Summary

Spiritual nursing care, often challenging in practice, is defined by "caring presence." This approach emphasizes holistic patient needs, including spiritual well-being, hope, and meaning, for optimal humane care.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Healthcare Ethics
  • Qualitative Research

Background:

  • Spiritual nursing care (SNC) is historically significant but lacks consistent integration into contemporary nursing practice.
  • Ambiguity in the definition, clarity, and application of SNC persists in empirical literature.
  • Nurses face challenges in operationalizing and delivering spiritual care effectively.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an operational definition of spiritual nursing care.
  • To explore and describe the application of spiritual nursing care in clinical practice.
  • To identify core components of effective spiritual nursing care.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study utilizing purposive sampling.
  • Data collection through individual and focus group interviews.

  • Thematic analysis using constant comparison, NUD*IST software, and Tech's eight steps.

    • Main Results:

    • 'Caring presence' emerged as the core variable of spiritual nursing care.
    • An operational definition: Humane care involves 'caring presence,' respect, and concern for physical, mental, and spiritual needs.
    • Spiritual needs (hope, meaning) require equal attention to physical and mental needs for optimal patient care.

    Conclusions:

    • Spiritual nursing care is operationalized through demonstrating 'caring presence,' respect, and concern.
    • Holistic care necessitates addressing patients' spiritual needs for hope and meaning alongside physical and mental health.
    • Both religious and nonreligious nurses can provide effective spiritual nursing care by focusing on presence and respect.
