Determining the relationship between spirituality and perceptions of care in nursing students: A cross-sectional study.

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. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between spirituality and spiritual care and nursing students' perceptions of care. 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. 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). There was a significant relationship between CARE-Q and SSCRS scores (p < 0.05). To promote holistic care, nursing students should be provided training on spirituality and spiritual care, with emphasis on the role of nurses in care.

The integral role of nurses in primary care for transgender people: A qualitative descriptive study.

To understand nursing activities, training and key supports needed to provide primary care to transgender individuals. Discrimination, limited practitioner knowledge and a deficiency of services contribute to health care barriers for transgender individuals. Literature demonstrating how primary care services are delivered, and more specially the role of nurses in this care, is lacking. Qualitative description methodology and interviews were used to describe this phenomenon. Participants included nurse practitioners, registered nurses and registered practical nurses. Nurses are important in providing primary care to transgender individuals. While NPs worked to full scope of practice, RNs' and RPNs' roles could be optimized. A key challenge was lack of education; however, mentorship and collaboration contributed to competency development. Ensuring the workplace provided gender-affirming care was key to a safe and inclusive environment. Supporting nurses to develop capacity and work to full scope of practice can improve access to care. Ongoing opportunities for mentorship and ensuring an inclusive workplace will aid in the provision of care for this vulnerable population. Development of organisational policies, staff training and appropriate supports, for role optimization and team collaboration, can eliminate barriers experienced by transgender individuals.

Comparing the Effect of Contact-based Education with Acceptance and Commitment Training on Destigmatization Toward Psychiatric Disorders in Nursing Students

Background: Despite the importance of stigma in psychiatric disorders and due to the important role of nurses in caring and supporting such illnesses, it is not considered in nursing educations. Objectives: The current study aimed at comparing the effect of Contact-based education and acceptance and commitment-based training on stigma toward psychiatric disorders among nursing students. Methods: It was a clinical study and 111 nursing students of the 4th semester passing mental health training course 1 in Ibne-Sina Psychiatric hospital of Mashhad, Iran, were selected by cluster and quota sampling methods. They were divided into 3 groups of contact-based education (interpersonal contact among individuals with improved mental illnesses), acceptance and commitment-based training and control group. In order to obtain data, The opening mind scales for Health Care Providers was used; and it was completed in 3 levels of pretest, posttest and 1-month follow-up sessions. Data analysis was carried out by repeated measurements of ANOVA. Results: There was no significant difference between the contact-based education and acceptance and commitment-based training groups in reducing the average score of stigma and subscales of social distance and diagnostic overshadowing (P > 0.05). On the other hand, in terms of mean changes, there was no significant difference among the 3 groups in the score of disclosure subscale (P = 0.09). However, contact-based education group demonstrated significant reduction in the mean of recovery and social responsibility subscales, compared to acceptance and commitment-based training group (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Although both contact-based education and acceptance and commitment training methods were effective, the results of subscales were different.
