“…In this study, the total score of spiritual care perceptions was 173.83 ± 25.62, which was quite moderate and similar to the results of Hu et al (2019) and Pipkins et al (2020), and it also needs to be further improved. Besides, the total score of spiritual well-being was 98.74 ± 12.87, which was also quite moderate and consistent with the results of Hsiao et al (2013).…”

Objective To investigate spiritual care perceptions, spiritual well-being, and empathy, examine the correlations among spiritual care perceptions, spiritual well-being, and empathy, and explore the mediating role of spiritual well-being between other two variables of Chinese nursing students. Methods A cross-sectional design was implemented, and the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Checklist was used to ensure quality reporting of the study. A cluster sample of 2,718 nursing students was selected from 7 universities and colleges in China. The demographic characteristics questionnaire, the Chinese Version of the Spiritual Care-Giving Scale (C-SCGS), the Spiritual Health Scale Short Form (SHS-SF), and the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy-Nursing Student (JSPE-NS) were used. Descriptive statistics, correlation, and process plug-in mediation effect analyses were used to analyze the data. Results The total score of spiritual care perceptions, spiritual well-being, and empathy were 173.83 ± 25.62, 98.74 ± 12.87, and 105.04 ± 21.34, respectively. Spiritual care perceptions were positively correlated with spiritual well-being (r = 0.617, p < 0.01) and empathy (r = 0.528, p < 0.01). And spiritual well-being played a partial mediating role between the other two variables (accounting for 28.1%). Significance of results Spiritual care perceptions, spiritual well-being, and empathy were quite moderate, which need in improving. It is suggested that nursing educators pay attention to the spiritual care education of nursing students, perfect the spiritual care education system, and take targeted measures according to nursing students’ individual personality traits and differences, improve their spiritual well-being and empathy in multiple ways, so as to improve their spiritual care perceptions and competence.

“…Different results were reported in the literature. In addition to studies (Aslan & Ünsal, 2021; Ovayolu et al, 2021; Pipkins et al, 2020) stating that SSCRS score was higher in fourth grades, Abbasi et al (2014) found no difference between first and fourth grades in their study. It is thought that this difference in studies is due to regional differences.…”

Background Caring is a core value in nursing education and many of its features can be measured as specific behaviors. It is not clear how nurses' spirituality affects their caring behavior. Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between spirituality and spiritual care and nursing students' perceptions of care. Design and Methods This was a descriptive cross‐sectional study. The study sample consisted of 467 students in the nursing department of a university in Northeastern Anatolia. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Care Assessment Report Evaluation Q‐sort (CARE‐Q), and the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS). Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, mean, t‐test, analysis of variance, and Kruskal–Wallis H, Mann–Whitney U, correlation, and regression tests. Results The mean age of the participants was 21.14 ± 1.97 years, 55.0% were women, and 63.0% said that nursing was their preferred profession. Most of the students rated their knowledge of spirituality and spiritual care as adequate (17.6%) or partially adequate (48.0%). CARE‐Q and SSCRS scores were significantly higher among female students who chose a career in nursing to help people, want to obtain their master's degree, and agreed that providing care is nurses' primary duty (p < 0.05). There was a weak positive correlation between CARE‐Q and SSCRS scores (p < 0.001; r = 0.369). Conclusion There was a significant relationship between CARE‐Q and SSCRS scores (p < 0.05). Practice Implications To promote holistic care, nursing students should be provided training on spirituality and spiritual care, with emphasis on the role of nurses in care.

“…Similarly, Galloway and Hand's (2017) study identified nursing students’ knowledge in spiritual care competencies and self-awareness increased after participating in a spirituality course. Pipkins et al (2020) integrated spirituality content throughout the nursing program and noted final semester students’ perceptions of their spiritual care knowledge increased.…”

“…Nursing research suggests it is essential to teach undergraduate nursing students the importance of spirituality and spiritual care (Azarsa et al, 2015; Pipkins et al, 2020). However, little is known if students’ reported personal spirituality and perceived ability to provide spiritual care contributes positively or negatively in their actual provision of spiritual care.…”

Study purpose: This study's purpose was to explore nursing students’ spirituality and perceived ability to provide spiritual care. Design and methods: A convergent mixed method, cross-sectional design was used. A convenience sample included traditional nursing students in their second quarter ( n = 53) and final quarter ( n = 43) attending a faith-based university and accelerated final quarter nursing students ( n = 45) attending a private secular university from two accredited nursing programs. Quantitative data were analyzed using a pairwise Spearman rank correlation and multivariate analysis of variance. Open-ended questions were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Quantitatively, as a student's spirituality increases, their perceived ability to provide spiritual care decreases. Qualitative findings revealed three categories: guidance to recognize spiritual needs, empathy and openness, and intertwined with religion. Conclusion: Quantitatively, nursing students reported their spirituality did not influence their perceived ability to provide spiritual care. Yet, qualitatively, students reported their spirituality assisted in their ability to provide spiritual care. However, students were unable to differentiate between spirituality and religion. Colleges of nursing need to ensure students learn the art of holistic nursing, which includes spirituality and religion along with opportunities to apply and reflect on their spirituality and perceived ability to provide spiritual care.
