Abstract

A cross-sectional study using Spiritual Coping Questionnaire (SCQ) to explore the spiritual stress coping among Muslim Emergency and Critical Care nurses. 113 Participants were recruited. SCQ demonstrated good validation estimates. Positive religious behavior was the main spiritual coping with job stress. Likewise, spiritual coping was highly perceived as religious. Critical care nurses reported significantly higher positive social coping. Nurses with longer work experiences were significantly better in positive spiritual coping. Spiritual coping practices are highly prevalent in healthcare settings despite still lacking integration of spiritual components in its physical infrastructure, health policy and management.
