ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the nurse care for the spiritual hospitalized elderly’s dimension. Method: a qualitative study, based on Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring. The study included 17 nurses working in a geriatric center in Salvador City, Bahia State, Brazil. The collection of testimonies occurred between January and April of 2018, through an interview. Results: spiritual care were dialogue, encouragement and respect for religious activities, embracement, empathy. One of the obstacles to providing this care was the lack of preparation in accessing the elderly’s spiritual dimension. Final considerations: spirituality is a dimension of human and holistic nursing care. Caring for the spirit contributes to foster transpersonal care. The difficulty may be in the lack of nurses’ preparation. It is necessary that they cultivate and live their own spirituality, transmitting the understanding in each care relationship.

Spiritual care is an important component of holistic nursing care. To implement spiritual care, the nurse must assess, diagnose, and respond to the needs of each patient and her or his significant others. Meeting the spiritual care needs of the patient can lead to physical healing, reduction of pain, and personal growth. Nurses providing spiritual care experience lower stress and less burnout.

Spiritual care is an important part of nursing care. Spiritual care has a therapeutic effect on patients’ recovery, so it is important to know exactly what spiritual care is. It is aimed to clarify spirituality concept and to determine the scope of use in nursing literature. Antecedents of spirituality are determined as trust, hope, love, values, and need to find purpose for life. Consequences are motivation, improved life quality, and coping with difficulties. Ensuring that the meaning of this concept is handled in all dimensions will be a guide for giving holistic nursing care and can help to prevent misconceptions.

Abstract Background Considerable attention has been drawn to empathy in nursing and the concept of empathy has firmly been embedded in nursing discourse. However, little has been known about the details of how nurses express empathy to their patients. In this study, we aim to conduct a qualitative study of actual nurse-patient conversations through which empathy was achieved. Methods The data in this study was based on audio-recording of sessions of conversations between participating nurses and patients in two Chinese hospitals. The participants in this study involved 6 female nurses and 14 patients. Based on Bachelor’s (1988) categorization of empathy, this study described and analyzed the actual empathic sequences in nursing conversations in an attempt to demonstrate how nursing empathy was interactionally achieved using the method of conversation analysis. Conversation analysis (CA), focusing on the study of talk in interaction, is a useful method for the qualitative analysis of empathic talk in nursing. Results By drawing on prior theoretical work as well as on empathic sequence in nursing, this study described and analyzed some of the conversational resources nurses and patients used in achieving empathy. It has been shown that empathy can be interactionally and sequentially achieved in actual sequences of talk. Specifically, nursing empathy is a collaboratively constructed action instead of the nurse’s own committed action, which is produced in specific interactional contexts. Conclusion Conversation analysis is a very useful method for describing and analyzing the nurse-patient interaction, especially for studying empathy in nursing care. The sequences in this study present example of exemplary empathic interaction between nurses and patients, which might shed some light on how nurses express empathy to their patients. Also, this study could help to increase the understanding of the mirco-process of empathy in nursing and contribute to improving nursing communicative skills.
