Background: The growth of international migration and globalization has increasingly diversified patient populations, emphasizing the need for nursing students to provide competent spiritual care.
Purpose: To understand the teaching and learning strategies used to prepare undergraduate nursing students for spiritual care.
Methods: An integrative review with deductive data analysis was used to evaluate, analyze, and synthesize diverse research methodologies.
Results: Three educational approaches were identified, including passive, reflective, and combinatory approaches. The combinatory approach appears most appropriate for diverse learning styles within a student group.
Conclusions: No one strategy is best, but any combination of educational strategies can positively impact spiritual care competency within clinical practice.
