Riassunto

Spirituality and Coping with Loss: End of Life Healthcare Practice describes a research study that reflects nurses’ experience of the nature of loss encountered in end of life care settings as well as the ways in which spirituality is a resource in coping in these situations. Key findings indicate how nurses’ spiritual development impacts their proficiency in spiritual care. These findings will be of interest to nurses and nurse educators as well as other healthcare professionals.

Recensione:

"Discussion highlights are the use of the phenomenology method for addressing spirituality; a particularly enlightening historical review about spirituality within the profession of nursing, beginning with religious nursing orders up to the present day; and an engaging, comprehensive literature review of the many facets of spirituality. The heart of Greenstreet's book addresses the study's findings: nurses' individual spiritual development influences their own ability with spiritual care. Nurses not only provide spiritual care, but also need it to keep themselves restored and spiritually whole. This book is recommended for nursing educators, practitioners, and students."
