Objective: The nature of cancer increases the spiritual needs of patients and necessitates the provision of holistic care for them. By trying to meet the spiritual needs of patients, oncology nurses can help them adapt, gain inner peace, and develop positive thoughts and attitudes. This study aimed to explore the consequences of spiritual care for cancer patients and oncology nurses from the perspective of the patients, family members, nurses, and other health-care team members. Methods: The present qualitative study was conducted using conventional content analysis in 2016–2017. The data were collected through semi-structured deep interviews of the 18 participants. Results: The theme extracted from the data was “spiritual growth” and comprised the major categories of “nurse's spiritual development” and “patient's spiritual development.” There were three subcategories in the nurse's spiritual development and 11 subcategories in the patient's spiritual development. Conclusions: Spiritual care places the cancer patient and the oncology nurse on the path to spiritual growth. The achievement of peace by the patient and the nurse was a common consequence of spiritual care. It helps the nurse promote comfort and a sense of peace in the patient and eventually to obtain inner satisfaction. Considering the transcendental effects of spiritual care, a systematic plan should be devised to enhance sensitivity in oncology nurses and encourage them to make spiritual care a component of interventional plans.

Introduction: The provision of care according to the code of ethics is of the highest priority in operating rooms (OR). However, the exposure of the surgical team to a high level of stress may result in unethical behavior and undermine their pursuit of excellence. Since the concept of excellence is complex and there are limited published studies in the nursing literature, there was a need for in-depth research. Objective: The present study aimed at evaluating the perspective and experience of OR nurses with the concept of excellence. Study Design: The conventional qualitative content analysis method was employed to explore the concept of excellence among OR nurses. Participants and Research Environment: The current study was conducted on 20 OR nurses in the elective and emergency operating rooms of hospitals affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. The data were collected through in-depth semi-structured face-to-face interviews and field notes from April 2017 to June 2018. Findings: The four categories extracted from the interview data were "enhanced personality traits", "growth and development", "knowledge enhancement", and "effective teamwork". In addition, a total of 10 sub-categories were extracted. Discussion: The findings of the present study indicated that OR nurses can achieve personal, professional, organizational, and social excellence through enhancing personality traits, peer learning, teaching ethics to the surgical team members, and educating and training patients and family caregivers through effective teamwork. A close collaboration between OR nurses and nursing managers would develop a culture of pursuit for excellence. Conclusion: The findings of the present study provided a better understanding of the perception of OR nurses with the concept of excellence; based on which, optimal ethical care and an environment for the pursuit of excellence can be developed. The findings also provided evidencebased recommendations to nursing managers on how to gain the trust of patients and family caregivers, and promote the pursuit of personal, professional, organizational, and social excellence.

“…Spirituality includes considering a set of values, attitudes, and hopes that connect an individual to a higher being through health, feeling well, recovery, and belonging to the community 7,21 . Creating a theoretical applied, the spiritual framework is necessary for applying spirituality in research 8 . Likewise, nurse researchers can integrate spirituality into their knowledge and research in addition to their nursing practice, such that, while avoiding emotions in the selection of research topics, research should also move toward emotions based on spirituality and closer to intellectuality 8,22 …”

Concept analysis of the Four‐Season‐Symphony of Intellectuality–Spirituality–Ethics–Esthetics (FSS: I SEA) in nursing research

Background The Four‐Season‐Symphony of intellectuality, spirituality, ethics, and esthetics (FSS: I SEA) in nursing research is a new concept that has not been addressed in previous nursing theories and studies. Aim This study was conducted to clarify the concept of the FSS: I SEA in nursing research. Design Wilson's method of concept analysis was used. Data Source Empirical and conceptual literature. Review Method This study has been conducted based on Wilson's 11‐step approach by searching keywords with Symphony, Rationality, Intellectuality, Spirituality, Ethics, Esthetics, and Nursing research in databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, Sid, Oxford Dictionary, Dehkhoda Dictionary, and nursing theory textbook. Results and Conclusion Richness and elegance of the symphony in nursing research cannot be achieved by a single‐tool benchmark; rather, a more integrated assessment can be achieved with the use of a tool combining different intellectuality, spirituality, ethics, and esthetics tools. This symphony contains a philosophical and deep understanding of the meanings of researcher, research problem, research process, and symphonic product. Through identifying the facilitators and barriers of this concept, nursing researchers, professors, and practitioners will be able to design and implement their research activities on FSS basis to pave the way for the continued transcendence of comprehensive nursing care.
