Results: The overall average of the respondents in work engagement was 4.33 (SD = 1.10), with more nurses reporting high or very high work engagement (53.7%). The hospital, age and spiritual climate were recognized as significant predictors of ‘vigour’. The hospitals spiritual climate was the only significant factor influencing nurses ‘dedication’.

Conclusion: Having a positive hospital spiritual climate was associated with better work engagement among nurses.
