To explore the inter-relatedness of culture and spirituality in the context of cancer caregiving and to provide suggestions for improving clinical practice.
Research reports and theoretical and clinical papers from nursing and medicine.
Understanding spiritual-cultural influences that affect responses to cancer are essential if a nurse is to provide effective care. Research has documented spiritual-cultural aspects of cancer prevention and screening, living and coping with cancer, and dying with cancer. This research suggests that African American and Hispanic cancer patients are more religious, recognize more spiritual needs, and benefit more from religious coping strategies, than do white Americans.
Strategies proposed for increasing a nurse's effectiveness while caring for clients with diverse spiritual-cultural beliefs and behaviors include: increasing awareness of personal spiritual-cultural values and beliefs, gaining knowledge about diverse religious traditions, and negotiation with clients when values and beliefs that compromise care conflict.
探讨癌症护理背景下文化与精神性的相互关联性，并为改进临床实践提供建议。
护理和医学领域的研究报告以及理论与临床论文。
如果护士要提供有效的护理，了解影响癌症应对反应的精神文化影响至关重要。研究记录了癌症预防与筛查、患癌生存与应对以及临终关怀中的精神文化方面。该研究表明，与美国白人相比，非裔美国人和西班牙裔癌症患者更虔诚，认识到更多的精神需求，并且从宗教应对策略中获益更多。
为提高护士在护理具有不同精神文化信仰和行为的患者时的有效性而提出的策略包括：提高对个人精神文化价值观和信仰的认识，了解不同宗教传统的知识，以及当影响护理的价值观和信仰发生冲突时与患者进行协商。
