Perceived barriers to providing Spiritual Care among psychiatric mental health nurses.
Archives of psychiatric nursing, 2020Co-Authors: Melissa Neathery, Elizabeth Johnston TaylorAbstract:Although nurses typically view Spiritual Care as important, it is provided infrequently. This 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. This cross-sectional correlational study of 159 psychiatric mental health nurses used questionnaires to measure frequency of Spiritual Care and barriers to Spiritual Care. The 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. Nurses need education about providing Spiritual Care to those with psychiatric mental health needs. Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Nurse Spiritual Care: Prevalence and Correlates.
Western journal of nursing research, 2018Co-Authors: Iris Mamier, Elizabeth Johnston Taylor, Betty WinslowAbstract:Many nurses embrace Spiritual Care as integral to holistic Care. Evidence documenting the frequency of Spiritual Care provided in acute Care settings, however, is sparse and weak. For this cross-sectional, correlational study, data were collected from N = 554 tertiary Care nurses using the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale (NSCTS) measuring their self-reported Spiritual Care with patients/family members over the last 72 to 80 hours at work. While the most frequently endorsed practices centered on presence, listening, and Spiritual assessment, the overall NSCTS score remained modest ( M = 37; SD = 12; possible range = 17-85). Several associations were found; 32.4% of the variance in frequency of Spiritual Care provision was explained by nurse perception that Spiritual issues come up often in the work setting, high nurse Spirituality score, not working in pediatrics, and having received education about Spiritual Care. Findings allow for benchmarking of nursing practices that have often been invisible.

Nurse Religiosity and Spiritual Care: An Online Survey.
Clinical nursing research, 2017Co-Authors: Elizabeth Johnston Taylor, Iris Mamier, Carla Gober-park, Kathy Schoonover-shoffner, Chintan K. Somaiya, Khaled BahjriAbstract:This study measured the frequency of nurse-provided Spiritual Care and how it is associated with various facets of nurse religiosity. Data were collected using an online survey accessed from the home page of the Journal of Christian Nursing. The survey included the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale, six scales quantifying facets of religiosity, and demographic and work-related items. Respondents ( N = 358) indicated high religiosity yet reported neutral responses to items about sharing personal beliefs and tentativeness of belief. Findings suggested Spiritual Care was infrequent. Multivariate analysis showed prayer frequency, employer support of Spiritual Care, and non-White ethnicity were significantly associated with Spiritual Care frequency (adjusted R2 = .10). Results not only provide an indication of Spiritual Care frequency but empirical encouragement for nurse managers to provide a supportive environment for Spiritual Care. Findings expose the reality that nurse religiosity is directly related, albeit weakly, to Spiritual Care frequency.

Nurse religiosity and Spiritual Care.
Journal of advanced nursing, 2014Co-Authors: Elizabeth Johnston Taylor, Carla Gober Park, Jane Bacon PfeifferAbstract:Aims To describe how the religiosity of Christian nurses motivates their practice and manifests during patient Care, especially Spiritual Care. Background Nurses around the world are often religious. This religiosity inherently affects nursing practice. Ethical codes, however, direct that nurses ought to never proselytize their religion while caring for patients. Little is known about how the religion of nurses affects their nursing practice. Design Cross-sectional phenomenological study. Methods Data were collected during semi-structured interviews in 2009–2011 with 14 Christian nurses in the USA. Data were coded and thematically analysed after transcription. Findings Informants described how they approached patients with religious conversation or Spiritual Care interventions that were overtly Christian in nature. With some awareness of the potential for harm in presenting their Christian beliefs and practices, these nurses also observed for patient cues before raising religious discourse and maintained caution so as to respect patient autonomy. Religiosity also was a personal resource for these nurses as they Cared for very ill patients. The following themes were described: religious determinants and influences, perceptions of divine promptings and protection, religious approaches to Spiritual Care, respecting patient Spirituality/religiosity and religious preparation for daily work. Conclusion Understanding these religious motivations and religious Spiritual Care practices of Christian nurses provides evidence that can stimulate debate for policy makers and scholars. It can also inform educators teaching Spiritual Care and administrators supervising religious nurses.

Attitudes Toward Spiritual Care and the Provision of Spiritual Care Interventions Among Jordanian Baccalaureate Nursing Students: Prevalence and Correlates.
Nursing education perspectives, 2020Co-Authors: Ahmad S. MusaAbstract:AIM 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. BACKGROUND Provision of Spiritual Care is a part of good quality nursing and is an important dimension in patients' health and well-being. METHODA A cross-sectional descriptive and correlational design was employed. A convenience sample of 267 Jordanian baccalaureate nursing students completed a structured, self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS 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. CONCLUSIONS Jordanian baccalaureate nursing students provide religious Spiritual Care interventions only infrequently. Implications for nursing education, clinical field experience, and nursing program curricula are explored.

