Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Ethics
  • Spiritual Care Studies

Background:

  • Spiritual care is integral to holistic patient well-being.
  • A clear definition and framework for spiritual care competencies are lacking in nursing and midwifery.
  • Existing literature requires synthesis to establish foundational competencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and define core competencies in spiritual care.
  • To develop a theoretical framework for spiritual care competencies.
  • To inform the development of spiritual care education and curricula.

Main Methods:

  • An in-depth literature review was conducted.
  • Braun and Clark's (2006) adapted six-phase content thematic analysis was employed.
  • The review focused on spirituality, spiritual care, education, and curricula.

Main Results:

  • Seven distinct domains of spiritual care competencies were identified.
  • A comprehensive list of 116 specific competency items was generated.
  • The findings provide a structured basis for spiritual care competency development.

Conclusions:

  • A robust theoretical framework for spiritual care competencies has been established.
  • The identified competencies are crucial for enhancing spiritual care provision in nursing and midwifery.
  • This framework serves as a foundation for future modified Delphi studies and curriculum development.
