本文目的在了解護理人員靈性健康、靈性照護能力之相關性，研究方法為橫斷式問卷調查，以北部某區域醫院293名臨床護理人員為對象，研究工具包括基本資料、靈性健康量表與靈性照護能力量表。研究結果：參與研究對象均為女性、平均年齡28歲、屬專科教育程度者居多。護理人員靈性健康單題平均4.0分（單題平均得分範圍從1.9分至5.0分）、靈性照護能力單題平均3.5分（單題平均得分範圍從1.8分至5.0分），靈性健康與靈性照顧能力兩者呈正相關。另外，21.9%研究對象同意學校的教育足夠讓其有能力提供靈性照護；但僅19.5%研究對象認為個人的靈性健康受到關心與重視。本研究協助護理教育及護理行政主管了解護理人員靈性健康與靈照護能力之初貌，可作為規劃護理專業人員靈性護理教育之參考。

This study assessed the correlation between spiritual health and spiritual care abilities among nurses.Designed as a cross-sectional study, it targeted 293 clinical nurses working in a local hospital in northern Taiwan. A self-administered questionnaire was employed that gathered data on respondent demographics,spiritual health and spiritual care abilities. All participants were all female of an average 28 years of age. Most held an associated degree in nursing. Item mean scores for spiritual health and
spiritual care ability were 4.0 (item means ranged from 1.9 to 5.0) and 3.5 (item means ranged from 1.8 to 5.0), respectively. A positive correlation was identified between participant spiritual health status and spiritual care abilities. Nearly one quarter (21.9%) agreed that training received at school was sufficient to deliver effective spiritual care to patients. However, less than one in five (19.5%) agreed that their own spiritual health was being adequately cared for and considered. Study results provide an outline of the spiritual health status and spiritual care abilities of nurses and may serve as a reference for nursing educators and administrators to design relevant spiritual education and training programs for nurses.
