Although evidence exists to suggest an integral influence of one's spirit on one's mental health, few nurse theoreticians have attempted to delineate and include the concept of spirituality in their nursing models. In making practice decisions related to spiritual matters, mental health nurses require knowledge about the interface between spirituality and mental health. Many symptoms of depression, the most common mental health problem of older adults, parallel indications of spiritual distress. The author presents a spiritual well-being model that provides a framework to discuss the antecedents, symptoms, spiritual needs, and holistic treatment of depression as it is experienced by older women.
尽管有证据表明一个人的精神对其心理健康有不可或缺的影响，但很少有护理理论家试图在其护理模式中界定并纳入精神性的概念。在做出与精神问题相关的实践决策时，心理健康护士需要了解精神性与心理健康之间的联系。抑郁症是老年人最常见的心理健康问题，其许多症状与精神困扰的表现相似。作者提出了一个精神健康模型，该模型提供了一个框架，用以讨论老年女性所经历的抑郁症的成因、症状、精神需求及整体治疗。
