“…Te SCC of intern nursing students in this study was higher than the pre-COVID-19 SCC of Chinese trainee nursing students [49] and Iranian nursing interns [50] and lower than that among Iranian nursing students during the same COVID-19 pandemic period [51]. Possible reasons for this include the following: (1) Te threat faced and the particular life-saving process involved during the pandemic facilitated the relationship between nursing staf and patients, patients had greater spiritual care needs, and nursing staf perceived patients' spiritual needs more easily [21]. Past literature [49] used a censored version of the Chinese version of the scale, and diferent authors have diferent interpretations and expressions of the Chinese version of the SCC scale.…”

“…Moreover, successfully implementing spiritual care with patients can help nurses feel that they do not have an ordinary job but rather a spiritual calling and even a "divine blessing," which will allow nurses to gain job satisfaction and maintain a positive attitude toward their work [20]. A previous study [21] also showed that nurses' spiritual care competence (SCC) had a positive correlation with perceived professional beneft; when SCC was stronger, nurses had more positive feelings and reported more satisfactory experiences. Nurses are the primary providers of spiritual care [22].…”

Aims. We aimed to investigate nursing students’ spiritual care competence, perceived professional benefit, and retention intention and to analyze the relationship among these variables. Background. Nurse shortages are a global issue, and intern nursing students’ willingness to remain in the nursing profession is important. Spiritual care can reduce patients’ depression and improve their quality of life. Implementing spiritual care can help individuals have satisfying experiences. Perceived professional benefit is a positive emotional experience that is important in retention intention. However, the relationship among spiritual care competence, perceived professional benefit, and retention intention remains unclear. Methods. In this cross-sectional and correlational study, convenience sampling was used to recruit 266 intern nursing students in 10 hospitals throughout China. An online questionnaire was used to assess their sociodemographic characteristics, spiritual care competence, perceived professional benefit, and retention intention. Statistical analyses included the t-test, analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlation analysis, and bootstrap analysis. Results. Intern nursing students’ mean scores were 103.35 ± 19.00 for spiritual care competence, 72.88 ± 10.40 for perceived professional benefit, and 19.58 ± 3.37 for retention intention. Spiritual care competence was positively correlated with perceived professional benefit (r = 0.545; p<0.01) and retention intention (r = 0.149; p<0.05). Perceived professional benefit was also positively correlated with retention intention (r = 0.320; p<0.01). Bootstrap analysis showed that perceived professional benefit completely mediates the relationship between spiritual care competence and retention intention. Conclusions. We found that nursing interns had a moderate level of retention intention, and perceived professional benefit was the mediating variable between spiritual care competence and retention intention. Implications. Our study results suggest that nursing administrators and educators should improve nursing interns’ spiritual care competence and perceived professional benefit to enhance their willingness to remain in the nursing profession and alleviate nurse shortages.

“…The healthcare system in Yemen has been severely affected by ongoing con ict, which has led to a decline in healthcare delivery and access to services (Dureab et al, 2020;Qirbi & Ismail, 2017). In addition to the many challenges that health care providers face in providing quality care (Dureab et al, 2020), understanding and improving health service quality is therefore crucial to ensuring that the limited resources available are used effectively and e ciently (Li et al, 2022). Given the limited research on nurses' perceptions of the quality of health services in Yemen, this study aims to ll this gap by using the SERVPERF scale to assess the quality of health services in the country.…”

This study aimed to assess service quality in the healthcare sector by employing the SERVPERF scale, with a particular focus on nursing staff perceptions. The significance of nursing staff perceptions in evaluating healthcare service quality is emphasized, as they are primarily responsible for patient care. Utilizing the SERVPERF scale, the research investigates the perceived quality of health services in hospitals and examines the predictors of service quality based on the scale's dimensions and items. The five dimensions under consideration include tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, empathy, and safety. Data were collected from a sample of 214 nurses who completed the research survey to determine their perception of service quality. The questionnaire demonstrated high reliability, with an overall Cronbach alpha value of 0.72. The study was conducted in private hospitals situated in Yemen's largest city. The findings reveal that the dimensions of healthcare service quality were rated highly, with the safety dimension scoring the highest and the reliability dimension scoring the lowest. These results have significant implications for measuring healthcare service quality. Although the study is limited to a sample from nursing departments in five hospitals, the findings offer valuable insights for healthcare sector leaders to assess service quality in hospitals.

Purpose. This study aimed to investigate nurses’ perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care and perceived professional benefits in China and reveal the relationship between them. Design and Methods. In this study, 372 nurses (response rate: 93.47%) from a number of hospitals across China were surveyed using convenience sampling. The data were collected through online questionnaires, including a sociodemographic characteristics form, the Chinese version of the Spiritual Care-Giving Scale (C-SCGS), and the Nurses’ Perceived Professional Benefits Questionnaire (NPPBQ). Findings. The total score of the NPPBQ was 136.88 ± 20.13. A statistically significant relationship was found between the total score and subscale score of the C-SCGS and the total score and subscale score of the NPPBQ (R = 0.217–0.475, P < 0.01). Practice Implications. Nursing managers and educators should pay attention to improving nurses’ perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care in order to help nurses gain more perceived professional benefits.
