Introduction: Spirituality in nursing is based on research findings that provide the basis for nursing practice. The aim of the study was to determine the number of scientific works published on the topic of spirituality in nursing in Slovenia and classify them according to research approach and content. Methods: A literature review was conducted using the COBIB.SI database, covering the period from 2005 to 2017. The search was conducted using keywords: 'spirituality', 'spiritual care', 'holistic approach', 'nursing', 'palliative care', 'bereavement', 'dying', 'spiritual health'. Content analysis method was used. Results: From the 367 identified publications, 11 scientific works were included in the final analysis. The content analysis method yielded the following three categories: (1) understanding the concept of spirituality and spiritual care and its significance for the patients, (2) perception of patients' spiritual needs and provision of spiritual care, (3) presentation of the potentials of the existential-phenomenological approach, which deepens the providers' self-understanding while caring for the spiritual needs of patients and their families. Discussion and conclusion: The research findings indicate that in the Slovene literature spirituality in nursing is a topic of interest. Most scientific publications, however, consider spirituality in relation to palliative care and the dying process. Nurses play an important role in the perception of patients' spiritual needs and can offer advice and support.
Uvod: Duhovnost v zdravstveni negi v svetu temelji na raziskavah, ki so podlaga za praktično delo medicinskih sester. Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti število objavljene znanstvene literature na temo duhovnosti v zdravstveni negi v slovenskem prostoru in jo proučiti glede na raziskovalni pristop in vsebinsko tematiko. Metode: Uporabljen je bil pregled znanstvene literature, objavljene od 2005 do 2017 v podatkovni bazi COBIB.SI. Iskanje je potekalo s ključnimi besedami: »duhovnost«, »duhovna oskrba«, »celostni pristop«, »zdravstvena nega«, »paliativna oskrba«, »žalovanje«, »umiranje«, »duhovno zdravje«. Uporabljena je bila metoda analize vsebine. Rezultati: Izmed 367 identificiranih objav je bilo v končno analizo vključenih 11 znanstvenih del. Z metodo analize vsebine so bile identificirane tri kategorije: (1) razumevanje pojma duhovnosti in duhovne oskrbe ter pripisovanje njunega pomena za paciente; (2) zaznavanje duhovnih potreb pacientov in izvajanje prakse duhovne oskrbe; (3) predstavitev potencialov eksistencialno-fenomenološkega pristopa, ki poglabljajo samorazumevanje spremljevalca pri spremljanju in duhovni podpori pacientov in njihovih svojcev. Diskusija in zaključek: Zanimanje za obravnavano temo je v domačem prostoru prisotno. V znanstvenih objavah je duhovnost najpogosteje obravnavana na področju paliativne oskrbe in umiranja. Medicinske sestre imajo pomembno vlogo pri zaznavanju in opozarjanju na duhovne potrebe pacientov ter nudenju podpore.
