The purpose of the study was to explore how nurses' religious beliefs affect their ability to forgive themselves and others. A descriptive correlational study was conducted. The data were collected using an online survey via Qualtrics using three validated tools Enright Forgiveness Inventory - 30 (to measure forgiveness of others), Enright Self-Forgiveness Inventory (to measure forgiveness of self), and Duke University Religious Index (to measure religiosity). Forgiveness of others was associated with both non-organized religious activities and intrinsic religiosity. After controlling for other variables, non-organized religious activities continued to predict forgiveness of others but organized religious activities negatively predicted forgiveness of others. Self-forgiveness was not associated with any of the religiosity indicators, and in the regression model, the seriousness of self-offense alone uniquely explained self-forgiveness. Stressed nurses become distracted, may miss effective job performance, and patient care may suffer. Emotional and spiritual health and better patient outcomes can be attributed to the nurse forgiving others and the self. Nurses must be self-aware to develop forgiveness strategies for their well-being and provide effective care. Faculty should teach "person-centered" care and educate students to forgive others and themselves for effective patient care.
该研究的目的是探讨护士的宗教信仰如何影响他们原谅自己和他人的能力。进行了一项描述性相关性研究。数据通过Qualtrics在线调查收集，使用了三种经过验证的工具：恩赖特宽恕量表 - 30（用于测量对他人的宽恕）、恩赖特自我宽恕量表（用于测量自我宽恕）和杜克大学宗教指数（用于测量宗教虔诚度）。对他人的宽恕与非组织化宗教活动和内在宗教虔诚度均相关。在控制其他变量后，非组织化宗教活动继续预测对他人的宽恕，但组织化宗教活动对他人的宽恕有负向预测作用。自我宽恕与任何宗教虔诚度指标均无关，在回归模型中，仅自我冒犯的严重程度能唯一解释自我宽恕。压力大的护士会分心，可能错过有效的工作表现，患者护理也可能受到影响。护士原谅他人和自己有助于其情绪和精神健康以及取得更好的患者治疗效果。护士必须有自我意识，为自身幸福制定宽恕策略并提供有效的护理。教师应教授“以患者为中心”的护理，并教育学生原谅他人和自己以实现有效的患者护理。
