“…A study in Turkey by Karaman et al ( 2022 ) showed there are even differences between the development levels and cultures within the regions of that country where the study was conducted at two universities in very different regions. Students in the Western region scored significantly higher on their spiritual caregiving than students in the Central Anatolia region.…”

“…In other regions of the country, the Anatolian culture that is heavily influenced by religious beliefs is more prevalent. Moreover, a special elective palliative care course was available in the Western university and not in the Anatolian one (Karaman et al, 2022 ). Further investigation is needed to better understand spiritual care in Turkey (Daghan, 2018 ) as well as other countries around the world, and to identify the elements responsible for differences in the scores of spiritual care competencies within nursing/midwifery among various cultures and ethnic groups.…”

“…The lack of confidence shown in Table 2 as an area to develop is also found as a barrier to the provision of spiritual care among undergraduate nurses in Nigeria (Folami & Onanuga, 2018 ). Nursing in Turkey has differences within their country based on the cultural influences in specific areas (Karaman et al, 2022 ). Nursing education in Indonesia does not address spirituality and spiritual care in the same way across all of their programmes (Sinaga et al, 2021 ), and they report that more effective strategies for spiritual care education are needed.…”

AimTo explore qualitative data from students' self‐reported competencies in spiritual care gathered during testing of a student self‐assessment tool based on the EPICC Spiritual Care Education Standard.DesignReflexive thematic analysis of qualitative data from a multinational study on validating a new self‐assessment tool.MethodsThe EPICC Spiritual Care Education Standard for competency in spiritual care was developed to enhance nurses' and midwives' ability to provide spiritual care by creating a baccalaureate education standard for spiritual care competencies. Spiritual care researchers then developed a self‐assessment tool to raise student awareness of spirituality and track personal and professional growth in spiritual care competency. The EPICC Spiritual Care Competency Self‐Assessment Tool, tested at eight universities in five countries, provided many opportunities for student comments, resulting in rich qualitative data presented here.ResultsThemes related to strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement. Identified strengths were similar across countries: caring attitudes, general knowledge of caring and compassion and good communication skills. Weaknesses/challenges touched on spirituality as overlooked in some cultures but part of life for others, complex questions were hard to understand, and self‐assessment tools are common for some and rare for others. Areas for improvement included need for knowledge of religious and other deeply held beliefs and for greater spiritual assessment skills. Similarities across countries related to basic training in communication and compassionate care for nurses globally. Differences lay in the challenges and/or barriers for spiritual care and may relate to cultures within countries and/or university test sites.Relevance to clinical practiceThe Tool raises awareness of spirituality among students and working nurses, providing an accessible way to self‐check personal and professional growth in spiritual care competencies, which increases student and nurse capacity to become more knowledgeable and skilled in facilitating spiritual care, thus be role models for students at the intersection of spirituality and health.

Objective This study aimed at assessing the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Spiritual Health Scale-Short Form (SHS-SF). Methods The methodological research was conducted with Turkish nursing students (n = 310). The sociodemographic question form and the SHS-SF were used as data collection instruments. The Content Validity Index, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) were used for the validity of the scale, and Internal Consistency and Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient for its reliability. Results The EFA revealed that five factors accounted for 66.49% of the variance. According to the CFA, the factor loadings for the 24-item scale ranged from 0.40 to 0.91. Goodness-of-fit indices were as follows: χ2/df = 2.39, RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.91, IFI = 0.92. The item-total correlation for the scale items ranged from 0.37 to 0.65. The alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.91. Significance of results It is important to identify the level of spiritual health of nurses and nursing students with a valid and reliable scale. The SHS-SF was found to be a reliable and valid scale for use in the Turkish language and culture. The scale can be used for evaluating spiritual health levels among Turkish nurses and nursing students. This will provide an opportunity for planning appropriate interventions to improve the spiritual health level of nurses and nursing students.
