Spirituality Educational Intervention to Enhance Spirituality Clinical Practice and Resilience

This descriptive research used an evidence-based spirituality intervention as an innovative approach for nurse leaders to support nurse’s use of spirituality in clinical care to promote resilience in acute care settings. The intervention used the Auctioning Spirituality and Spiritual care Education Training (ASSET) model as a framework to enhance spiritual practices. Two valid and reliable tools measured participant’s attitudes toward spiritual practices and resilience. The sample included participants (N = 185) working in acute care settings. Participants’ attitudes on spirituality-integrated practice are strongly correlated with resilience composite scores (r = 0.562, p < 0.04). Spirituality training enhances self-awareness and increases spiritual dimensions of clinical practice.
