%X Background: The literature is deficient in exploring the relationship between undergraduate nursing students¡¯ resilience and spirituality. This deficit is particularly evident in simulation research. Researchers examined changes in resilience and spirituality in nursing students participating in a critical care end-of-life care simulation. Method: Participants completed the Spiritual Intelligence Self- Report Inventory (SISRI-24) and the Resilience Scale before and after participating in the simulation. Results: There were statistically significant changes in resilience and spirituality growth in the nursing students after participating in the simulation (p< 0.05). In addition, a statistically significant (p< 0.001) weak (r=0.482) to moderately (r=0.530) positive correlation occurred in resilience and spirituality in the nursing students occurred before and after participating in the simulation respectively. Conclusion: Nursing students experienced greater growth in resilience and spirituality after participating in the simulation. In addition, a correlation between resilience and spirituality levels was evident. Nursing educators should consider providing challenging simulations to nursing students.
