Spirituality is recognized as a coping mechanism and a critical component of holistic care. Jean Watson\u2019s Transpersonal Human Caring Theory posits that nurses\u2019 spiritual perception influences their provision of spiritual care, which is the highest quality of care a patient can receive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To describe ICU nurses\u2019 spiritual care competence (SCC), its associations, and factors.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study of ICU registered nurses was conducted.

Strong positive associations were found between spiritual care competence and perception of spirituality, spiritual care practice, and personalized care. A weak negative association was also found between competency and religiosity. Regression analysis identified perceptions of spirituality, spiritual care practice, personalized care, and religiosity as predictors of spiritual care competency (R\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 60.60%, Adjusted R\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 58.8%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ICU nurses\u2019 spiritual care competence was associated with perceptions of spirituality, spiritual care practice, personalized care, and religiosity.
