Religião e experiência profissional: Serão preditores da inteligência espiritual dos enfermeiros? Estudo transversal

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Objetivos: analisar a relação entre religião e experiência profissional com a inteligência espiritual em enfermeiros.

Métodos: estudo transversal e analítico realizado em 2021, com a participação de 544 profissionais de enfermagem que trabalhavam em estabelecimentos de saúde no Peru durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Para a análise dos dados, foram utilizados a análise de regressão múltipla e a correlação de Pearson.

Resultados: nos enfermeiros, predominou um nível saudável de inteligência espiritual (42,8%). Aqueles que não professavam uma religião tinham maior probabilidade de apresentar uma pontuação menor de inteligência espiritual (escala global e dimensões); no entanto, os enfermeiros experientes tiveram maior probabilidade de apresentar maior inteligência espiritual (escala global e dimensões) do que os enfermeiros novatos (p<0,05).

Conclusões: a inteligência espiritual nos enfermeiros foi predita pela religião e pela experiência profissional. Este achado sugere que a inteligência espiritual na enfermagem se consolida por meio de práticas religiosas e durante o exercício profissional.
