Opening up to learning spiritual care of patients: a grounded theory study of nursing students

Aim. To determine undergraduate nursing students’ perspectives on spiritual care and how they learn to assess and provide spiritual care to patients. Background. Nursing is concerned with holistic care. Systematic teaching and supervision of students to prepare them to assist patients spiritually is a growing focus. However, there is limited consensus about the competences students need to develop and little is written related to students learning processes. Design. Grounded theory was used to identify students’ main concern and develop a substantive grounded theory. Method. Data collected during semi‐structured interviews at three Norwegian University Colleges in eight focus groups with 42 undergraduate nursing students were analysed through constant comparison of transcribed interviews until categories were saturated. Results. The participants’ main concern was ‘How to create a professional relationship with patients and maintain rapport when spiritual concerns were recognised’. Participants resolved this by ‘Opening up to learning spiritual care’. This basic social process has three iterative phases that develop as a spiral throughout the nursing programme: ‘Preparing for connection’, ‘Connecting with and supporting patients’ and ‘Reflecting on experiences’. Conclusion. Nurses need a wide range of competences to fulfil the nursing focus on holistic patient care. Nursing education should prepare students to recognise and act on spiritual cues. A trusting relationship and respectful and sensitive communication assist students to discover what is important to patients. An educational focus on spiritual and existential themes throughout the nursing programme will assist students to integrate theoretical learning into clinical practice. Relevance to clinical practice. Study participants reported seeing few role models in clinical settings. Making spiritual assessment and interventions more visible and explicit would facilitate student learning in clinical practice. Evaluative discussions in clinical settings that include spiritual concerns will enhance holistic care.

Creating conditions for good nursing by attending to the spiritual Aim To note similarities, differences, and gaps in the literature on good nursing and spiritual care. Background Good nursing care is essential for meeting patient health needs. With growing recognition of the role of spirituality in health, understanding spiritual care as it relates to good nursing is important, especially as spiritual care has been recognized as the most neglected area of nursing care. Methods Nursing research, reports and discussion articles from a variety of countries were reviewed on the topics of good nursing, spiritual care and spirituality. Key issues A nurse’s spirituality and the nurse–patient relationship are integral to spiritual care and good nursing. Conclusions There are many commonalities between good nursing and spiritual care. Personal attributes of the nurse are described in similar terms in research on spiritual care and good nursing. Professional attributes common to good nursing and spiritual care are the nurse–patient relationship, assessment skills and communication skills. Implications for nursing management Good nursing through spiritual care is facilitated by personal spirituality, training in spiritual care and a culture that implements changes supportive of spiritual care. Further research is needed to address limitations in the scope of literature.     

A Lesson in Spirituality

Understanding spirituality during palliative care training is not easy. It slowly unravels itself when one starts caring for patients and meeting their caregivers. One such experience in the hospice has been described in this narrative. A person with advanced incurable cancer is initially in severe distress. Over time, he slowly comes to terms with the situation and eventually, a question from his illiterate wife—an insightful question about any last wish—brings out his desire to have certain religious rituals that were alien to his own religion. After his death, the family members concur with his last wish and also indulge in some religious rituals of their own choice. This story reaffirms that the essence of spirituality is the coexistence of harmony and humanity.     

Interprofessional education in palliative care: A pilot project using popular literature

Summary

A need to introduce the concepts of death and dying to the medical and health sciences undergraduate curriculum was identified at the University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. As care of the terminally ill is complex and requires the collaborative involvement of a diverse group of health care professionals, an interprofessional educational approach was utilized to address this need. A seminar course was developed using popular literature as the basis for learning, and offered to first and second year medical students, fourth year nursing students and graduate students in spiritual care. The discussion of roles and the provision of care within the context of works of selected literature provided a focus that enabled the students to transcend their disciplinary barriers, and to better understand the perspectives and contributions that other team members bring to patient care. Evaluation findings suggest that meaningful interprofessional education can be introduced effectively to students either prior to or while they are maturing in their professional roles.     

Evaluating Hispanic/Latino Programs

SUMMARY

This article will provide a summary of existing information related to the evaluation of alcohol and other drug (AODA) treatment and prevention programs for Hispanics/Latinos. In addition, the authors provide an overview of recent survey data which examined actual evaluation practices in a national sample of federally funded substance abuse prevention projects targeting Hispanic/ Latino high risk youth and families.     

Videotaping in Groups for Children of Substance Abusers:

This paper describes the use of a videotaping technique in groups of young children of substance abusers. The technique has been found to be particularly useful in working with very emotionally disturbed, acting out children. Use of video can be incorporated into the group at different stages in order to help children understand facts about alcoholism or other substance abuse, develop strategies for coping, and to help understand the roles which family members take in response to substance abuse. Vignettes of actual videotapes produced by children in the groups are presented. A strategic/systemic analysis of shame-based families is advanced to explain the efficacy of the videotaping method with deeply disturbed children. Considerations for the development of this technique are presented, including the question of involvement of parents.
