Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between spiritual care (SC) practices and competence among critical care nurses (CCNs) in Türkiye using structural equation modeling (SEM). A total of 323 CCNs participated, and data were collected using the Nurse Information Form, Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale (NSCTS) and Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS). The mean NSCTS and SCCS total scores were 46.53 ± 9.57 and 77.31 ± 12.46 points, respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between SCCS and NSCTS scores (r = 0.712, p < 0.01). SEM analysis showed that all SCCS subdimensions significantly predicted SC practices, with professionalization and patient counseling (β = 0.393, p = 0.001) having the strongest effect, followed by attitude towards patient spirituality (β = 0.232, p = 0.026) and assessment and implementation (β = 0.171, p = 0.006). The model demonstrated good fit indices (χ²/df = 3.121; GFI = 0.925; CFI = 0.938; RMSEA = 0.069) and accounted for 54.5% of the variance in SC practices. These findings highlight the need for structured education, interdisciplinary collaboration, and institutional strategies to enhance SC integration in intensive care units.

基耶省重症护理护士的精神护理实践与能力：结构方程建模方法。

本研究旨在运用结构方程模型（SEM），探讨 rkiye医院重症护理护士（CCNs）的精神护理实践与能力之间的关系。采用护士信息表、护士精神护理治疗量表（NSCTS）和精神护理能力量表（SCCS）收集数据。NSCTS和SCCS总分的平均值分别为46.53±9.57分和77.31±12.46分。SCCS与NSCTS评分呈显著正相关(r = 0.712, p 2/df = 3.121；gfi = 0.925；cfi = 0.938；RMSEA = 0.069)，占SC实践方差的54.5%。这些发现强调需要结构化教育、跨学科合作和机构战略来加强重症监护病房的SC整合。
