title: Promoting spirituality in persons with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome: a nursing intervention.
abstract: Holistic care addresses the physical, psychologic, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of the patient. The spiritual dimension, however, is frequently overlooked by health care providers. The development of spiritual well-being is crucial in helping the person with AIDS find meaning in life and death. Assessing spiritual needs of persons with AIDS and promoting their spirituality are important nursing roles.
