Objective: It has been noted that an empathic approach toward patients is a way to meet the needs of patients and can affect spiritual care. The current study was conducted to determine whether there is a correlation between nurses' empathy skills and the spiritual care therapeutic. Material and Methods: The sample of this correlational and descriptive study comprised of 100 nurses. The Empathy Skill Scale (ESS) Form B and the Nurse Spiritual Care Therapeutic Scale (NSCTS) were used to collect data. Results: The total mean score of the nurses were 145.01±24.21 on the ESS, and 43.24±15.77 on the NSCTS. There was a statistically positive and weak correlation between ESS and NSCTS (r=0.174, p<0.05). Differences were observed with respect to the importance the nurses attributed to meeting the spiritual care needs of patients and the degree to which they liked the nursing profession according to the ESS (p<0.05). Differences were observed with respect to the training in spiritual care, or the degree to which nurses met the spiritual care needs of patients, importance the nurses attributed to meeting the spiritual care needs of patients and the degree to which they liked the nursing profession according to the NSCTS. Conclusion: Improving the empathy skills of nurses could improve their spiritual care therapeutics.

Amaç: Hastalara empatik yaklaşımın hastaların ihtiyaçlarını karşılamanın bir yolu olduğu ve manevi bakımı etkileyebileceği belirtilmektedir. Bu çalışma, hemşirelerin empati becerileri ile manevi bakım terapötikleri arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını belirlemek için gerçekleştirildi. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel türdeki mevcut çalışmanın örneklemini 100 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında Tanımlayıcı Özellikler Formu, Empati Beceri Ölçeği (EBÖ) Form B ve Hemşire Manevi Bakım Terapötik Ölçeği (HMBTÖ) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin toplam puan ortalaması EBÖ'den 145,01±24,21, HMBTÖ'den 43,24±15,77 olarak belirlendi. EBÖ ile HMBTÖ arasında istatistiksel olarak pozitif yönde zayıf düzey bir ilişki olduğu belirlendi (r=0,174, p<0,05). Hemşirelerin, hastaların manevi bakım ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasına verdikleri önem ve hemşirelik mesleğini sevme dereceleri açısından EBÖ'ye göre farklılık görüldü (p<0,05). Manevi bakım konusunda eğitim alma veya hemşirelerin hastaların manevi bakım ihtiyaçlarını karşılama düzeyi, hemşirelerin hastaların manevi bakım ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasına atfettikleri önem ve hemşirelik mesleğini sevme dereceleri arasında HMBTÖ göre farklılıklar gözlenmiştir. Sonuç: Hemşirelerin empati becerilerinin geliştirilmesi manevi bakım tedavilerini geliştirebilir.
