To investigate spiritual caring by palliative care nurses and to describe their interventions.
Spirituality and spiritual caring are recognised as integral components of holistic nursing.
Qualitative data captured on a questionnaire were analysed thematically ( Braun and Clarke, 2006 ).
The study involved forty-two palliative care registered nurses working across seven palliative care services in Sydney, Australia. The research question was: 'What spiritual caring interventions do palliative care nurses use in their practice?' Nurses completed an open-ended questionnaire to identify and interpret their spiritual caring.
Three sub-theme categories and four major concepts of spiritual caring. Categories identified are: humanistic, pragmatic and religious interventions; while concepts of spiritual caring are: 'being with', 'listening to', 'facilitation of' and 'engaging in'.
A conceptual understanding of spiritual caring was identified.

精神性和精神关怀被认为是整体护理的重要组成部分。
对问卷收集的定性数据进行主题分析(布劳恩和克拉克,2006年)。
该研究涉及澳大利亚悉尼七家姑息治疗机构的42名注册姑息治疗护士。研究问题是:“姑息治疗护士在实践中使用了哪些精神关怀干预措施?”护士们完成了一份开放式问卷,以识别和阐释他们的精神关怀。
精神关怀有三个子主题类别和四个主要概念。确定的类别为:人文、务实和宗教干预措施;而精神关怀的概念为:“陪伴”、“倾听”、“促进”和“参与”。
确定了对精神关怀的概念性理解。
