Experimental data are presented on the energy dependence of the spin-flip probability S (E) at scattering angles 60, 90, 105, 120, and 135/sup o/ in the proton-energy region 5.7--6.0 MeV and on the excitation functions of inelastic (2/sup +//sub 1/) scattering of protons by /sup 60/Ni in the energy range 5.65--6.0 MeV at scattering angles 90, 100, 120, and 140/sup o/ (lab), and also on the angular dependence of the spin-flip probability S (theta) and of the differential cross sections at E/sub p/=5.83 and 6.0 MeV. The excitation functions of inelastic scattering have a resonance nature. The value of S (E) is almost independent of energy within the statistical error at all scattering angles. A theoretical analysis is made by the distorted-wave Born approximation (DWBA), by the statistical theory, and by the program ''DWBA+Resonance''. By addition of the statistical and ''coherent'' components we obtain a satisfactory description of the experimental data, and we have determined the resonance parameters and the ratios of the contributions of various mechanisms to the inelastic scattering of protons by /sup 60/Ni at E/sub p/approx. =6 MeV.
