Abstract

The aim of this study was to identify aspects and frequencies of spiritual care intervention provided by baccalaureate nursing students and to explore factors associated with the frequency of spiritual care interventions. Provision of spiritual care is a part of good quality nursing and is an important dimension in patients' health and well-being. A cross-sectional descriptive and correlational design was employed. A convenience sample of 267 Jordanian baccalaureate nursing students completed a structured, self-administered questionnaire. Participants had a low mean level of provision frequency for religious spiritual care interventions. Nursing students with a greater spiritual perspective, positive attitudes toward spiritual care, and adequate education and training in spiritual care were more likely to provide interventions more frequently. Jordanian baccalaureate nursing students provide religious spiritual care interventions only infrequently. Implications for nursing education, clinical field experience, and nursing program curricula are explored.