Development of the Arabic Spiritual Care Intervention‐Provision Scale
Journal of clinical nursing, 2016Co-Authors: Ahmad S. Musa, David J. PevalinAbstract:Aims and objectives This study develops a new instrument, the Spiritual Care Intervention-Provision Scale, and assesses its psychometric properties in an Arab Muslim nurse sample. The Spiritual Care Intervention-Provision Scale was developed to measure the frequency with which nurses provided aspects of Spiritual Care. Background Most of the available Spiritual Care instruments were developed in the West and reflect a predominantly Christian tradition. A review of the literature on Spiritual Care in nursing revealed that no instrument exists for measuring Spiritual Care interventions provided by nurses to Arab Muslim patients. Design A cross-sectional descriptive and correlational design. Methods Following an extensive literature search, review by an expert panel and a pilot study which included patients' views regarding aspects of Spiritual Care provided by nurses, the final version of the Spiritual Care Intervention-Provision Scale was tested in a convenience sample of 360 Jordanian Arab Muslim nurses. Correlational and factor analysis were used. Results The internal consistency of the Spiritual Care Intervention-Provision Scale was high, with α coefficient of 0·85. The exploratory factor analysis supported a two-factor structure for the Spiritual Care Intervention-Provision Scale as hypothesised. A significant positive correlation between the Spiritual Care Intervention-Provision Scale and religiosity was in the expected direction though small in magnitude. Conclusions This study initiates the development of an instrument for the provision of Spiritual Care intervention by nurses that balances the religious and existential dimensions of Spirituality. The Spiritual Care Intervention-Provision Scale exhibited acceptable evidence of internal consistency and validity among Jordanian Arab Muslim nurses. Further work was suggested to firmly establish all aspects of this new scale. Relevance to clinical practice This culturally specific instrument contributes to the evaluation of the provision of Spiritual Care by Jordanian Muslim nurses to their patients, to guide them in providing a comprehensive and appropriate Spiritual Care interventions and to examine the effect of Spiritual Care on various aspects of patient's quality of life.

Spiritual Care NEEDS AND Spiritual Care RECEIVED
BMJ Supportive & Palliative Care, 2013Co-Authors: Anong Phibal, Urai HatthakitAbstract:The purpose of this descriptive study was to compare the level of the Spiritual Care needs and Spiritual Care received among Muslim patients at the end of life during hospitalisation. The subjects were recruited using purposive sampling from the end of life Muslim patients during hospitalisation in five main government hospitals, namely Yala Hospital, Pattani Hospital, Narativas Hospital, Betong Hospital, and Su-Ngaikolok Hospital, and/or family Caregivers who used to provide Care to their dying family members while hospitalised in these hospitals. The data were collected from 174 subjects from November 2008 to January 2009. The research instruments were questionnaires developed by the researcher. Cronbach9s α of reliability coefficients of the Spiritual Care needs among Muslim patients at the end of life during hospitalisation and received Spiritual Care among Muslim patients at the end of life during hospitalised in the hospitals questionnaires were 0.86 and 0.94, respectively. Data were analysed using percentage, mean, SD and paired t test. The results were as follows: The mean total score of the Spiritual Care needs of Muslim patients at the end of life during hospitalisation was at a high level. The highest mean score was that of the needs for hope, followed the score of needs for meaningful and purposive life aspects and the needs for relationships with another and/or a supreme being. There was a statistically significant difference between the Spiritual Care needs and Spiritual Care received among Muslim patients at the end of life during hospitalisation (p

Effectiveness of Spiritual Care training to enhance Spiritual health and Spiritual Care competency among oncology nurses.
BMC palliative care, 2019Co-Authors: Miaorui JiaoAbstract:Although Spiritual Care is a basic element of holistic nursing, nurses’ Spiritual Care knowledge and abilities are often unable to satisfy patients’ Spiritual Care needs. Therefore, nurses are in urgent need of relevant training to enhance their abilities to provide patients with Spiritual Care. A nonrandomized controlled trial. To establish a Spiritual Care training protocol and verify its effectiveness. This study recruited 92 nurses at a cancer treatment hospital in a single province via voluntary sign-up. The nurses were divided into two groups—the study group (45 people) and the control (wait-listed) group (47 people)—using a coin-toss method. The study group received one Spiritual Care group training session every six months based on their routine nursing education; this training chiefly consisted of lectures by experts, group interventions, clinical practice, and case sharing. The control group participated in monthly nursing education sessions organized by the hospital for 12 continuous months. After 12 months of intervention, the nurses in the study group had significantly higher overall Spiritual health and Spiritual Care competency scores as well as significantly higher scores on all individual dimensions compared with those in the control group (P

Spiritual Care practices of oncology nurses.
Oncology nursing forum, 1995Co-Authors: Elizabeth Johnston Taylor, Madalon Amenta, Martha E. F. HighfieldAbstract:PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To determine what Spiritual Care practices oncology nurses use. DESIGN Descriptive, cross-sectional survey. SETTING Variety of oncology clinical settings from all regions of the United States. SAMPLE Stratified, random sampling of Oncology Nursing Society members who identified themselves as clinicians; 181 out of 700 completed the questionnaires; respondents typically were Christian, caucasian, female, adult inpatient oncology staff nurses. METHODS Oncology Nurse Spiritual Care Perspectives Survey and a demographic form were delivered and returned through mailing; questionnaires required up to two hours for completion; respondents were given one month to complete the questionnaires. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES Spiritual Care practices/interventions (types and frequency) and indicators of Spiritual need. FINDINGS Frequent practices included praying with patients, referring them to chaplains or clergy, providing them with religious materials, serving as a therapeutic presence, and listening and talking to them. Frequency of traditional Spiritual Care practices differed by variables such as self-reported Spirituality, religious service attendance, ethnicity, and education. Identified indicators of Spiritual need included anxiety, depression, patient requests, death issues, hopelessness, and withdrawal. CONCLUSIONS Oncology nurses provide Spiritual Care in a variety of ways that often are personal and private, yet they do so infrequently and with some discomfort. Research examining relationships between Spiritual Care practices and demographic variables is needed. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Spiritual Care education and resources for clinicians are needed. Data provide examples of interventions for and indicators of Spiritual need.
