This study aims to explore the spiritual care levels, death-related perceptions, and experiences of intensive care nurses in providing spiritual care to patients in end-of-life care. Quantitative data were collected from 111 intensive care nurses using a Sociodemographic Information Form, the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS), and the Good Death Scale (GDS). Qualitative data were gathered through face-to-face interviews with 10 intensive care nurses using open-ended, semi-structured questions. The qualitative data were analyzed using the content analysis methods. The results revealed that the mean SSCRS score of the participants was above moderate (3.70 ± 0.38), while their mean GDS score was high (52.00 ± 8.00). It was also found that religious beliefs and GDS scores significantly predicted the SSCRS scores of the participants (p < 0.001). As a result of the examination of the data, three main themes and 16 sub-themes were obtained. The main themes were named "Spiritual Care Practices," "Effects of Spiritual Care on Patients," and "Difficulties and Facilitators." These results are crucial for enhancing the quality of spiritual care provided to patients approaching their end of life by intensive care nurses.
本研究旨在探讨重症监护护士在临终关怀中为患者提供精神关怀的精神关怀水平、与死亡相关的认知及经历。通过社会人口学信息表、精神性与精神关怀评定量表（SSCRS）以及善终量表（GDS），收集了111名重症监护护士的定量数据。通过对10名重症监护护士进行面对面访谈，使用开放式、半结构化问题收集定性数据。采用内容分析法对定性数据进行分析。结果显示，参与者的SSCRS平均得分高于中等水平（3.70±0.38），而他们的GDS平均得分较高（52.00±8.00）。还发现宗教信仰和GDS得分显著预测了参与者的SSCRS得分（p＜0.001）。通过对数据的分析，得出了三个主要主题和16个子主题。主要主题分别命名为“精神关怀实践”、“精神关怀对患者的影响”以及“困难与促进因素”。这些结果对于提高重症监护护士为临终患者提供的精神关怀质量至关重要。
