Terms such as religion and spirituality usually imply a mature understanding of philosophical values of life principles and existence. In a holistic paradigm, nurses are ethically obligated to support spiritual aspects of care just as they do the biophysical elements. But how often is this all important step overlooked in our assessments and interventions? This essay contains a discussion of basic spiritual and religious principles, the moral obligations to alleviate spiritual suffering and the principles of altruism, beneficence, goodness, individuality, and the need for continuing spiritual education as a component of a holistically competent practice.
宗教和灵性等术语通常意味着对生活原则和存在的哲学价值观有成熟的理解。在整体范式中，护士在伦理上有义务像支持生物物理方面一样支持护理的精神层面。但在我们的评估和干预中，这一至关重要的步骤被忽视的频率有多高呢？本文讨论了基本的精神和宗教原则、减轻精神痛苦的道德义务以及利他主义、善行、善良、个性等原则，还讨论了将持续的精神教育作为整体胜任实践的一个组成部分的必要性。
