Background and Purpose Spiritual care is an essential part of holistic patient care but is provided infrequently in practice. There is a paucity of research investigating the barriers to the provision of spiritual care among Jordanian nurses. The main purpose of this cross-sectional, correlational study was to identify these barriers and to explore the associations with nurses' personal and professional characteristics. A secondary purpose was to examine the psychometric properties of a newlydeveloped spiritual care barriers instrument. Methods We surveyed a convenience sample of Jordanian nurses (N = 282). Participants completed both the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (SWBS) and the Spiritual Care Barriers Scale (SCBS). We conducted an exploratory factor analysis to examine the internal structure of the SCBS, and internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach's alpha. Results The most common perceived barriers were lack of private places (82.3%), absence of an imam (79.8%), insufficient time (78.8%), inadequate skills and competencies (73.7%), lack ofreligious and spiritual facilities and resources in the hospital (71.3%), and insufficient knowledge (71.3%). Nurses' personal spiritual and existential well-being were negatively associated with spiritual care barriers. Head nurses and supervisors reported lower mean scores on perceived barriers than did associate nurses. The SCBS exhibited acceptable evidence of internal consistency and validity. Implications for Practice The findings help Jordanian nurse decision makers in practice and education to overcome barriers to the provision of spiritual care to better meet the spiritual needs of Muslim patients.

约旦向住院患者提供护士精神护理的障碍。

背景和目的精神护理是整体患者护理的重要组成部分，但在实践中很少提供。很少有研究调查约旦护士提供精神保健的障碍。这项横断面的相关研究的主要目的是确定这些障碍并探讨与护士个人和专业特征的关系。第二个目的是检查一种新开发的精神关怀障碍仪的心理测量特性。方法我们调查了约旦护士（N = 282）的便利样本。参与者完成了精神健康量表（SWBS）和精神关怀障碍量表（SCBS）。我们进行了探索性因素分析，以检查SCBS的内部结构，内部一致性由Cronbach's alpha评估。结果最常见的障碍是缺乏私人场所（82.3％），缺乏阿am（79.8％），时间不足（78.8％），技能和能力不足（73.7％），缺乏宗教和精神设施和资源医院（71.3％），知识不足（71.3％）。护士的个人精神和生存幸福与精神护理障碍负相关。主管护士和主管报告说，在感知障碍方面的平均得分低于助理护士。SCBS展示了内部一致性和有效性的可接受证据。
