This component holds significance in equipping students with the capacity to deliver spiritual care to patients and thereby strengthening the influence of spirituality on individual’s overall quality of life and their physical and mental well-being. Hence, this study aimed to assess the knowledge and perception of spiritual care among nursing students at the International Islamic University Malaysia, Pahang, Malaysia. This cross-sectional study was carried out among 95 nursing students in their second to fourth years of study, selected through convenience sampling. Frequency tables were employed to describe the categorical data. Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation were used to examine the association between sociodemographic factors with knowledge and perception on spiritual care. P value<0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results indicated that the participants had a mean knowledge score of 10.64, SD=1.44 (min=5, max=13) and a mean perception score of 66.03, SD=8.06 (min=47, max=85). However, there were no significant association between the sociodemographic factors and the knowledge (p>0.05). Also, there were no significant association between the sociodemographic factors and the perception (p>0.05), except for CGPA, which showed a significant association, at p=0.018. These results suggest that factors beyond sociodemographic factors play a role in shaping nursing students' knowledge and perception on spiritual care. Further research is needed to identify these factors and to understand their impact on spiritual care in nursing education and practice.
