Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions.

Background:

  • Many social work practitioners express interest in incorporating spiritual interventions into clinical practice.
  • A significant gap exists in graduate education regarding training for spiritual interventions.

  • To enhance client well-being through informed spiritual care.

Main Methods:

  • Guidelines were developed drawing from the evidence-based practice movement.
  • Key principles include client preference, research evaluation, clinical expertise, and cultural competency.
  • A framework was created to integrate these principles into practice.

Main Results:

  • Four core guidelines were established: client preference, research evaluation, clinical expertise, and cultural competency.
  • These guidelines are designed to be used concurrently.
  • The framework prioritizes client needs and desires in decision-making.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed guidelines offer a structured approach for social workers to ethically implement spiritual interventions.
