Abstract / Excerpt:

This study determined if there is a significant relationship between the student's profile: age, year level and religion, and spiritual care rendered to hospitalized patients. The respondents were level 2, 3, and 4 student nurses of Ateneo de Davao University (ADDU). Jean Watson's "Philosophy and Science of Caring" is the theoretical framework of this study. This study utilized descriptive correlational method and convenience sampling with 63 respondents. This study was conducted at ADDU, Finster and Thibault buildings. Data were gathered by utilizing a 25-item self-made survey questionnaire validated by experts. Data analysis showed that spiritual care under prayer and religious rituals is satisfactory; however, unsatisfactory in pastoral care, devotional care and sacred music. Moreover, there was a significant relationship and difference between year level and spiritual care. The researchers recommended to emphasize spiritual care in the nursing practice through incorporating more the concept in the curriculum or learning area.
