From August to October 2009, the experimental group participated in the SCEP, which were held 2 hours a week for 6 weeks. The data were analyzed using χ2-test, Fisher's exact probability test, paired t-test, t-test with the SPSS WIN 17.0 statistics program.
  • Results

  • Conclusion
    The results of this study indicate that the SCEP was effective in improving spirituality, spiritual well-being and spiritual care competence for nursing students.
