Background: Spiritual sensitivity is a fundamental component of holistic nursing care, given the diversity of patients’ cultural backgrounds and religious beliefs. With the growing Muslim population globally, particularly in Indonesia, delivering Islamic nursing care that addresses the spiritual needs of Muslim surgical patients is crucial for enhancing their spiritual well-being. Despite this, nurses continue to encounter challenges in providing spiritually competent care tailored to Muslim patients.Objectives: This study explores the perspectives of Muslim scholars on spiritually sensitive nursing care for Muslim perioperative patients in Indonesia.Methods: An exploratory-descriptive qualitative design was employed. Nine Muslim scholars from Aceh, Indonesia, were recruited through purposive sampling between June 2023 and January 2024. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed through conventional content analysis. Lincoln and Guba's criteria were applied to ensure trustworthiness of the data.Results: Analysis yielded three main themes and ten categories: 1) the importance of Sharia-based perioperative nursing care, including its meanings and benefits; 2) the integration of Sharia values into perioperative nursing practices, encompassing facilitation of patients’ worship activities, enhancement of motivation, maintenance of privacy, application of Sharia principles in communication, and medication use; and 3) the competencies required of Sharia perioperative nurses, including knowledge, attitudes, and skills.Conclusion: The findings highlight the importance of incorporating Islamic nursing principles in the care of Muslim surgical patients and highlight the need for nurses to strengthen competencies in this domain. These insights provide a foundation for further initiatives and offer a framework to improve spiritually sensitive care for Muslim perioperative patients.
