Evaluation of Spiritual Care among Oncologists and Nurses at the Oncology Departments, Marrakech, Morocco.
Spiritual care is crucial in cancer care and plays an essential role in improving the quality of life of patients facing a cancer diagnosis. However, more data on healthcare professionals' perceptions and practices regarding spiritual care in the Moroccan context are needed. The present study aims to fill this gap by assessing the knowledge and practices of spiritual care among cancer nurses and physicians to provide valuable information to improve training and the integration of this dimension into oncology care. This study involved the participation of 131 professionals in the oncology departments at Marrakech University Hospital. The questionnaire used included a sociodemographic section and another dedicated to the Spiritual Care Intervention and Provision Scale (SCIPS), which aims to evaluate spiritual interventions in healthcare settings. The results revealed variations in the perception of spiritual care among professional groups. Nurses reported higher mean scores than oncologists did (47.56 ± 4.56 vs. 40.13 ± 3.98; p < 0.001). A significant association was established between clinical experience and SCIPS (p = 0.002). In addition, the overall score and subscale scores were significantly related to age and level of education (p < 0.001). The religious, spiritual care intervention-provision (RSCIPS) score was significantly higher in women than in men (p = 0.041). Linear regression analysis confirmed that young age, professional profile, and department were significantly correlated with SCIPS scores. In addition, gender showed a significant negative correlation (β = -0.188, p = 0.004), indicating that female participants tended to report higher scores than male participants did. The results show that nurses are more aware of their role in providing spiritual care to cancer patients than are oncologists. This care seems to focus mainly on existential aspects. A targeted training program could increase oncologists' awareness of their role in spiritual care and help nurses strengthen their commitment and fill any gaps.
