Spirituality and Spiritual Care in Nursing Education and Practice
Webinar Details
Spiritual care, broadly defined as care of a person’s inner spirit, is important for all nurses to understand and implement in practice. Research demonstrates that strengthening the inner spirit in turn influences the mind and body toward healing. This webinar focuses on the four areas defining what spirituality is and how it intersects with health. Spiritual care is also described, using the acronym PLAY, along with discussion on how to facilitate such care. Finally, the most effective ways to train both students and working nurses are addressed, and everyone is reminded that learning about spiritual care is a life-long journey.
Outcomes:
By the end of this session, viewers will be able to:
- Define the four main aspects of the spiritual domain
