Nurse theorists have addressed the primacy of the phenomenon of caring, aiming at providing a framework that captures the complex nature of caring. Several theorists emphasized the mechanical facet of care while others emphasized the holistic aspect of care. Spirituality as a central concept in caring theories was targeted in this manuscript; as it a fundamental aspect of holistic care. Watson's Human Caring Science Theory and Lovering's Crescent of Care Nursing Model represent two distinctive approaches to caring in the dimension of spirituality. A compare/contrast approach is used to depict the similarities and differences between both works, focusing on spirituality as a common concept. The outcome of the comparison showed that spirituality is a multidimensional metaphysical concept that both theorists had identified as an indispensable core aspect of holistic nursing and is context-bound in terms of its dimensions, applications, and meaningfulness.
护理理论家已经解决了关怀现象的首要地位问题，旨在提供一个框架，以捕捉关怀的复杂本质。一些理论家强调关怀的机械方面，而另一些理论家则强调关怀的整体方面。本文以关怀理论中的灵性作为一个核心概念为研究对象；因为它是整体关怀的一个基本方面。沃森的人类关怀科学理论和洛弗林的关怀护理模式代表了灵性维度中两种不同的关怀方法。采用比较/对比的方法来描述这两个作品之间的异同，重点关注灵性这一共性概念。比较的结果表明，灵性是一个多维度的形而上学概念，两位理论家都认为它是整体护理不可或缺的核心方面，并且在其维度、应用和意义方面都是有背景限制的。
