Özet

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between nurses' perceptions and their competences in spiritual care and influencing factors. Design and Methods: This correlational study was conducted with 700 nurses. The Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) was used to determine nurses' spirituality perceptions. The Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) was used to evaluate the nurses' spiritual care competence. Findings: The study results show a significant relationship between the mean item scores of the SSCRS and the SCCS (r = 0.264, p < 0.01). Practice Implications: The nurses' perceptions were high, but their competency in spiritual care was at a medium level.
