Abstract
Background: Nurses experience a demanding work environment, and the state of their spiritual health and resilience can impact their ability to provide compassionate care. The objective of this study was to examine the connection between spiritual health, resilience, and compassionate care among nurses working in intensive care units.
Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study employed stratified sampling to select 340 nurses. The research utilized several instruments, including Demographic Information, Nurses' Compassionate Care, Iranian Muslim Adult Spiritual Health, and Connor and Davidson Resilience Questionnaires (significance level: 0.05). The data was analyzed by SPSS software version 24 using statistical tests including Chi-square, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient.
Results: The results indicated that the majority of participants were female, with an average age of 32.65 years. The mean score for spiritual health was 192.53 ± 23.67, and the resilience score was 71.52 ± 13.43. The average score for compassionate care was 119.82 ± 13.93. The study revealed a significant positive relationship between spiritual health, resilience, and compassionate care in nurses (P < 0.05). Consequently, enhancing spiritual health and resilience scores positively influenced the compassionate care, and vice versa.
Conclusion: To summarize a significant association exists between nurses' spiritual health, resilience, and their ability to provide compassionate care. It is recommended that educational programs are developed and implemented to enhance and maintain the spiritual health, compassionate care, and resilience of nurses, ultimately improving patient care.
背景:护士经历了一个苛刻的工作环境,他们的精神健康和弹性状态会影响他们提供富有同情心的护理的能力。本研究的目的是探讨精神健康,弹性和同情关怀之间的联系,护士在重症监护病房工作。材料与方法:采用分层抽样方法对340名护士进行描述性横断面研究。本研究采用了人口统计信息、护士体恤护理、伊朗穆斯林成人精神健康和Connor and Davidson弹性问卷(显著性水平:0.05)。采用SPSS软件第24版对数据进行统计检验,包括卡方检验、t检验和Pearson相关系数。结果:研究对象以女性居多,平均年龄32.65岁。心理健康得分均值为192.53±23.67分,心理弹性得分均值为71.52±13.43分。关爱的平均得分为119.82±13.93分。本研究发现护士的精神健康、心理弹性与同情关怀有显著的正相关关系(P < 0.05)。因此,提高精神健康和弹性得分对同情关怀有积极影响,反之亦然。结论:总结护士的精神健康、心理弹性和他们提供同情护理的能力之间存在显著的关联。建议制定和实施教育计划,以增强和保持护士的精神健康,富有同情心的护理和适应能力,最终改善病人护理。
