“…Nurses repeatedly recognize therapeutic conversation, empathic listening, and facilitation of client articulation of spiritual beliefs and outlook as important aspects of spiritual care. [47] Communication is a central part of spiritual communications, while nurses identify numerous other 'interventions' in their collection of spiritual care therapeutics. [48] The range of spiritual interventions also includes mindfulness and related cognitive therapies, reflective reading, art, music, opportunities for prayer and religious worship, and referral for specialist help from chaplaincy services.…”

Since Florence Nightingale, spiritual care has been embraced in professional nursing as the integration and promotion of purpose and meaning in life. Research reports that nurses have a prominent regard for spiritual care and acknowledge that it is part of their role. The intention of this literature review is to explore effective ways for nursing faculty to teach spiritual care. This in turn will help to advance spiritually educated nurses who can rise above obstacles to providing spiritual care to clients. During the nursing formation process, spiritual care must be integrated into the nursing curricula throughout the didactic and clinical nursing education. Numerous nurses today consider themselves underprepared to meet the spiritual needs of their clients, despite nursing's past dedication to spiritual care. Research further supports the appeal of clients to have their spiritual needs addressed while hospitalized. Given the suitable resources and education, nurses can be positioned to address the spiritual care of clients. Relevant nursing education on more effective ways to teach spiritual care will enhance the delivery of this vital aspect of holistic nursing. The focus of holistic patient care is based on the Neuman systems model, where the spiritual variable considerations are necessary for a truly holistic perspective and caring concern for the patient. As part of a successful pedagogy, a course of action and theory-based approach must be translated into preparing student nurses to incorporate spiritual care into their emerging practices.

“…It is paramount for the profession to deliver holistic nursing care to this evolutionary and transcendent unique being. Although this objective is directed at qualitative approaches, the construct needs to be measured objectively as well, with a view to establishing care and interventions (17) . (18) and centered on their professed religion (2) instead of their existential perspective (19) .…”

The aim of this methodological study was to translate, culturally adapt and assess the internal consistency and validity of the Spanish version of the "Spirituality Questionnaire". The sample comprised 204 young people between 18 and 25 years of age from two universities in Bogotá.Cronbach's Alpha was used for reliability, while groups of experts and young people were used for construct validity. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used for construct validity.The reliability score of the total instrument was 0.88. The overall index of content validity corresponded to 0.90. Exploratory factor analysis showed that four factors explain 52.60% of the variance. The originally proposed theoretical model was confirmed and, in two dimensions, a different structure was proposed. In conclusion, the instrument "Spirituality Questionnaire" by Parsian and Dunning is reliable and valid in the Spanish version.Descriptors: Spirituality; Questionnaires; Validity of Tests; Young Adult. 1 This research was supported by Division de Investigacion de la Sede Bogotá de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia (DIB 11921).Paper extracted from Doctoral Dissertation "Autotrascendencia espiritualidad y bienestar en adultos emergentes universitarios no consumidores y consumidores moderados de alcohol, aportes desde la promoción de la salud" presented to Universidad Nacional de Colombia.

Similarly, it has been described as a protective factor against alcohol abuse in the young adult population (6)(7)(8) . It is important to appoint that, in research, spirituality has been addressed from two perspectives. The first focuses on religion, religiosity and religious practices and commitments. The second approach reconstructs spirituality in a perspective that adopts a broader view of God, including the values and principles that gives meaning and purpose to life (9) .In the later, an instrument is available, developed in Australia, which focuses on the spirituality concept based on the internal identity, the meaning of life and young people's connection with themselves and with a higher ...

“…As a result of wounding, the individual has problems with physical image and self-confidence as well as loss of feeling, mobility and reflex. In these case; the spiritual dimension, which creates emotional stress, challenges his/her values and beliefs on physical illness and death, which causes the patient to begin a course of questioning life and eternity, which makes him/her insufficient to find the meaning of life, the sources of hope, power and dependence, becomes more important [3,5,9,10]. In this context, neurosurgery nurses should certainly include the diagnoses of ¨spiritual distress¨, ¨spiritual distress risk¨ and ¨readiness for improving the state of spiritual wellness¨, which are mentioned in nursing definitions by North American Nursing Diagnosis Associations (NANDA), within their care plans.…”

“…Nurses should have enough knowledge on the dimensions of spirituality and should be aware of his/her own spiritual values and beliefs so as to provide spiritual care regarding holistic care approach. It causes to underestimate the importance of issue and makes holistic care insufficient for its purpose to ignore the significance of nurses' spiritual care, to let the lack of its involvement in care, to confuse religion with spirituality, to have no expectation of spiritual care provided by nurses or to consider it as a non-scientific approach [3].…”

“…Holistic nursing care is composed of a multidimensional structure including medical, moral, spiritual and religious aspects. In a study by McEwen however, it is stated that although some theoreticians define and accept spiritual necessities in holistic care concept, many others neglect that term [3]. In a study by Yılmaz and Okyay [4] on 621 nurses, it is noted that the neglection of the concept by many theoreticians should be one of the reasons that spiriutal needs are insufficiently considered in nursing education [5].…”

Nursing means trying to understand the man both in wellness and illness, from his/her birth to death, is to consider the human existence as a whole and is to know him/her with all aspects. Helping the patient to conserve, sustain and obtain all these described features make up the core elements of good nursing care. An individul is a whole of physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual dimensions and each of them is interrelated and interdependent to others. It is crucial for the patient to be treated not only for the remediation of the organ but also to be approached spiritually in holistic approach. This study aims to discuss the spiritual dimension for traumatic patients and to draw attention to the importance of serving holistic nursing care.
