Purpose: Explore what spiritual care means to nurses who work in emergency care units. Design and Method: Nine nursing professionals from an emergency care unit at a private health institution affiliated with the Universidad de La Sabana participated in this descriptive qualitative study. Nonparticipant observation, field notes, and in-depth interviews with a question guide were used to collect the data, which were analyzed by means of content analysis. Results: Three themes and their corresponding subthemes were identified with respect to the significance of spiritual care: (1) interpretation of spiritual care, (2) the patient and the family in spiritual care, and (3) the role of the nurse in spiritual care. Conclusions: These findings provide a deeper understanding of spiritual care in terms of its significance. They also acknowledge its importance to nursing practice in emergency care units. The significance of spiritual care is based on theoretical, scientific, and humanistic points of reference (the discipline of nursing) that strengthen the therapeutic relationship between the patient/family–nurse dyad. The study also offers evidence for holistic nursing practice that requires theoretical-academic, administrative, and assistance support.

Compreender os cuidados espirituais na prática de enfermagem e evidenciar a importância da espiritualidade no enfrentamento do paciente oncológico. Revisão integrativa da literatura, levantamento bibliográfico através de busca eletrônica das publicações nacionais inseridas na base de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS). Foram utilizadas as bases de dados indexadas LILACS (Literatura Latino-Americana do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), BDENF (Base de Dados de Enfermagem) e (IBECS) Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud, publicadas entre 2015-2020. Os estudos demonstram que a Espiritualidade e a Religiosidade são ferramentas de grande proporção para o enfrentamento do câncer dos pacientes, mas a falta de preparo e a falha na assistência dos profissionais de saúde que atendem esses pacientes implicam em uma assistência ineficiente. A religiosidade e a espiritualidade se mostram fundamentais no decurso do processo saúde-doença para o enfrentamento do câncer.  Pacientes as utilizam como instrumentos para que tenham uma nova perspectiva no processo do adoecimento e do tratamento em si. Enfatiza-se, também, a necessidade de abranger o conhecimento dos profissionais enfermeiros acerca do cuidado espiritual.Descritores: Espiritualidade, Cuidados de Enfermagem, Enfermagem Oncológica. Spiritual care in oncology nursing practice for adult patientsAbstract: To understand spiritual care in nursing practice and to highlight the importance of spirituality in coping with cancer patients. Integrative literature review, using the LILACS (Latin American Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences) databases, BDENF (Nursing Database) and (IBECS) Bibliographic Index Español en Ciencias de la Salud. Spirituality and Religiosity are tools of great proportion for coping with patients' cancer, but the lack of preparation, the failure to assist health professionals who care for these patients implies inefficient assistance. Religiosity and spirituality are fundamental in the course of the health-disease process to face cancer and patients use them as a tool to have a new perspective in the process of illness and treatment itself, it is also emphasized the need to cover the knowledge of nursing professionals about spiritual care.Descriptors: Spirituality, Nursing Care, Oncology Nursing. Cuidado espiritual en la práctica de enfermería oncológica para pacientes adultosResumen: Comprender el cuidado espiritual en la práctica de enfermería y resaltar la importancia de la espiritualidad en el afrontamiento de pacientes con cáncer.

Extremity Amputation

Lower extremity amputation is a complication of diabetic foot ulcers that can cause spiritual crisis. Integrating spiritual care into nursing practice is important to overcome this. However, studies articulating the role of nurses in spiritual care when caring for patients with diabetic foot ulcers is limited. This article aims to describe the importance of providing spiritual care for this group of patients. The interpretation of spiritual care with respect to the relationship between the patient and the family, and the role of the nurse are discussed. The findings offer a theoretical perspective on spiritual care that can be used to develop spiritual interventions, as well as prevent spiritual crises in patients with diabetic foot ulcers.

Health And Healing

Faith community nursing and holistic nursing are recognized by the American Nurses Association as nursing specialties. Both nursing specialties practice with the understanding that holistically caring for an individual as a unique whole in his or her totality including respecting and attending to a human being’s spiritual and/or faith-based needs across the life span is integral in promoting health and healing. The purpose of this article is to present the evolution of faith community nursing and holistic nursing practice and to compare their similarities and differences based on each specialty’s current Scope and Standards of Practice. Utilizing each specialty’s Scope and Standards of Practice allowed the authors a fair, practical, and extensive means for presenting a comprehensive and inclusive comparison. Continued and partnered research should be conducted by both specialties to advance their scope and standards of practice, to support comprehensive evidence-based and outcome-based care that promotes health, healing, compassion and caring, and to educate others regarding each nursing specialty’s role, value, and significant contributions to the art and science of nursing.
