Abstract
Exhaustion/burnout, which is often caused by job-related stress among nurses, may have a negative impact on the frequency of spiritual care. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between job-related emotional exhaustion and the frequency of spiritual care among nurses. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 351 nurses. A negative, moderate to significant relationship was found between the scales used in the study. Our study found that nurses experienced high levels of work-related emotional burnout. It was also found that nurses rarely included spiritual care practices in the care process. We therefore suggest investigating the factors influencing exhaustion and spiritual care in nurses.
