Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of spiritual care needs among elderly stroke inpatients, in order to provide reference for formulating targeted interventions.Methods:A total of 417 elderly stroke inpatients were selected in five Third-A hospitals from August 2021 to January 2022 by convenient sampling. The questionnaire was conducted using the General Data questionnaire, the Nurse Spiritual Therapeutics Scale (NSTS), the Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness (SSCI) and the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of spiritual care needs of elderly stroke inpatients.Results:The total score of NSTS among 417 elderly stroke inpatients was 31.98 ± 4.39. The dimension of highest and lowest average score were "create good atmosphere" (3.23 ± 0.58) and "help religion" (2.01 ± 0.62), respectively; the results of regression analysis showed that religious belief, education background, course, stigma, and social support were the main factors influencing spiritual care needs among elderly stroke inpatients ( t values were -6.54-7.11, P<0.05). Conclusions:The spiritual care needs among elderly stroke inpatients were moderate.
