This qualitative study sought to illuminate the perception among Muslim nurses in Kuwait of the role of Islamic values on their nursing practice.
Ethnography, specifically Leininger's small scale ethnonursing design, guided the study.
Eighteen male and female Muslim nurses from five countries, who were working as nurses in Kuwait, were interviewed. The interviews were transcribed and examined for themes.
Seven themes emerged (1) altruistic relationships as a core value; (2) all care as spiritual care; (3) desire for greater understanding and respect as nurses and as Muslims; (4) professional kinship that transcends culture, religion, and nationality; (5) nursing ethics from divine ethics; (6) religious teachings promoting health; (7) radical acceptance of God's will, balanced with hope of reward.
The centrality of the value altruism to nursing care from the Islamic perspective and the apparent seamless integration of care of the spirit with care of the body were significant findings consistent with the literature. The deep longing to be better understood, both as nurses and as Muslims, speaks to needed public education across the spectrum of religious belief and needed strengthening of professional kinship.
这项定性研究旨在阐明科威特穆斯林护士对伊斯兰价值观在其护理实践中所起作用的看法。
人种志，具体而言是莱宁格的小规模人种护理设计，指导了该研究。
对来自五个国家、在科威特担任护士的18名男女穆斯林护士进行了访谈。访谈内容被转录并进行主题分析。
出现了七个主题：（1）利他关系作为核心价值观；（2）所有护理皆为精神护理；（3）渴望作为护士和穆斯林得到更多理解与尊重；（4）超越文化、宗教和国籍的职业亲情；（5）源自神圣伦理的护理伦理；（6）促进健康的宗教教义；（7）对上帝旨意的彻底接受，并与对回报的希望相平衡。
从伊斯兰视角来看，利他主义价值观在护理中的核心地位以及精神护理与身体护理明显的无缝融合，是与文献一致的重要发现。作为护士和穆斯林，对被更好理解的深切渴望表明，需要在整个宗教信仰范围内开展公众教育，并加强职业亲情。
