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 to emphasize, inform and increase the awareness of the concepts of \"spirituality\" and \"individualized care\" in the education curriculum of nursing students.","PeriodicalId":239741,"journal":{"name":"Turkish Journal of Science and Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133794717","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
