About this trial
This study will evaluate the effect of an educational intervention of spirituality in nursing professionals acting in critical care contexts to favor spiritual self-care, compared with the conventional care group. The educational intervention adopts Pamela Reed's theory of the transcendence of the self as a theoretical reference, which facilitates the understanding of the phenomenon of spirituality by adopting an integral approach focused on personal growth. To determine the effect of the intervention, the Spiritual Perspective Scale (SPS) developed by Reed will be applied.
