- Summary:
- What do we mean by 'spirituality'? How do we define it? Why are the spiritual needs of individuals important, especially within a health care context? This fully updated new edition considers these questions and their implications for today's holistic approach to care and support.
- Drawing extensively on case studies illustrating the application of theory to practice, Making Sense of Spirituality in Nursing and Health Care Practice outlines systematic and cyclical approaches to spiritual care, and through reflective activities encourages the exploration of what spirituality means both to patients and the health care professionals caring for them. The importance of spiritual assessment and a team approach are also discussed and explained through interactive exercises.
