Abstract: This study aimed to examine the relationship between spiritual care (SC) practices and competence among critical care nurses (CCNs) in Türkiye using structural equation modeling (SEM). A total of 323 CCNs participated, and data were collected using the Nurse Information Form, Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutics Scale (NSCTS) and Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS). The mean NSCTS and SCCS total scores were 46.53 ± 9.57 and 77.31 ± 12.46 points, respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between SCCS and NSCTS scores (r = 0.712, p PubDate: 2025-06-03

Abstract: Lars Tornstam’s Gerotranscendence Theory suggests that the aging process involves a shift in perspective from materialistic concerns to a more cosmic outlook, characterized by transcendence in cosmic, personal, and social dimensions. This study uses a Systematic Literature Network Analysis to explore the central themes and emerging trends in gerotranscendence-related research. A total of 139 articles published between 1992 and 2024 were retrieved from the ISI Web of Science database. The findings revealed core thematic areas including aging care, religiosity, and reminiscence, along with emerging areas such as marketing, environmental design, and gerontology. Although the theory originated in Sweden, its application has become increasingly global, with significant research in countries such as India, China, and Turkey. Despite its relatively recent development, gerotranscendence demonstrates considerable potential as a conceptual framework for interventions that promote positive aging. PubDate: 2025-06-02

Abstract: This study assessed the effects of a spirituality-focused educational intervention on the spirituality, depression, anxiety, and stress of 107 healthcare residents in Pernambuco, Brazil. Using a before-and-after design, the 32-hour intervention was delivered over eight hybrid sessions covering integral health, spirituality, psychoneurobiology, humanization, and end-of-life care. Interactive methods, including discussions, videos, simulations, and the FICA tool, promoted engagement and spiritual coping strategies. Participants completed pre- and post-intervention assessments using validated instruments: the Spirituality Self Rating Scale (SSRS), the Brief Religious/Spiritual Coping Scale (Brief RCOPE), and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21). Participants were mostly women (79.4%), aged 21–25 years (45.8%), single (82.2%), and without religious affiliation (40.2%). Baseline assessments showed high rates of anxiety (52.3%) and stress (57%), while most (63.6%) reported no depressive symptoms. Post-intervention, depressive symptoms slightly increased (56.1%), while anxiety (49.5%) and stress (58.8%) remained stable, with no significant changes. However, spiritual orientation significantly improved (from 15.2 to 21.8, p 0.001). Negative religious/spiritual coping (NRC) predicted poorer mental health. While the intervention did not significantly impact mental health, it enhanced spiritual orientation, underscoring its potential to foster resilience. Future research should explore longer interventions, diverse samples, and integrated psychological support. PubDate: 2025-05-19

Abstract: Research regarding the role of a religious/spiritual (R/S) identity in psychotherapeutic processes and outcomes is limited. Consideration of client treatment preferences specifically has implications for treatment engagement and retention; however, research on the relationship between preferences and client R/S identification is mixed. The current project included two studies of R/S-unaffiliated (Study 1, n = 96; Study 2, n = 135) and Christian (Study 1, n = 90; Study 2, n = 132) participants in the USA. Study 1 investigated differences between these individuals with respect to attitudes toward mental health, preferences for therapist characteristics, and treatment preferences. Study 2 replicated Study 1 in a different community sample and considered how the degree of engagement in R/S services and activities may play a role in therapy-related variables. Results indicated that Christian individuals differed from R/S-unaffiliated individuals in regard to beliefs about the causes of mental illness; preferences for therapists of the same religion, race, and sexual orientation; and preferences for certain therapy tasks (e.g., homework, psychoeducation, learning skills) and types of therapy (e.g., group, family, couples). Results also indicated that preference for same-religion and heterosexual therapists increased as R/S engagement increased. Our findings highlight the importance of R/S in understanding mental health perceptions and treatment preferences and have implications for clinical practice. PubDate: 2025-05-16
