The study was carried out with 110 employees at Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Health Application and Research Center in order to determine the attitudes, opinions and factors affecting the spirituality of employees outside the health staff in health institutions. The data of the research, which is of identificative and cutting-edge quality, was obtained using the survey form created by the researchers after the literary scan. For the analysis of the obtained data, frequency, percentage, average and standard deviation analyses were used, Chi-Square Test, Shapiro-Wilk Test, Independent Samples T Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, One-Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis Test. According to the survey, 35.4 percent of the patients who participated in the study said that the health workers in the hospital and all non-health workers in the health institution should be responsible for the patient’s spiritual care requirements, 78.2 percent believed that the spiritual care provided in the hospital was insufficient, and only 11.8 percent did not want to support the spiritual care. 91.8 percent of employees found that the patient’s spiritual needs should be met in the hospital environment, 31.8 percent found that the patient’s spiritual needs should be consulted by a specialist at the hospital, and 35.5 percent believed that the patient has the right to request or refuse spiritual support. The study found a significant relationship between the state of the employees finding sufficient spiritual support and the levels of education, the idea that spiritual support contributes to the psychosocial healing of patients and the tasks in the hospital, the idea that spirituality is effective in dealing with diseases and giving moral to patients and the civic conditions, the idea that spirituality is inhibiting behaviors that will negatively affect the health of patients and the idea that they have children and the age, the idea that spirituality affects the communication of patients and the consideration that the spiritual needs of patients in the working life are more considered and the state of their duty in the countryside. As a result, workers who do not have health care staff in health institutions believe that while they are aware of the patient’s spiritual needs, the fulfillment of these requirements has a positive contribution to the patient’s health and healing process. Moreover, the majority of employees want to provide spiritual support to the patients. In this context, it is recommended that the training of each person who will work in health institutions will be more focused on the subject of spiritual support, and the planning of service training to improve their awareness, knowledge and practice of the spiritual dimension of health.
