The premise of this article is that nurses are healers, primarily through the caring relationships they form with patients. Caring calls out an individual's inner strengths. These strengths include spiritual resources which support integration or wholeness of body, mind and spirit. Many nurses are unsure about giving spiritual care. This author encourages nurses to reflect on their own spirituality and learn spiritual care skills. By addressing the spiritual dimension in patient care, nurses can truly be holistic practitioners and positively affect the mental and physical health of their patients.
本文的前提是，护士是治疗者，主要是通过他们与患者建立的关爱关系。关爱激发个体的内在力量。这些力量包括支持身体、心理和精神整合或整体性的精神资源。许多护士不确定如何提供精神关怀。本文作者鼓励护士反思自己的精神信仰并学习精神关怀技能。通过在患者护理中关注精神层面，护士能够真正成为全面的从业者，并对患者的身心健康产生积极影响。
