The Essence of Spiritual Care

Charlotte S Connerton et al. Creat Nurs. .

Abstract

Spiritual care is an important component of holistic nursing care. To implement spiritual care, the nurse must assess, diagnose, and respond to the needs of each patient and her or his significant others. Meeting the spiritual care needs of the patient can lead to physical healing, reduction of pain, and personal growth. Nurses providing spiritual care experience lower stress and less burnout.
