Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between student and instructor perceptions of spiritual care as it is contained within their nursing schools' curricula. Student and instructor perceptions of spiritual nursing care, of the number of hours of spiritual care content, of perceptions of the extent that spiritual care is applied by students to the care of patients, of levels of comfort applying/teaching spiritual care, and of adequacy of spiritual care content in the curricula of nursing programs were examined.
