Abstract: (204 Views)
Spiritual intelligence, defined as the capacity to effectively utilize religious and spiritual resources, plays a crucial role in providing high-quality nursing care. This study aimed to investigate the effect of spiritual intelligence training on nurses' competency in caring for patients. This review study utilized a comprehensive search strategy, including Persian and English keywords (Spirituality, Spiritual Intelligence, Spiritual Care, and Nursing) within the PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and SID databases, covering the period from 2017 to 2023. A total of 21 full-text articles (in English and Persian) were selected and analyzed. The findings revealed that 45% of the nurses assessed exhibited below-average levels of spiritual care competency. Most studies demonstrated a significant positive correlation between spiritual intelligence and nurses' competence in providing spiritual care. Spiritual intelligence fostered the development of nurses' beliefs, personality traits, and a strong desire for personal and professional growth, ultimately enhancing the quality of nursing care. Furthermore, male gender, place of residence, and religious adherence emerged as predictors of nurses' spiritual care competency. Studies consistently highlighted the increased importance of spiritual dimensions during illness and hospitalization, emphasizing the critical need for nurses to provide comprehensive spiritual care.Based on this review, it is evident that ethical challenges exist within nursing care, and some nurses may not adequately address the spiritual needs of their patients. Therefore, promoting spirituality in nursing care through spiritual intelligence training is essential to enhance the quality of nursing practice.
