The concept of spirituality has gained increasing attention over the last decade, as evidenced by the number of conceptual and empirical articles published. Many recommend that continued theory development is essential to understand spirituality and guide practice. The aim of this article is to review the nursing research on spirituality and conduct a concept analysis using Chinn and Kramer's method of creating conceptual meaning. A definition of spirituality is presented, and a model constructed from a review of the literature and reflection. Spirituality is defined as: that most human of experiences that seeks to transcend self and find meaning and purpose through connection with others, nature, and/or a Supreme Being, which may or may not involve religious structures or traditions.
在过去十年中，灵性的概念越来越受到关注，发表的概念性和实证性文章数量就是明证。许多人建议，持续的理论发展对于理解灵性和指导实践至关重要。本文的目的是回顾关于灵性的护理研究，并使用钦和克莱默创造概念意义的方法进行概念分析。给出了灵性的定义，并通过文献回顾和反思构建了一个模型。灵性被定义为：那种最具人性的体验，即试图超越自我，通过与他人、自然和/或至高存在建立联系来寻找意义和目的，这可能涉及也可能不涉及宗教结构或传统。
