Background and Objectives: Spiritual health is one of the factors affecting the quality of nursing care provided to patients. Ethical sensitivity has been introduced as the basis of ethical performance and care in the nursing profession. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between spiritual health and the ethical sensitivity of nursing students.
Methods: The present descriptive-analytical correlational study was conducted on 120 nursing students of the Islamic Azad University of Shahrekord in 2023 selected by the census method sampling. Data were collected using two standard questionnaires: Lutzen's moral sensitivity questionnaire and Palutzian and Ellison's spiritual well-being scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient) by SPSS software, version 24.
Results: The mean spiritual health score was 86.42±16.78 and was at the desired level, and the ethical sensitivity of nursing students was 61.13±11.17 at a moderate level. There was a significant positive relationship between the spiritual health score and the ethical sensitivity of nursing students (r=0.188, P<0.05).
Conclusion: Given the importance of spiritual health in relation to the ethical sensitivity of nursing students, it is suggested that spiritual concepts be introduced to nursing students through the implementation of workshops on spirituality and spiritual health, or through the incorporation of these concepts into the curriculum, to enhance the spiritual health and ethical sensitivity of nursing students.
