dc.description.abstractObjectives This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nurses' spiritual well-being and their competence in providing spiritual care, and to identify influencing factors among Turkish nurses.Methods A descriptive and correlative design was employed, involving 520 nurses from two hospitals in eastern Turkey. Data were collected online using Google Forms, which included a demographic questionnaire, the three-factor Spiritual Well-being Scale and the Spiritual Care Competence Scale. The study was conducted between August 2019 and June 2020.Results A significant positive correlation was found between nurses' spiritual well-being and their spiritual nursing competence (r=0.320, p=0.019). Factors, such as work duration, marital status, patient load, experience, education and information, influenced these attributes. Ageing has also been found to reduce well-being and competence.Conclusions Nurses' spiritual well-being and competence in providing spiritual care were moderately positively and significantly correlated. Education, experience and engagement in religious activities enhanced these attributes. Future research should explore additional influencing factors and incorporate spirituality into nursing education to improve the quality of holistic care.
