Abstract: (1 Views)
Spiritual care is a fundamental component of holistic care that addresses patients’ needs for meaning, hope, and existential concerns alongside physical treatment. Despite its importance, it is not widely implemented in nursing practice due to conceptual ambiguity, lack of structured education, professional challenges, and organizational limitations. Heavy workload, absence of clear assessment frameworks, and concerns about invading patients’ privacy are among the main barriers. Strengthening specialized training, providing organizational support, using spiritual assessment tools, and developing multidisciplinary teams can improve its implementation. Ultimately, spiritual care serves as a bridge between treatment and humanity, enhancing the quality of care and the satisfaction of both patients and nurses.
