Abstract

Spiritual care is at the center of hospice and palliative care. Patients facing serious and life-threatening illness have important needs in regard to faith, hope, and existential concerns. The purpose of this article is to review the key aspects of this care, including the definitions of spirituality, spiritual assessment, and spiritual care interventions. A review of the current literature was conducted to identify content related to spiritual care in hospice and palliative care. A growing body of evidence supports the importance of spiritual care as a key domain of quality palliative care. The literature supports the importance of spiritual assessment as a key aspect of comprehensive patient and family assessment. Spirituality encompasses religious concerns as well as other existential issues. Future research and clinical practice should test models of best support to provide spiritual care.

영적간호는 호스피스 완화의료의 중심에 있다. 심각하고 생명을 위협하는 질병에 직면한 환자는 신앙, 희망 및 실존적 관심과 관련하여 중요한 요구를 가지고 있다. 이 논문의 목적은 영성, 영적 평가 및 영적간호 중재의 정의를 포함하여 이러한 간호의 핵심 측면들을 검토하는 것이다. 호스피스 완화의료에서 영적간호와 관련된 내용을 파악하기 위해 현재의 문헌 자료들을 조사했다. 점점 더 많은 증거들이 양질의 완화의료의 핵심 영역으로서 영적간호의 중요성을 뒷받침하고 있다. 문헌은 포괄적인 환자 및 가족 평가의 핵심 측면으로서 영적 평가의 중요성을 뒷받침한다. 영성은 다른 실존적 문제들뿐만 아니라 종교적인 관심도 포함한다. 향후 연구 및 임상시험은 영적간호를 제공하기 위한 최선의 지원 모델을 검증해야 한다.
