Purpose
The purpose of this study was to construct and test a hypothetical model of clinical nurses’ spiritual nursing care based on the theory of planned behavior. Methods From May 1 to May 31, 2019, data of 289 nurses working at a university hospital were collected and analyzed. Results The goodness-of-fit of the final model was at a good level (TLI=.90, CFI=.91, SRMR=.06, RMSEA=.06). The intention toward spiritual nursing was directly affected by attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control toward spiritual nursing. Spiritual nursing care was both directly and indirectly affected by attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and intention toward spiritual nursing. These variables accounted for 76.6% of the intention to spiritual nursing and 44.5% of spiritual nursing care. Conclusion Clinical nurses’ spiritual nursing care can be improved by intention, attitude, subjective norm, and decreased perceived behavioral control toward spiritual nursing. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the job of nursing, create an environment for spiritual nursing, and develop and implement various education programs.

The subjects for this study were 49 patients on hemodialysis and 54 patients on peritioneal dialysis at C university medical center in Seoul Results were as follows: 1. The average fatigue score in peritoneal dialysis patients tended to be higher in patients on peritoneal dialysis(42.22) than in patients on hemodialysis(39.41). Peritoneal dialysis patients showed higher score than hemodialysis patients in some general characteristics in groups with male, ones in 20's, 40's, 50's, married, college degree, having religion, having occupation, and not take regular nap. 2. The percents of this subjects with feel fatigue at the time of survey was higher in peritoneal dialysis patients(68.5%) than in hemodialysis patients(57.1%). The percentages of the subjects who feel fatigue in peritioneal dialysis patients was higher than hemodialysis patients, and the high tendencies in peritoneal dialysis patients in were obsemed in groups with male, ones in 30's, to have college degree, periods so of 1-2years in peritoneal dialysis, region, men without occupation, regular exercises, regular nap etc.
