Abstract

Spirituality is a subject which is often neglected in nursing education. The purpose of this study was to determine associate degree nursing faculty's perception of their ability to teach the spiritual dimension in the delivery of nursing care. The study explored whether faculty have received training related to spiritual care, how and where nursing programs integrate spirituality education into the curriculum, nursing faculty's understanding of the terms spirituality and spiritual care, and faculty members perception of whether they receive sufficient support and guidance in teaching related to spirituality and spiritual care. Survey research was used in this study.
