Methods: Data were collected from 24 nurses recruited from one acute-care hospital in a southern province of Korea. Six focus groups were assembled considering age and religion. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Five categories with 14 sub-categories emerged: 1) ambiguous concept: confusing terms, an additional job; 2) assessment of spiritual care needs: looking for spiritual care needs, not recognizing spiritual care needs; 3) spiritual care practices: active spiritual care, passive spiritual care ; 4) outcomes of spiritual care: comfort of the recipient, comfort of the provider; and 5) barriers to spiritual care: fear of criticism from others, lack of education, lack of time, space constraints, and absence of a recording system. Conclusion: Participants perceived spiritual care as an uncertain concept. Some participants recognized it as a form of nursing care, and others did not. They practiced spiritual care in acute-care settings according to their personal perceptions of spiritual care. Therefore, in order to perform spiritual nursing in acute-care hospitals, it is a priority for nurses to recognize the concept of spiritual nursing accurately. It is also necessary to prepare a hospital environment suitable for the provision of spiritual care.

연구 목적 : 이 논문은 소위 학교식 모델의 대안으로 부상하는 어린이영성교육의 특성과 방향성을 고찰함으로써, 기독교아동교육이 현재의 교회학교식 패러다임을 극복할 수 있는 대안적 가능성에 대한 통찰을 얻는 것을 목적으로 한다. 연구 내용 및 방법 : 본고는 두 부분으로 이루어지는데, 어린이영성교육의 특성과 그 특성을 구체화할 수 있는 방법들의 모색이 그것이다. 첫째, 어린이 영성교육은 어린이를 '영적 존재'로 보는 어린이영성 연구에 기반하여 어린이의 영성을 형성하는 것에 목표를 둔 "형성적" 모델이다. 이 모델은 특별히 '경험', '하나님만남', 그리고 '몰입'이라는 세 가지의 핵심 지향점을 갖는다. 즉 어린이영성교육은 '지식보다는 경험'을 추구하며, 하나님에 대해 3인칭적 지식을 가르치기보다는 2인칭으로 하나님을 만나는 경험을 추구하고, 그 무엇보다 몰입이라는 영성적 순간을 중시하는 교육이다. 둘째, 본고는 그러한 세 가지의 핵심 지향점들이 구현될 수 있는 구체적 통로와 방법들을 모색하였는바, '감각', '예전', 그리고 '이야기'가 그것이라는 것을 발견하였다. 감각은 경험을 불러일으키는 통로가 되며, 예전은 '하나님만남'의 자리가 되고, '이야기'는 '몰입'에의 핵심적 통로가 된다. 그리고 그 셋은 서로 유기적으로 결합될 때 어린이영성교육이 추구하는 지향점들을 통전적으로 수렴할 수 있다. 결론 및 제언 : 이상의 고찰을 통해 본고는 어린이영성교육 안에서 어린이 이해로부터 교육의 방법에 이르기까지 교육의 핵심가치와 방향성이 수미일관하게 유지되고 있는 것을 발견하였다. 그리고 이러한 발견으로부터 '무엇을 가르칠 것인가'보다는 '무엇을 경험하게 할 것인가', '가르침'보다는 '예전', '설명'보다는 '이야기', 그리고 '추상적' 지식보다는 '감각적' 경험을 중시하는 방향성은 단지 어린이영성교육에게만이 아니라 전인적 신앙교육을 지향하는 모든 이들이 공유해야할 기독교 아동교육의 방향이라는 통찰을 얻는다.
