Cilj rada: ispitati stavove medicinskih sestara prema duhovnosti te postoje li razlike u stavovima medicinskih sestara/tehničara prema spolu, dobi, razini obrazovanja, prema načinu radnoga vremena i duljini radnoga staža. Nacrt studije: provedena je presječna studija. Kriterij za uključivanje u istraživanje bio je rad na području sestrinske profesije. Ispitanici i metode: u istraživanju je sudjelovalo 157 medicinskih sestara i tehničara Opće županijske bolnici Vinkovci i Doma za starije i nemoćne osobe Vinkovci. Instrument istraživanja bio je anonimni anketni upitnik sa skalom Spirituality and spiritual care rating scale (SSCRS). Rezultati: muškarci se značajno manje slažu s tvrdnjama u odnosu na žene (p=0,045), a ispitanici koji rade samo u prijepodnevnom radnom vremenu značajno manje u odnosu na one koji rade u turnusu ( p=0,015). Nema statistički značajne razlike u odnosu na dob (p=0,100), a pozitivnije slaganje je kod ispitanika koji imaju završenu srednju stručnu spremu, aritmetičke sredine 3,75 (standardne devijacije 0,39) (p=0,129). Medicinske sestre/ tehničari s radnim stažem od 1 do 5 godina manje se slažu s ponuđenim tvrdnjama (p=0,115). Prosječno slaganje medicinskih sestara/ tehničara s radnim stažem od 1 do 5 godina s tvrdnjama je 3,56 (standardne devijacije 0,49) (p=0,115) što je nešto niže u odnosu na ispitanike s više radnog staža, bez značajne razlike. Zaključak: Medicinske sestre/tehničari imaju pozitivne stavove prema duhovnosti. Osobe ženskog spola, srednje stručne spreme i s duljim radnim stažem imaju pozitivnije stavove prema duhovnosti.Work goal: question nurses' attitudes towards spirituality in nursing health care, investigate whether there are differences in the attitudes of nurses/medical technicians according to gender, age, level of education, according to working hours and length of service.

There are no statistically significant differences in relation to age, and there is more positive agreement among respondents who have completed secondary education, arithmetic average of 3,75 (standard deviation of 0,39) (p=0,129) (p=0,129). Average composition of medical nurses/technicians with 1 to 5 years work experience with these claims is 3,56 (standard deviation of 0,49)(p=0,115), which is somewhat lower in relation to respondents with more work experience, with no significant differences.
