Holistic care and spirituality: potential for increasing spiritual dimensions of nursing
Aust J Holist Nurs.

Abstract
Holistic care addresses the physical, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions of the client. Health care providers, however, frequently overlook the spiritual dimension. Spiritual care is inseparable from physical, social and psychological care because together they form the whole. Promoting spiritual well-being supports clients in their journey to find meaning and hope in life and peace in death. The preparation of nurses for the spiritual aspects of care deserves much more attention.
