Abstract

Student nurses' sensitivity and personal perceptions about spirituality and spiritual care are important in providing spiritual care because student nurses need to explore their spirituality and their relationship to care. The study was carried out with a sequential explanatory mixed method design. Quantitative data for the research was collected using the descriptive characteristics form and the spirituality and spiritual care rating scale. As a result of the data obtained from the focus group interviews, the authors identified five contexts, fifteen themes and many sub-themes. As a result of this study, it was determined that the student's perceptions of spirituality and spiritual care were above average, and they saw spiritual care as a dimension of holistic care. However, they did not feel competent in providing spiritual care in clinical practice.
