Seo, Young-Sook · Sung, Ki-Wol
Abstract
Purpose The main purpose of this study was to identify the influence of nurses' spirituality on hospice care
provided by nurses in long-term care facilities. Methods The participants were 161 nurses working in long-term
care facilities in D and P cities. Data were collected from October to December, 2010 through questionnaires which
included the Measure of Spirituality for Koreans by Lee et al. (2003) and Measure of Hospice Nursing Interventions
by Bae (2000). Data analysis was done with SPSS/WIN 15.0 program and included one-way ANOVA, independent
t-test, Pearson correlation, and stepwise multiple regression. Results There was a significantly positive
relationship between spirituality and hospice nursing interventions (r=.57, p<.001). Spirituality accounted for
32.0% of the variance in hospice nursing interventions for nurses in long-term care facilities. Conclusion
Spirituality was the most important variable predicting hospice nursing interventions by nurses in long-term care
facilities. These findings suggest there is a need to develop effective programs to improve spirituality of nurses
in long-term care facilities.
