Abstract
Spiritual care is increasingly being recognised as an essential component of healthcare practice. People with life-limiting illness and those who are recently bereaved are particularly likely to require this type of care. This article identifies some of the practical ways in which nurses can identify, support and assist people to meet their spiritual care needs.
