Nurses can lead healthcare in spiritual care, despite discomfort and lack of evidence. Enhancing spiritual care practices requires further research and support for nurses.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Holistic Health
  • Spiritual Care

Background:

  • Holistic care encompasses spiritual needs, yet healthcare providers often lack comfort discussing spiritual matters.
  • Spiritual care is a recognized standard of care by national nursing groups, but nurses lack adequate preparation and rewards.
  • Existing spiritual assessment tools and intervention suggestions lack robust research-based evidence on effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the need for improved spiritual care in healthcare.
  • To emphasize the potential role of nurses in advancing spiritual care theory and practice.
  • To identify the gap in research regarding the effectiveness of spiritual care assessments and interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review on spiritual care standards and tools.

  • Analysis of the current state of spiritual care in nursing practice.
  • Identification of research gaps in spiritual care interventions.

    • Main Results:

    • Healthcare providers experience discomfort with spiritual discussions.
    • Nurses are not sufficiently prepared or incentivized for spiritual care.
    • There is a lack of empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of current spiritual care methods.

    Conclusions:

    • Nurses are uniquely positioned to lead the development of spiritual care theory and practice due to their close client contact and emphasis on caring.
    • Further research is needed to establish evidence-based practices for spiritual care assessments and interventions.
    • Healthcare systems should better support and reward nurses in providing spiritual care.
