Observations from research on the spiritual lives of persons caring for their spouses with dementia provide insight into the spirituality of caregivers. The author relates her personal journey of spirituality with findings from narratives of caregivers and the results of grace, joy, and trust. The lived experiences of caregivers who express faith in Jesus enable them to rest and love amid their caregiving. These insights can be useful when applied to nursing care and nursing education.
对照顾痴呆症配偶的人的精神生活进行研究的结果，为护理人员的灵性提供了一些启示。作者将自己的灵性之旅与护理人员的叙述和恩典、喜乐和信任的结果联系起来。表达对耶稣信仰的护理人员的生活经历使他们能够在护理中休息和关爱。当将这些见解应用于护理和护理教育时，它们可能会很有用。
