The highest score was in the aspect of “connecting with people” and the lowest was in the aspect of “religious sustenance”. (2) The caring behavior of nursing students was medium (51.48±10.61). The highest score was in “understanding patients” and the lowest was in “protecting patients’ rights”. (3) There was positive relationship between spiritual health and caring behavior in nursing students (r=0.276, p<0.001). (4) The six factors predicting spiritual health were “relationship with parents”, “clinical performance”, “smoking habit”, “spiritual course frequence”, “learning interest in class”, and “having religious faith”.
