The Nurse’s Handbook of Spiritual Care The Nurse’s Handbook of Spiritual Care helps nurses develop a high level of competence in spiritual and existential care as an important part of holistic nursing.

Every patient and situation a nurse encounters is unique, and spiritual relationships can be expressed and met in a variety of ways. This handbook covers the fundamentals of spiritual care, written to inspire and challenge the reader. It provides a space for reflection and encourages lifelong learning. The authors present a new teaching-learning theory—the learning spiral—to enable and empower readers to ‘tune in’ to patients and work to soothe spiritual suffering and existential pain, ultimately facilitating patient well-being.

Sample topics covered in The Nurse’s Handbook of Spiritual Care include:



What is spiritual care, the spiritual as part of whole person care including existential challenges, value based matters, and religious considerations and practices
Exercises to get better acquainted with yourself, such as working with your own view of life and personal story, and how to prepare yourself to go outside your comfort zone
Spiritual care skills and competencies, features and qualifications of the helper, and moving from student to lifelong learning as a nurse
