  • Background

    Although spirituality is among the important dimensions of human's existence and a lot of emphasis has been given to its role in promoting the level of health, the nursing care has been always focused on the physical dimension of the patients and little attention is being given to the spiritual needs.

    Objective

    the aim of this study is examining the attitude and performance of Spiritual Care among nurses working in Iran University of Medical sciences Hospitals.

    Design

    This was a cross-sectional study. Data gathering was done by using Nursing Spiritual Care Perspective Scale (NSCPS) questionnaires. One hundred and sixty six nurses participated in this study.

    Results

    The total mean of the nurses' attitude toward spiritual care (3.67±0.51) indicated the nurses' positive attitude toward spiritual care. The nurses' practices regarding spiritual interventions indicated that they tend to do half of the spiritual interventions.

    Conclusion

    Appropriate educational methods must be used for teaching spiritual merits and increasing the nurses’ competency in confronting with spiritual needs and offering spiritual care.
