Data were collected using the Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS), the Spiritual Support Perception Scale (SSPS), the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale (FATCOD), and the Death Attitude Profile Scale (DAP-R). The predictive role of nurses\u2019 perceptions of spiritual care on their attitudes toward caregiving for patients approaching death and dying was examined using path analysis. The results of the analysis were presented as descriptive statistics (mean\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0SD), and frequency (percentage) distributions. The reliability of the scales and subscales was examined using the Cronbach\u2019s alpha internal consistency coefficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S1478951526101813_sec4d\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The path coefficient between the SSCRS and the DAP-R subscales of\n                      <jats:italic>Fear of Death<\/jats:italic>\n                      (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.232;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.025),\n                      <jats:italic>Death Avoidance<\/jats:italic>\n                      (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.301;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.007),\n                      <jats:italic>Neutral Acceptance<\/jats:italic>\n                      (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.22;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.01),\n                      <jats:italic>Approach Acceptance<\/jats:italic>\n                      (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.444;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001), and\n                      <jats:italic>Escape Acceptance<\/jats:italic>\n                      (\u03b2\u00a0=\u00a00.659;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) was statistically significant.
