Spirituality is one aspect of the human experience that is unique to each person and may become especially important in the face of life-threatening illness. While evidence supports the need to address spirituality as part of holistic palliative care nursing, it is hoped that "spiritual care" will not become another item on nurses' to-do list, but rather will be part of nurses' everyday lives and nursing practice. Taking time to assess personal needs, and consciously connecting to meaning, hope, and peace, can support nurses' return to the deeper roots of nursing. Addressing spirituality as part of palliative nursing care can also acknowledge the complex and multidimensional experiences of the patients that nurses serve. Connecting, or reconnecting, with nurses' unique sense of spirituality can serve as a powerful resource for resilience. This article highlights the relevance of spiritual care to palliative nursing and offers practical tips to incorporate spiritual care into everyday nursing practice.
灵性是人类体验的一个独特方面，每个人都是独特的，并且在面对危及生命的疾病时可能变得尤为重要。虽然有证据支持需要将灵性作为整体姑息治疗护理的一部分来解决，但希望“精神关怀”不会成为护士待办事项清单上的另一个项目，而是成为护士日常生活和护理实践的一部分。花时间评估个人需求，并有意识地与意义、希望和平安建立联系，可以支持护士回归护理的更深层次根源。将灵性作为姑息护理的一部分，可以承认护士所服务的患者的复杂和多维体验。与护士独特的灵性感联系起来，或者重新建立联系，可以作为韧性的强大资源。本文强调了精神关怀对姑息护理的相关性，并提供了将精神关怀纳入日常护理实践的实用技巧。
