    Nursing Students' Perceptions of Spirituality and Spiritual Care and Their Spiritual Care Competencies: A Correlational Research Study
    (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2018) Kalkim A.; Sagkal Midilli T.; Daghan S.
    This research aimed to describe nursing students' perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care and their spiritual care competencies and to investigate the relationship between these variables. The sample of this descriptive and correlational study consisted of 325 nursing students. The questionnaires used in the study were the Student Nurse Information Form, the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale, and the Spiritual Care Competency Scale. The mean scores of the Turkish versions of Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale and Spiritual Care Competency Scale were 3.90 ± 0.45 and 3.69 ± 0.68. Importance to giving spiritual care to the patients in nursing care, willingness to receive training in spiritual care, and listening to patients to meet their spiritual requirements accounted for 17% of the spirituality and spiritual care perceptions of the students (F = 16.118, P =.001, R2 = 0.17). The participants' spirituality and spiritual care perception levels accounted for 14% of their spiritual care competences (F = 16.851, P =.001, R2 = 0.14). It was determined that the students' perceptions of spiritual care competence were not at the desired level and that they should be improved. Therefore, it is recommended that changes should be made in the curricula and that training programs should be improved in order to strengthen students' spiritual care competency. © 2018 by The Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association.

    Psychometric Evaluation of the Turkish Form of the Spiritual Care Competence Scale
    (Springer New York LLC, 2019) Daghan S.; Kalkim A.; Sağkal Midilli T.
    The methodological study was aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS-T). The research was conducted on final-year Turkish nursing students (n = 297) in the faculties of nursing and health science in two cities in the western part of Turkey. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that three factors accounted for 75.18% of the explained variance. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for the SCCS-T was.97. The three-factor model of the SCCS-T was found to be a reliable and valid scale for evaluating spiritual care competencies of Turkish nursing students and nurses. © 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
