According to literature, nurses' spiritual well-being affects how they provide spiritual care.

Data were gathered using three-part questionnaire including demographic information and Spiritual Care Competence Scale (SCCS) and spiritual well-being scale (SWBS). Data analysis was done using descriptive (frequency, percent, mean, standard deviation) and inferential (independent t, Pearson, Spearman, ANOVA Tukey test) statistics using SPSS 21 software.Results: Results showed that nurses' spiritual well-being is significantly and directly associated with their perception of spiritual care delivery (P<0.05). Also, Mean score of nurses' perception of their care competence 95.2 (14.4) and Mean score of spiritual well-being 92.4 (12.3) were both above average (P<0.05). Type of employment and experience in participating workshops had significant relationship with the nurses’ perception of their competence for providing spiritual care and spiritual well-being (P<0.05).Conclusion: Research findings indicate that nurses' perception of their spiritual well-being and spiritual care competence were above average. There was also a significant and positive correlation between spiritual health and the nurses' perception of their spiritual care competence
