Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Psychology
  • Religious Studies

Background:

  • Nurses face significant stress, impacting job performance and patient care.
  • Emotional and spiritual well-being are crucial for effective nursing.
  • Forgiveness is a key component of emotional and spiritual health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between nurses' religious beliefs and their capacity for self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others.
  • To explore the influence of religiosity on nurses' psychological well-being and professional effectiveness.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive correlational study utilizing online surveys.
  • Validated instruments included the Enright Forgiveness Inventory-30, Enright Self-Forgiveness Inventory, and Duke University Religious Index.
  • Data collected from nurses to assess forgiveness, self-forgiveness, and religiosity.

Main Results:

  • Forgiveness of others showed a positive association with non-organized religious activities and intrinsic religiosity.
  • Non-organized religious activities predicted forgiveness of others, while organized religious activities showed a negative prediction.
  • Self-forgiveness was not significantly associated with religiosity indicators; seriousness of self-offense was the primary predictor.

Conclusions:

  • Nurses' engagement in non-organized religious activities and intrinsic religiosity may enhance their ability to forgive others.
  • Self-forgiveness in nurses is primarily influenced by the severity of the offense, not religious beliefs.
  • Promoting forgiveness strategies is essential for nurses' well-being, effective patient care, and improved patient outcomes.
