Although there is recognition of the importance of spirituality in the nursing literature and in nursing theory, many nurses find it difficult to talk about this sensitive area with people for whom they provide care. In this article, the authors discuss why spirituality is integral to nursing care and explore why nurses don't talk about spiritual concerns with their clients. The authors examine the meaning of spirituality and the factors that contribute to the reluctance of nurses to discuss spirituality with others: not having the right words, lack of education, a view that spiritual care is someone else's responsibility, influences of secularism and diversity in society, and the current health-care context. Openness to learning about the spiritual beliefs of individuals and attending to their nursing needs in a holistic way will enhance nursing care.
尽管护理文献和护理理论中都认识到灵性的重要性，但许多护士发现很难与他们所护理的人谈论这个敏感领域。在本文中，作者讨论了为什么灵性是护理的组成部分，并探讨了护士不与患者谈论灵性问题的原因。作者审视了灵性的含义以及导致护士不愿与他人讨论灵性的因素：没有合适的言辞、缺乏教育、认为灵性护理是他人的责任、世俗主义和社会多样性的影响以及当前的医疗保健环境。愿意了解个人的灵性信仰并以整体方式关注他们的护理需求将提高护理质量。
