Procjena znanja i stavova prema duhovnosti u domeni pružanja zdravstvene skrbi

Theoretical starting points: Every patient has a legitimacy to receive spiritual care within their health care, while a health care professional has a responsibility and obligation to provide it. Methods: The goal of this research was to determine students’ opinions on the matters of spirituality within receiving health care as well as to question the correlation between sociodemographic characteristics, and the difference between students’ opinions towards the dimension of spirituality. The survey was taken by 161 students of University of Zagreb, aged 20,86±3,81. For the purpose of this study, a validated version of SSCRS (Spirituality and spiritual care rating scale,) questionnaire was used to assess perception and opinions on spiritual care. Results: According to the results of the research students have a positive stance when it comes to the spiritual dimension, regardless of their field of study. Most of the students believe health care professionals that have completed their formal education, to be well acquainted with providing spiritual care, however, the said students included in the research had no training on the matter during their formal education. Discussion and conclusion: High quality health care requires health care professionals to be prepared both in their professional fields and the spiritual dimension, and to accommodate to this request, it is necessary to conform the curriculum to the domain of providing spiritual care.Teorijska polazišta: Legitimitet na duhovnu skrb ima svaki pacijent u okviru zdravstvene zaštite, a zdravstveni djelatnik obvezu njezina pružanja i odgovornost za nju. Metode: Cilj istraživanja bio je: utvrditi stavove studenata prema duhovnosti u pružanju zdravstvene skrbi te ispitati povezanost sociodemografskih karakteristika i razlike u stavovima studenata prema dimenziji duhovnosti. U istraživanju je sudjelovao 161 student Sveučilišta u Zagrebu u dobi od 20,86±3,81. Za svrhe ovog istraživanja korištena je validirana verzija SSCRS upitnika (Spirituality and spiritual care rating scale) za procjenu percepcije i stavova duhovne skrbi. Rezultati: Prema dobivenim rezultatima istraživanja studenti, neovisno o smjeru studija, imaju pozitivne stavove prema dimenziji duhovnosti. Većina studenata smatra da su zdravstveni djelatnici nakon završetka formalnog obrazovanja upoznati s pružanjem duhovne skrbi no istovremeno studenti obuhvaćeni ovim istraživanjem nisu imali nikakvu edukaciju o duhovnoj skrbi za vrijeme svog formalnog obrazovanja. Rasprava i zaključak: Kvalitetna zdravstvena skrb pacijenta zahtijeva pripremljenost zdravstvenog djelatnika kako u stručnosti tako i u duhovnosti. Da bi se odgovorilo na ovaj zahtjev potrebno je prilagoditi sadržaj nastavnog kurikuluma u domeni pružanja duhovne skrbi
