“…Interest in spirituality and spiritual care has increased in recent years, and a growing amount of literature reveals that it is seen in the nursing profession as important to patient health and healing (Hvidt et al, 2020;Weathers et al, 2016) but that it is still not well understood or frequently practiced (Chen et al, 2020;McSherry, 2020). While there has been a significant amount of spiritual care research in palliative care nursing (Nolan et al, 2011;Tan Jr., 2019) and in the chaplaincy literature (Poncin et al, 2019), limited research has been identified addressing spiritual issues in the acute care setting (Cone & Giske, 2017;Giske & Cone, 2015), nursing homes (Dewittea et al, 2021;Gordon et al, 2020), mental health (Holmberg et al, 2021;Patterson et al, 2018), paediatrics (Fazlollahi et al, 2022) or from the patient perspective (Best et al, 2022;Cone & Giske, 2017).…”
