The influence of religious beliefs and practices at the end of life is underinvestigated. Given nursing's advocacy role and the intimate and personal nature of the dimensions of religiosity and the end of life, exploring the multidimensional interplay of religiosity and end-of-life care is a significant aspect of the nurse-patient relationship and must be better understood. The question that must be faced is whether nurses' own belief systems impinge on or influence patient care, especially for patients who are at the end of life. When nurses understand their own beliefs and respect the religious practices and needs of patients and their families, it deepens the humanistic dimensions of the nurse-patient relationship.
宗教信仰及习俗在生命末期的影响尚未得到充分研究。鉴于护理工作的倡导作用以及宗教信仰维度与生命末期的亲密和个人性质，探索宗教信仰与临终关怀的多维度相互作用是护患关系的一个重要方面，必须得到更好的理解。必须面对的问题是，护士自身的信仰体系是否会对患者护理产生影响，尤其是对生命末期的患者。当护士理解自己的信仰并尊重患者及其家属的宗教习俗和需求时，这会加深护患关系的人文维度。
