Aims and objectives To investigate the spiritual care needs and associated factors in patients with ostomy. Background The significance of the spiritual care needs of the patients has been emphasised across countries and cultures in the literature. Design A descriptive, cross‐sectional study. Methods Outpatients with an ostomy (n = 127) were recruited from proctology, wound and stoma therapy unit and general surgery clinics between January and 28 March 2020. The data were collected using the Socio‐demographic Characteristics Form and Spiritual Care Needs Inventory (SCNI). SCNI has two components, namely ‘meaning and hope’ and ‘caring and respect’. Descriptive statistics, correlation, Student's t test, ANOVA and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyse the data. The STROBE checklist was used to report the study. Results The mean scores of the spiritual care needs (65.31 ± 12.83), meaning and hope (37.35 ± 9.37), and caring and respect (27.96 ± 5.63) of the patients with ostomy were found to be moderate. The most significant factors affecting the meaning and hope component were the age, being female and decreases in the level of income. Scores of the patients who perceived the severity of the disease seriously and who practiced religious ritual regularly had more spiritual care needs for the component of caring and respect. Patients with ostomy needed interaction, respect for their privacy and dignity, to be shown concern and to be respected for their religious and cultural beliefs, which were the most salient needs. Conclusions There is an unambiguous requirement for nurses to ensure spiritual care for patients with ostomy. Showing interest and spending time for the interaction with patients with ostomy, need‐based spiritual practices and life review are key elements of spiritual care. Relevance to clinical practice Evaluating patients with ostomy spiritually requires information about how spiritual needs may arise and how to talk about spiritual needs. The result of the present study may help nurses to begin the process of maintaining spiritual care for patients with ostomy.
Women whose education right were taken and have to be students after years face some difficulties. The most important of these difficulties is that women are married, their responsibilities increase due to having children, and when they try to be a student with these responsibilities, they face even more insurmountable situations. There are so many women in this situation in our country. This study was prepared to shed light on determining what difficulties these women are experiencing and what can be done to overcome these difficulties. In the study, 10 women suitable for this situation were reached. The interview technique, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used and the questions in the semistructured interview form were asked. The questions are; what they feel when they are left away from school, education life, what they miss about the school or classroom environment during their stay away from education, what it means to read and receive education, how they have made a way in their lives in the period when they are away from education, what problems they faced when they became a student after a long time were. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed with the descriptive analysis method.
