ÖZET
 Amaç: Bu çalışma, koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 [coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)] pandemi sürecinde hemşirelerin maneviyat ve manevi bakımı algılama düzeylerinin hasta bakımına etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırma kesitsel tipte olup, Temmuz-Ağustos 2021 tarihleri arasında Türkiye'de bir şehir hastanesinde COVID-19 kliniklerinde çalışan ve çevrim içi olarak araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden hemşireler çalışmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak, katılımcıların demografik özelliklerini içeren kişisel bilgi formu ve Maneviyat ve Manevi Bakım Derecelendirme Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Manevi bakım ile ilgili bilgiye sahip olan hemşirelerin %63,0'ının hastasına manevi bakım uyguladığını, hastasına manevi bakım uygulaması yapamayan hemşirelerin %58,8'i bunun nedeninin personel yetersizliğinden kaynaklandığını, %94,6'sı pandemi sürecinde hemşirenin kendisini koruyarak manevi bakım uygulayabileceğini, %87,0'ı maneviyat ve manevi bakım uygulaması ile ilgili eğitimin önemli olduğunu belirtmiştir. Hemşirelerin manevi bakım uygulama durumu ile Maneviyat ve Manevi Bakım Dereceleme Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması ile manevi bakım alt boyutu ve bireysel bakım alt boyut puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamalı ilişki bulunmuştur ve hastasına manevi bakım uygulama yapan hemşirelerin Maneviyat ve Manevi Bakım Dereceleme Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Sonuç: Hemşirelerin maneviyat ve manevi bakım uygulamalarına ilişkin bilgi gereksinimlerinin giderilmesi ve uygulamaya engel olan sorunların çözülmesi hasta bakım düzeyinin artmasına yardımcı olabilir.
