Spirituality

Margaret A. Burkhardt, Mary Gail Nagai-Jacobson

While focusing on the care and recovery of their patients, heath care professionals often overlook an important, but unseen, aspect of that care: Spirituality. Spirituality: Living our Connections, part of Delmar's Healer Series, is the first book of its kind to address this issue. The authors demonstrate ways that health care professionals, such as nurses, can nurture their own spirituality and recognize spiritual occurrences in everyday life in order to more effectively assess the spiritual needs and concerns of their patients. Methods of heightening spirituality, such as self-nurture exercises, story-telling, and reflections are included throughtout the book to guide readers on their journey. -- Cover.
