Abstract:
Spirituality is an important resource that individuals use to cope with a chronic illness such as HIV disease. Spirituality has both a religious and an existential component that share the concepts of meaning in life, hope, self-transcendence, and rituals. An integrated perspective utilizing these shared concepts is proposed to assist HIV-positive individuals in coping with the challenges of their disease. Nursing interventions include promoting hope, teaching, sharing information, and creating a sense of empowerment in people with HIV to address spiritual issues. The article concludes with a case study that emphasizes application of the integrated perspective of spirituality with an HIV-positive person.
