Spiritual care in nursing, to me means providing help to
maintain and cope with illness, loses and life changes by
combining mind, body and spirit. Spiritual care to me also
means providing or facilitating patients with practices, beliefs,
rituals or objects that people turn to during difficult times. This
could be prayer, meditation, poetry or music or a visit from
their priest, pastor or rabbi. Spiritual care gives meaning to
life and gives hope. Many patients know that their faith and
spirituality will help them heal and people turn to their
spirituality when facing difficult times. I personally believe that
we need to be more aware as nurses and health care providers of
the patients’ spiritual needs.
My definition of spiritual care is in accordance with the
readings: according to the chapter “Spiritual Care” means being
present, praying, sharing the gospel, offering words of witness
and encouraging and participating in a healing service. It also
means arranging referrals, planning creative strategies for
follow up home care and even helping the patient become
connected with a Christian community. Patients have many
physical needs but sometimes the spiritual need takes priority.
According to Shelly and Fish, in
Spiritual Care: The Nurse Role.
A spiritual need is “the lack of any factor or factors necessary
to establish and/or maintain a dynamic, personal relationship
with God” In spiritual care nurses and health care providers
need to facilitate a personal relationship with God. Putting
people in touch with God through compassionate, active
listening, witnessing to them, prayer and bible reading.
According to the reading chapter Spiritual care is not only
welcomed by the Christian or spiritual patients the non-faithful
welcome this kind of care when it is delivered with a gentle
heart, gentle spirit and humility.
