It is an effective method to increase the spiritual well-being of nursing students, improve their perception of spiritual care, teach the spiritual aspects of nursing and develop their knowledge, skills and attitudes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the spiritual care perceptions and spiritual well-being of undergraduate nursing students in Türkiye and to evaluate whether the use of reflective teaching method in spiritual care increases spiritual care perception and spiritual well-being.

Methods

This study was a randomized controlled trial conducted with 63 nursing students. They were assigned to an intervention group (n = 31) and a control group (n = 32). The intervention group received training in spiritual care and a reflection application, while the control group received no intervention. Data were collected as a result of pre-test, intervention and post-test. Personal Information Form, Spiritual Well-Being Scale, Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale and Form for Evaluating Students' Perceptions of Reflection Method were used to collect the data. Data were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistical methods.

Results

In the intervention group, the total score of the Spiritual Well-being Scale increased after the training, and the increase in the total score of the Spiritual Care Rating Scale after the training was statistically significant (p < 0.05). In addition, the Spiritual Care Rating Scale's posttest was found to be statistically significant between groups (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

Training nursing students in spiritual care using the reflection method has an impact on their spiritual well-being and perception of spiritual care. The reflection method is an effective method for spiritual care education.
