    Nurses play an important role in providing holistic care to patients, including addressing their spiritual needs. However, nurses may not always adequately assess or engage with patients' spiritual needs due to time constraints, lack of understanding of their role, and insufficient training. There are also disparities between Taiwanese and mainland Chinese nurses in their understanding and training around spiritual care. Many nurses feel they need more education to properly address patients' spiritual distress and requirements, especially at end of life.

    Religious Affiliation towards end-of-life care in nursing students

    According to the Willemse, Smeets, Leeuwen, & Janssen (2018) The recognition of

    spiritual requirements as an essential component of nursing care and evaluation follows, and as

    a result, it is possible to consider them to be a patient outcome. Indeed, there is an increasing

    focus on the significance of patients' spiritual requirements on a global scale. The nurse's duty

    is thought to include a significant amount of spiritual care. This is in line with the nurse's

    complex job, which emphasizes holistic care and considers patients' physical, psychological,

    social, and spiritual requirements. As stated by above, patients may experience spiritual distress

    at any point in their journey, thus nurses should be ready to offer spiritual care anytime it is

    required, including by offering a spiritual needs assessment. Additionally, it was discovered that

    nurses were more likely than doctors to offer spiritual care and contact specialized spiritual

    caregivers.

    Despite this, according to Hu, Li, & Chiou (2019) there is evidence that nursing staff may

    not always adequately address spiritual needs and assessments, with data suggesting

    inconsistent engagement with patients' spiritual requirements Time constraints, fear of the

    patient's response to their attempts to provide spiritual care, and other factors are all possible

    culprits. Moreover, there are disparities in the understanding of and training in spiritual care

    between Taiwanese and Mainland Chinese nurses, which may also impair their capacity to give

    spiritual care. Additionally, it is claimed that nurses are unclear about their role in spiritual care

    and evaluation, this uncertainty regarding spiritual distress and the absence of a clear definition

    of spiritual care may make nurses less willing to provide spiritual care to their patients. A
    perceived lack of spiritual care expertise, inadequate planning, and insecurity may all be

    factors. In fact, nurses frequently mention the need for extra training in this area.
