The Relationship Between Religious Attitudes and Spiritual Support Perceptions of Nurses Working in Surgical Clinics
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the religious attitudes of nurses working in surgical clinics and their spiritual support perceptions.
Method: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2022 and March 2023 with 304 nurses working in the surgical clinics of a training and research hospital and a public hospital. Data were collected using the nurse introductory characteristics form, religious attitude scale and spiritual support perception scale.
Results: The religious attitude scale score of the nurses working in the surgical units was determined as 20.52±12.70 and the spiritual support perception scale score was 39.64±14.52. It was determined that there was a positive, moderately significant relationship between religious attitude and perception of spiritual support. (p<.01), (r=.68).
Conclusion: Religious attitude and perception of moral support among nurses working in surgical clinics affect each other and is an important issue that should not be ignored. It is recommended that more scientific studies be conducted to increase awareness of these issues.
