APPLICATION OF THE SPIRITUAL CARE MODEL TO THE NURSING PROCESS IN HEALTH SERVICES: LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Spiritual care is one part of the holistic needs nurses must provide patients in the health service process. Patients who are sick will generally experience distress, as indicated by crying, anxiety about their illness, and sleep disturbances. This study aims to determine various types of spiritual needs in health services and how effective standard interventions are to fulfill spiritual needs used by nurses. The method used is a literature review that focuses on spiritual interventions by nurses sourced from databases in the form of PubMed, Science Direct, and Google Scholar, published in 2018-2023. A review of the seven selected articles found that an effective spiritual intervention model is an intervention model that is provided by paying attention to intra-, inter-, and transpersonal aspects, which are fulfilled by a religious approach carried out in stages. These results conclude that the application of spiritual care to patients in health services is an important part of nursing intervention that must be carried out; this is very effective in building optimism and health well-being in patients.
