Objective:
To examine the relationship between spiritual well-being and perceived stress levels in primary health care nursing professionals.
Methods:
This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 87 nursing professionals. Data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale and the Spiritual Well-being Scale. The data were then analyzed using Spearman's correlation, simple linear regression, and the Kruskal-Wallis test.
Results:
A significant difference was observed in perceived stress levels across high, moderate, and low categories of spiritual well-being, with a medium effect size. Spiritual well-being showed a moderate negative correlation with perceived stress levels.
Conclusion:
Higher levels of spiritual well-being are associated with lower levels of perceived stress, suggesting that spirituality may be an effective coping tool for managing stress among primary health care nursing professionals.
