Spiritual care is essential to nursing practice, contributing to holistic patient care. However, the relationship between nurses' perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care with their engagement in spiritual care practices remains underexplored, particularly in Indonesia. Understanding this relationship is crucial for enhancing the quality of care provided to patients.
This study aimed to examine the correlation between nurses' perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care with their spiritual care practices in Indonesia.
A cross-sectional survey design was employed, involving a total of 300 nurses working in healthcare facilities across Indonesia. Data were collected via an online survey conducted from March to May 2024, using validated questionnaires: the Indonesian adaptation of the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) and the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutic Scale (NSCTS). Spearman Rank Correlation was used to assess the relationship between nurses' perceptions of spirituality and their engagement in spiritual care practices.
The study found that nurses held a positive perception of spirituality, with a mean score of 3.85 (SD = 0.41) regarding statements related to spirituality and spiritual care. However, they reported providing spiritual care only occasionally, with an average frequency of 3-6 times over a 72 to 80-hour work period. There was a significant positive correlation ( = 0.235, <0.001) of nurses' perception of spirituality and spiritual care with their engagement in spiritual care practices.
The study highlights the need for targeted education and training to enhance nurses' competencies in spiritual care practices. Addressing spiritual needs is vital for holistic patient care, and improving nurses' perceptions and practices in this area can significantly benefit patient well-being.
精神关怀是护理实践的重要组成部分，有助于提供全面的患者护理。然而，护士对灵性和精神关怀的认知与他们参与精神关怀实践之间的关系仍未得到充分探索，尤其是在印度尼西亚。了解这种关系对于提高为患者提供的护理质量至关重要。
本研究旨在探讨印度尼西亚护士对灵性和精神关怀的认知与他们的精神关怀实践之间的相关性。
采用横断面调查设计，共纳入印度尼西亚各地医疗机构的300名护士。数据通过2024年3月至5月进行的在线调查收集，使用经过验证的问卷：印度尼西亚版的灵性与精神关怀评定量表（SSCRS）和护士精神关怀治疗量表（NSCTS）。采用Spearman等级相关分析来评估护士对灵性的认知与他们参与精神关怀实践之间的关系。
研究发现，护士对灵性持积极看法，与灵性和精神关怀相关陈述的平均得分为3.85（标准差=0.41）。然而，他们报告仅偶尔提供精神关怀，在72至80小时的工作期间平均频率为3至6次。护士对灵性和精神关怀的认知与他们参与精神关怀实践之间存在显著正相关（=0.235，<0.001）。
该研究强调需要进行有针对性的教育和培训，以提高护士在精神关怀实践方面的能力。满足精神需求对全面的患者护理至关重要，改善护士在这方面的认知和实践可以显著促进患者的福祉。
