Abstract
BackgroundAlthough nurses typically view spiritual care as important, it is provided infrequently. ObjectivesThis research investigated psychiatric mental health nurses' perceived barriers to providing spiritual care, and how these barriers were associated with frequency of spiritual care and demographic factors. MethodsThis cross-sectional correlational study of 159 psychiatric mental health nurses used questionnaires to measure frequency of spiritual care and barriers to spiritual care. ResultsThe most frequent barriers to providing spiritual care were lack of education and fear of exacerbating psychiatric symptoms. Psychiatric mental health nurses provided spiritual care infrequently. ConclusionsNurses need education about providing spiritual care to those with psychiatric mental health needs.
