Abstract:
Spirituality refers to that which gives us hope, meaning and purpose. It is naturally part of the holistic nature of the care provided by nurses to people going through life's challenges: health-related accident, serious and incurable illness, chronic disease, end of life, etc. A British advanced practice nurse, who has enriched her training with a doctorate in spirituality in the context of health care, enlightens this dimension, which is less formalized in France than in the United Kingdom, and suggests resources for progressing personally and professionally.
