      ab: Studies conducted on spirituality show that nurses are aware of patients' spiritual needs. However, they have difficulty providing spiritual care because they receive limited education in this area. Quality of care can be increased with the determination of nursing students' perspectives regarding spirituality and spiritual care and with the introduction of appropriate interventions. The study was conducted to determine students' perspectives on spirituality and spiritual care. This is a descriptive study. The study population included 430 students studying in the nursing department of a faculty of the health sciences. The study sample included 265 students. Data were collected using the 'Structured Information Form,' which the researcher prepared based on the literature, and the 'Spiritual Care-Giving Scale.' The relationships between two independent variables were examined using the Mann-Whitney U test and between multiple independent variables were examined using the Kruskal-Wallis test. Students stated that the biggest obstacle in evaluating spirituality and spiritual care practices was being unable to identify spiritual problems as readily as physical problems (68.7%). The spiritual care practices most frequently utilized by the students were listening to patients, devoting special time to patients, having a conversation with patients. Education regarding spirituality and conversations with patients regarding spirituality positively affected the perspective of spirituality and spiritual care. Students who could not identify spiritual problems had difficulty defining the spiritual care subscale.
