Background. Nurses face barriers both from the environment and from themselves in providing spiritual care. Their perception to the spirituality as well as the spiritual care may contribute into this situation. Aim.

The Spirituality Spiritual Care Rating Scale (SSCRS) Bahasa Indonesia version was applied to measure the nurses’ perceptions. Six other questions related to nurses’ prior knowledge, responsibilities and work experiences were added. To examine the differences in the nurse’s perception of Spirituality (SP) and Spiritual Care (SC), independent t-test and One-Way ANOVA were applied. Findings.
