Effectiveness of spiritual care training to enhance spiritual health and spiritual care competency among oncology nurses
Background
Although spiritual care is a basic element of holistic nursing, nurses’ spiritual care knowledge and abilities are often unable to satisfy patients’ spiritual care needs. Therefore, nurses are in urgent need of relevant training to enhance their abilities to provide patients with spiritual care.
Design
A nonrandomized controlled trial.
Objective
To establish a spiritual care training protocol and verify its effectiveness.
Methods
This study recruited 92 nurses at a cancer treatment hospital in a single province via voluntary sign-up. The nurses were divided into two groups—the study group (45 people) and the control (wait-listed) group (47 people)—using a coin-toss method. The study group received one spiritual care group training session every six months based on their routine nursing education; this training chiefly consisted of lectures by experts, group interventions, clinical practice, and case sharing. The control group participated in monthly nursing education sessions organized by the hospital for 12 continuous months.
Results
After 12 months of intervention, the nurses in the study group had significantly higher overall spiritual health and spiritual care competency scores as well as significantly higher scores on all individual dimensions compared with those in the control group (
P
< 0.01).
Conclusions
A spiritual care training protocol for nurses based on the concept of mutual growth with patients enhances nurses’ spiritual well-being and spiritual care competencies.

Identifying the key components of providing spiritual care in the hospital: a scoping review study
Background
Spiritual health refers to activities and methods that improve the quality of life and the health of spiritual performance. This study was conducted to identify the key components necessary for providing spiritual care in hospitals.
Methods
The Arksey & OMalley’s framework was employed to conduct this scoping review. In this regard, we examined five English databases: Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane, using the search strategy. The study period was from 2000 to May 25, 2024.
Results
After screening the studies, 76 studies were finally reviewed. The study’s findings were classified into three categories: the goals and principles of spiritual care, the components of the spiritual care system, and the interventions of spiritual care. The goals of spiritual care emphasise patients’ physical, psychological, and social well-being while enhancing their quality of life. It considers ethical principles, patient-centered values, and tailored programs. Key components include management and leadership, providing the required resources, and service delivery process. A diverse range of interventions for spiritual care is offered depending on the patient’s needs and circumstances.
Conclusion
This study underscores the critical role of spiritual care in enhancing patients’ physical, psychological, and social well-being, fostering resilience, and improving quality of life. Integrating spiritual care into healthcare systems promotes holistic treatment, faster recovery, and patient satisfaction. Emphasizing ethical principles, tailored programs, and interdisciplinary collaboration ensures effective implementation. The findings guide healthcare professionals in embedding spiritual care for comprehensive, patient-centered, and practical outcomes.

Correlations among spiritual care competence, spiritual care perceptions and spiritual health of Chinese nurses: A cross-sectional correlational study
The significance of spiritual care competence among nurses has been emphasized across countries and cultures in many studies. However, there were few studies on correlations among spiritual care competence, spiritual care perceptions, and spiritual health of nurses in China.
To investigate spiritual care competence, spiritual care perceptions, and spiritual health, and examine the correlations among spiritual care competence, spiritual care perceptions and spiritual health, and the mediating role of spiritual health between other two variables of Chinese nurses.
A cross-sectional and correlational design was implemented, and the STROBE Checklist was used to report the study. A convenience sample of 2,181 nurses were selected from 17 hospitals in 3 provinces, China. Participants provided data on sociodemographic by completing the Chinese Version of the Spiritual Care Competence Scale, the Chinese Version of the Spiritual Care-Giving Scale, and the Spiritual Health Scale Short Form. Descriptive statistics, univariate, multiple linear regression, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze data.
The total scores of spiritual care competence, spiritual care perceptions, and spiritual health were 58.25 ± 16.21, 144.49 ± 16.87, and 84.88 ± 10.57, respectively, which both were moderate. Spiritual care competence was positively correlated with spiritual care perceptions (
= 0.653,
< 0.01) and spiritual health (
= 0.587,
< 0.01). And spiritual health played a mediating role between the other two variables (accounting for 35.6%).
The spiritual care competence, spiritual care perceptions, and spiritual health of Chinese nurses need to be improved. It is recommended that nursing managers should pay attention to spiritual care education of nurses, and improve spiritual care perceptions and spiritual health in multiple ways, so as to improve their spiritual care competence and to maximize the satisfy spiritual care needs of patients in China.

Living the sutras : a guide to bringing yoga wisdom to life
\"The Yoga Sutras, a classical text written by the guru Patanjali over 2000 years ago, is foundational to Yoga philosophy and practice. The 196 aphorisms offer a potent map for how to navigate through the challenges of life. They contain teachings on how to deal with loss, pain, dissatisfaction, and alienation; they provide guidance on how to cultivate joy and lead a healthy, happy, fulfilling life. But as important as these teachings are, they often feel too esoteric and inaccessible to modern practitioners. Living the Sutras offers a relevant, understandable, and enjoyable entree to this yoga training for the mind and spirit. The authors introduce a sutra or group of sutras on a related theme, provide a brief commentary, and then offer writing prompts to allow you to reflect on and apply the meaning of the sutras to your life. The book is at once an introduction to the classical philosophy, a quick guide for students and teachers, and an active self-study that allows you to engage with the wisdom in a deeply personal way\"-- Provided by publisher.

Status and influential factors of spiritual well-being in cancer patients with drug clinical trials: a cross-sectional study
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the spiritual well-being status of cancer patients in drug clinical trials and its influencing factors, and to provide theoretical support for the spiritual health intervention of clinical trial cancer patients.
Methods
This cross-section study was conducted among 244 cancer patients in clinical trials. The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale Short Form (MSAS-SF), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC 10), and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual (FACIT-SP-12) were used to measure symptom burden, psychological resilience, and spiritual well-being. The Multiple Linear Regression Model was used to determine the influencing factors of patients’ spiritual health.
Results
The overall spiritual health level of cancer patients with clinical trials was high (36.87 ± 11.0), and the spiritual health level was positively correlated with psychological resilience (
r
= 0.872,
P
< 0.001). Religious belief, nationality, treatment regimen, and resilience were independent risk factors for the spiritual health of cancer patients in clinical trials. Patients with religious beliefs (
β
= 0.097,
P
= 0.012), ethnic minorities (
β
= 0.087,
P
= 0.023), and high resilience scores (
β
= 0.874,
P
< 0.001) had higher levels of spiritual health. Patients who received single antineoplastic therapy (
β
= − 0.079,
P
= 0.028) had lower levels of spiritual health.
Conclusion
Our study found that the spiritual health of cancer patients in clinical trials was at a high level, superior to cancer patients receiving conventional anti-tumor therapy. Religious belief, nationality, treatment regimen, and psychological resilience were the influential factors of spiritual health.
