Research indicates that nurses do not consistently provide spiritual care, feel ill equipped to do so, and there is a lack of information as to the type of spiritual care practices nurses use. This exploratory descriptive study surveyed nurses (N = 123) about their spiritual care practices and perceptions of effectiveness, followed by qualitative interviews with volunteers (n = 5) from the surveyed group. The nurses favored spiritual interventions that are not overtly religious, but conveyed concern and support, such as listening and providing comforting touch.
研究表明，护士并非始终如一地提供精神关怀，感觉自己没有能力这样做，而且对于护士所采用的精神关怀实践类型缺乏相关信息。这项探索性描述性研究对123名护士进行了调查，询问他们的精神关怀实践以及对其有效性的看法，随后对调查对象中的5名志愿者进行了定性访谈。护士们倾向于采用那些并非明显宗教性的、但能传达关心和支持的精神干预措施，比如倾听和给予安慰性的触摸。
