Description

<p>  This study aimed to develop nurses’ spiritual care practices (NSCP) scale for Japanese nurses and investigate its validity and reliability. The subjects of this study were 1058 Japanese nurses. With regard to the validity, the construct validity was investigated using a hypothetical model that assumes four factors : “care as a premise of spiritual care,” “to believe in patients and be with them,” “collaboration with others,” and “care for patients exploring self-existence” as primary factors and spiritual care as a secondary factor. In addition, concurrent validity in relation to moral sensitivity and convergent validity in relation to human care were investigated. Results showed that the construct validity, concurrent validity, and convergent validity were established. In the NSCP, “care for patients exploring self-existence” scored the lowest, indicating that this factor needs to be improved. Therefore, support for nurses’ preparedness to meet the challenges of spiritual care is required.</p>
