The challenge of providing spiritual care
Prof Nurse.
2004 Nov.
Abstract
Spirituality is an essential element of holistic nursing and nurses need the knowledge and confidence to address spiritual issues with patients. This paper describes the development of a tool to help with broaching this sensitive aspect of care. It argues that nurses need to examine their own spiritual needs in order to be able to help others.
