“…This type of behavioral concept is of primary interest to nurse researchers (Morse, 2000) and best analyzed and/or appraised using a method that is congruent with its contextual nature. By contrast, several authors have analyzed the concept of nurse presence using other methods which are more congruent with positivist paradigms (Hessel, 2009;Hines, 1992;Tavernier, 2006) or just conducted concept analysis without a stated methodology or just as a literature review (Melnechenko, 2003;Zyblock, 2010). Significant analysis has been done with the concept of presence using metasyntheses either solely (Finfgeld-Connett, 2006;Minicucci, 1998), or to compare presence with other related concepts (Finfgeld-Connett, 2008a;FinfgeldConnett, 2008b;Fredriksson, 1999), or in collaboration with qualitative studies (Fuller, 1991).…”

A literature search was conducted using Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and other discipline-specific databases . Extensive manual review of all relevant journals, reference lists, and additional publications were explored and synthesized . This article provides an updated state of the science report on nursing presence in regard to cross-discipline conceptual comparison, nursing theoretic model development, and instrument development .

“…1984, p.57) -has long been recognised as being pivotal in the nurse-patient relationship and as an effective nursing intervention for helping to ameliorate the suffering and vulnerability of patients when hospitalised for care (Boeck, 2014;Hessel 2009;Osterman & Schwartz-Barcott, 1996;Zerwekh, 1997;Zyblock, 2010). Although a contested notion, it is generally agreed that both the value and act of being present rests on the ability of the nurse to create a space where the patient can be in deep contact with his or her own suffering, to allow the patient to share with a caring individual, and to assist the patient to find his or her own way forward through the health experience (Zyblock, 2010, p.120).…”

“…Thus, the caregivers are to take the initiative to activate their being in doing and utilize their personal spirituality to enable patients, families, and staff members to find meaning and purpose in their illness and/or distress and/or their current professional care, respectively (Baldacchino 2010c;Zyblock 2010). This process may generate positive attitudes and harmonious relationships at the workplace, irrespective of their culture and religious affiliation or the absence of religion (Reed 1992).…”

Spirituality involves a sense of connectedness, meaning making and transcendence. There is abundant published research that focuses on the importance of spirituality to patients and their families during times of illness and distress. However over the last decade there has also been a growing awareness about the importance of considering the need to address peoples' spiritual needs in the workplace. Engaging in ones own personal spirituality involves connecting with the inner self, becoming more self aware of ones humanity and limitations. Engaging with ones personal spirituality can also mean that people begin to greater find meaning and purpose in life and at work. This may be demonstrated in the workplace by collegial relationships and teamwork. Those who engage with their own spirituality also engage more easily with others through a connectedness with other staff and by aligning their values with the respective organization if they fit well with ones personal values. Workplace spirituality is oriented towards self-awareness of an inner life which gives meaning, purpose and nourishment to the employees' dynamic relationships at the workplace and is eventually also nourished by meaningful work. Exercising ones personal spirituality contributes towards generating workplace spirituality. Essentially acting from ones own personal spirituality framework by being in doing can contribute towards a person becoming a healing and therapeutic presence for others, that is nourishing in many workplaces. Personal spirituality in healthcare can be enhanced by: reflection in and on action; role-modeling; taking initiative for active presence in care; committing oneself to the spiritual dimension of care; and, integrating spirituality in health caregivers' education. As spirituality is recognized as becoming increasingly important for patients in healthcare, increasing educational opportunities are now becoming available for nurses internationally that could support personal and workplace spirituality.
