Lighting the Lamp: The Spiritual Dimension of Nursing Care Spirituality plays a major, if ill-defined, role in the motivation to deliver high quality professional nursing care, yet the subject is hardly recognised and rarely discussed. The results of years of research, Lighting the Lamp: The Spiritual Dimension of Nursing Care discusses the history and theology of spirituality and guides the reader through the myths and misconceptions surrounding the subject, demonstrating how current practice can benefit from the practical application of spiritual concepts.
