Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nursing students’ spiritual values on their individualized care perceptions.
Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional research was completed with 555 nursing students between February 27 and March 13, 2020. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form the Spirituality Scale (SS) and the Individualized Care Scale (ICS) (A-Nurse) which were created in line with the literature. Descriptive statistics, Independent Samples T-Test, One-Way ANOVA and Pearson Correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data.
Results: It was found that the mean of score obtained by students from the SS was 23.49±5.07 and the mean ICS (A-Nurse) score was 3.99±0.74. It was discerned that there were statistically significant differences in means of scores obtained by nursing students from the SS and ICS (A-Nurse) on the basis of the variables of gender, place of residence and spirituality level (p<0.05). Besides, it was identified that there were weak statistically significant positive associations between the mean of scores obtained from the overall SS and means of scores obtained from ICS (A-Nurse) and its sub-scales (p<0.01).
Conclusion: As nursing students have higher spiritual values, their individualized care perceptions are also enhanced. It is recommended that ‘spirituality’ and ‘individualized care’ concepts should be emphasized in the curricula of nursing students, nursing students should be informed about these concepts and the awareness of nursing students about these concepts should be raised.

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin manevi değerlerinin bireyselleştirilmiş bakım algılarına etkisini belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel nitelikteki bu araştırma, 27 Şubat-13 Mart 2020 tarihleri arasında 555 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile tamamlanmıştır. Veriler, literatür doğrultusunda oluşturulan Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Maneviyat Ölçeği (MÖ) ve Bireyselleştirilmiş Bakım Skalası- A Hemşire Versiyonu (BBS-A) ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Student t testi, One-Way ANOVA ve Pearson Korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır.
Bulgular: Öğrencilerin MÖ puan ortalamasının 23.49±5.07, BBS-A puan ortalamasının ise 3.99±0.74 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin cinsiyet, kaldığı yer ve maneviyat düzeyi değişkenleriyle MÖ ve BBS-A skalasından aldıkları puan ortalamaları arasındaki fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Öğrencilerin MÖ ile BBS-A skalası toplam puan ortalaması ve alt boyutları arasında ise pozitif yönde zayıf bir ilişki saptanmıştır (p<0,01).
Sonuç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin manevi değerleri arttıkça bireyselleştirilmiş bakım algıları da artmaktadır. Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eğitim müfredatlarında ‘maneviyat’ ve ‘bireyselleştirilmiş bakım’ kavramlarının vurgulanması, bilgilendirilmesi ve farkındalıklarının arttırılması önerilmektedir.
