A cross-section by using the self-made general information questionnaire, Nurse Spiritual Therapeutics Scale (NSTS), Acceptance of Disability Scale (ADS), and Stigma Scale for Chronic Illness (SSCI). And multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of spiritual nursing needs of patients with permanent enterostomy.Results:The total score of spiritual nursing needs of patients with permanent enterostomy was 30.15 ± 6.46, and the average score of items was 2.51 ± 0.78. Among the five dimensions, the highest average score was creating a good atmosphere 3.10 ± 0.98, and and the lowest was helping religious practice 1.65 ± 0.70. The total score of disability acceptance was 81.94 ± 13.86; the total score of stigma was 64.03 ± 14.28. The total scores of spiritual nursing needs were positively correlated with the total scores of disability acceptance ( r=0.703, P<0.01), and negatively correlated with the total scores of stigma ( r=-0.516, P<0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that religious beliefs, educational level, residence, course of disease, disability acceptance, and stigma were the main influencing factors for the spiritual nursing needs of patients with permanent enterostomy ( t values were -13.26-13.56, all P<0.01), accounting for 52.5% of the total variation. Conclusions:The spiritual nursing needs of patients with permanent enterostomy were moderate. It is suggested that nurses can develop targeted spiritual nursing measures according to the individualized characteristics of patients, improve their disability acceptance and reduce their stigma level, so as to meet their spiritual nursing needs and realize their spiritual safety.
