度，现在在土耳其借助该量表进行评估成为可能。
