Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will evaluate the effect of an educational intervention of spirituality in nursing professionals acting in critical care contexts to favor spiritual self-care, compared with the conventional care group. The educational intervention adopts Pamela Reed's theory of the transcendence of the self as a theoretical reference, which facilitates the understanding of the phenomenon of spirituality by adopting an integral approach focused on personal growth. To determine the effect of the intervention, the Spiritual Perspective Scale (SPS) developed by Reed will be applied.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Since its historical origins, nursing has been deeply linked to values and principles that give it a solid spiritual heritage. This spiritual connection has been the basis on which the profession has developed, allowing it to evolve without losing its fundamental essence.

In contexts of high emotional demand, such as critical care environments, professionals are faced with multiple spiritual needs that produce existential crises in the search for meaning and purpose, then spirituality acts as a source of strength that not only helps to face challenges, but also promotes greater satisfaction in their daily work.

Thus, the integration of spirituality in the workplace has demonstrated multiple benefits such as increased motivation and commitment, greater job satisfaction and significant improvements in mental and emotional health.

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors

Due to the nature of the intervention under study, neither the participants nor the professional who will carry out the intervention can be masked. Therefore, masking will be done in the following way: a) the intervention provider will not know the outcome indicators of the study, b) the outcome evaluator will not know to which group (intervention or control) the participants will belong.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Participant group/arm
