In this article we examine the nurse's role in assessing the spiritual needs of older adults in long-term care. The spiritual needs of older adults have not been adequately addressed in nursing care planning, and this has diminished the quality of care for residents in long-term care facilities. Understanding spirituality as a coping mechanism or social support intervention for older adults would be helpful to nurses who provide care to geriatric residents. Based on the literature, several topics of significance are discussed, including definitions of spirituality and religion, cultural considerations, research on spirituality as a coping mechanism and social support intervention, spiritual assessment models, and nurses' use of spirituality and religion in planning holistic care for long-term residents.
在本文中，我们探讨了护士在评估长期护理机构中老年患者精神需求方面的作用。在护理计划中，老年患者的精神需求尚未得到充分关注，这降低了长期护理机构中居民的护理质量。将精神性理解为老年人的一种应对机制或社会支持干预措施，对为老年居民提供护理的护士会有所帮助。基于文献，我们讨论了几个重要主题，包括精神性和宗教的定义、文化考量、作为应对机制和社会支持干预措施的精神性研究、精神评估模型，以及护士在为长期居民规划整体护理时对精神性和宗教的运用。
