Spirituality is increasingly recognized as a factor that may influence how nurses respond to workplace demands and patient care responsibilities. In hospital settings, spiritual well-being may help strengthen meaning, resilience, compassion, and commitment to service, which are important in sustaining positive professional behavior. This study examined the relationship between spirituality and work attitude among nurses employed at Novaliches District Hospital. Specifically, it described the respondents’ demographic profile, determined their level of spiritual well-being, assessed their work attitude, and tested the relationship between the two variables. A descriptive-correlational research design was utilized. Thirty registered nurses, including Nurse I, Nurse II, and Contract of Service nurses, participated in the study. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire composed of three parts: demographic profile, a 10-item adapted Spiritual Well-Being Scale, and a 20-item work attitude questionnaire adapted from the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. Frequency counts and percentages were used to describe demographic characteristics, while mean and standard deviation were computed for spiritual well-being and work attitude. Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient was used to examine the relationship between the variables. The findings showed that the respondents had a moderately high level of spiritual well-being and a generally positive work attitude. Correlation analysis revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between spirituality and work attitude, r = 0.454, p = 0.012. These findings suggest that nurses with higher spiritual well-being tend to demonstrate more favorable professional attitudes. Spirituality may therefore support resilience, compassion, and sustained commitment in nursing practice.
