Abstract

Nurses carry out spiritual care based on ethical principles, and they must have spiritual sensitivity to meet spiritual care needs. Seen from this angle, it is important to determine nurse’s spiritual sensitivity in order to meet patient’s spiritual care needs, to increase patient-nurse communication and to adopt a holistic approach to care. For this reason, the aim of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish Nurse’s Spiritual Sensitivity Scale. In the present study, a sample size of 207 nurses was reached in the data collection stage. The Turkish Nurse’s Spiritual Sensitivity Scale (NSSS) is a Likert-type scale consisting of 20 items and a single factor. There are no reverse-scored statements on the scale. A score of zero shows no spiritual sensitivity, and four shows higher spiritual sensitivity. The minimum score on the scale is zero, and the maximum score is 80. It was seen in this study that the Nurse’s Spiritual Sensitivity Scale is a valid and reliable measurement instrument for a Turkish sample. This scale can be used by professionals to determine the spiritual sensitivity of Turkish nurses.
