Description
Introduction: Spiritual care for children is important in the care provided by nurses so that children do not feel
guilty when being treated in the hospital. It is important for nurses to understand that the process of providing
nursing care is bio-psycho-social and spiritual based. This study aimed to find out the relationship between
knowledge, self-efficacy, and nurse behavior in the provision of spiritual care for school-age children in hospitals.
Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach with a purposive sampling technique followed by 102 nurses
who cared for school-age children in a pediatric nursing room. Knowledge was measured using the Spiritual Care-
Giving Scale, Self-Efficacy was measured by Burkhart Spiritual Care Inventory (BCI), and Nurse Spiritual Care
Therapeutic Scale (NSCTS) to measure behavior. The data were analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and
Spearman correlation test.
Results: There was no significant correlation between knowledge and behavior (p = 0.181; r = 0.133); however,
there was a significant correlation of nurse behavior with self-efficacy (p = 0.027; r = 0.219), age (p = 0.015; r =
0.240), length of work (p = 0.021; r = 0.228), and spiritual care training (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: Knowledge does not have a significant relationship with behavior. However self-efficacy, age, length of
work, and spiritual care training significantly affects the nurse's behavior in providing spiritual care to school-age
children in the hospital.
