Spirituality: the missing link.
Comprehensive nursing care for the patient is a goal of nursing. Attending to the spiritual needs of a patient is an issue that nurses should identify as a need and yet may be overlooked. Research regarding spirituality and the reasons for nurses intervention or nonintervention are examined. Presented along with the research are methods, questions and interventions the practitioner may use at the bedside to enhance this area of their practice.
