Background: Educating nurses on the principles and values of spiritual care contributes to a deeper understanding of moral issues. This study aimed to determine the effect of training emergency nurses in spiritual care on their moral sensitivity and professional competence.
Research design: This was a quasi-experimental study with a control group that was conducted in 2023 on 53 nurses who worked in the emergency departments of two hospitals in Qom, Iran. Spiritual education was provided to the experimental group through a four-hour workshop conducted over two days, as well as a virtual educational module presented over a period of two weeks. questionnaires on moral sensitivity and professional competence of spiritual care completed before, immediately after the intervention, and two months later. The data was analyzed through the Chi-square test, independent samples t-tests, and the repeated measures analysis of variance in SPSS16.
Findings: Baseline characteristics were similar in both groups. The moral sensitivity scores of the intervention group were significantly higher than the control group after the intervention and at the follow-up time (p<0.0001). At the post-intervention (p<0.0001) and follow-up time (p=0.010), the mean score of professional competence in the intervention group was significantly higher than in the control group.
Conclusions: Providing spiritual care training to emergency nurses can enhance their spiritual care competence and moral performance.
