ABSTRACT

Aim

To investigate the current status of workplace spirituality and moral resilience among clinical nurses and to explore the relationship between these two factors, thereby providing a reference for developing strategies to enhance nurses' moral resilience.

Design

A cross-sectional survey design.

Methods

From February to April 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to select 1680 nurses from ten hospitals in the Pingliang area of China. Data were collected using the general data questionnaire, Workplace Spirituality Scale(WSS). Furthermore, the relationship between workplace spirituality and moral resilience was analyzed.

Results

A total of 1657 valid questionnaires were ultimately recovered, yielding an effective response rate of 98.63%. The mean score for workplace spirituality was 102.36 ± 21.65, and the mean score for moral resilience was 41.76 ± 6.31, both indicating a moderate level. A significant positive correlation was found between the two variables (r = 0.231, p < 0.05). Multivariate linear stepwise regression analysis revealed that monthly income, department, monthly night shifts, and workplace spirituality scores were significant predictors of moral resilience (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

The moral resilience of clinical nurses is at a moderate level. Enhancing workplace spirituality can contribute to improving their moral resilience.
