Nursing Interventions and Rationales
1. Observe client for self-esteem, self-worth, feelings of futility, or hopelessness.
Verbalization of feelings of low self-esteem, low self-worth, and hopelessness may indicate a spiritual need.
2. Monitor support systems. Be aware of own belief systems and accept client's spirituality.
To effectively help a client with spiritual needs, an understanding of one's own spiritual dimension is essential (Highfield, Carson, 1983).
3. Be physically present and available to help client determine religious and spiritual choices.
Physical presence can decrease separation and aloneness, which clients often fear (Dossey et al, 1988). This study showed an overwhelming response that client's faith and trust in nurses produces a positive effect on client and family. Spiritual care interventions promote a sense of well-being (Narayanasamy, Owens, 2001).
4. Provide quiet time for meditation, prayer, and relaxation.
Clients need time to be alone during times of health change.
5. Help client make a list of important and unimportant values.
The number one need expressed by clients who had been hospitalized, which was expressed by persons of all denominations and faiths, was for their pastor/rabbi/spiritual advisor to not abandon them. For those who did not belong to a religious/spiritual group, their number one need was to at least be asked for some type of religious/spiritual preference (Moller, 1999). Clients are experts on their own paths, and knowing their values helps in exploring their uniqueness (Dossey et al, 1988).
6. Ask how to be most helpful, then actively listen, reflect, and seek clarification.
Listening attentively and being physically present can be spiritually nourishing (Berggren-Thomas, Griggs, 1995). Obtain permission from the client to respond to spiritual needs from own spiritual perspective (Smucker, 1996).
7. If client is comfortable with touch, hold client's hand or place hand gently on arm. Touch makes nonverbal communication more personal.
8. Help client develop and accomplish short-term goals and tasks.
Accomplishing goals increases self-esteem, which may be related to the client's spiritual well-being.
9. Help client find a reason for living and be available for support.
"The need for a positive attitude for optimum healing was by far the most commonly mentioned subtheme by these participants and the strongest area of literature" (Criddle, 1993).
10. Listen to client's feelings about death. Be nonjudgmental and allow time for grieving
All grief work takes time and is unique. Acceptance of client differences is essential to open communication.
11. Help client develop skills to deal with illness or lifestyle changes. Include client in planning of care.
Clients perceived the experience of healing as an active process and expressed a desire to take conscious control (Criddle, 1993).
12. Provide appropriate religious materials, artifacts, or music as requested.
Helping a client incorporate rituals, sacraments, reading, music, imagery, and meditation into daily life can enhance spiritual health (Conrad, 1985).
13. Provide privacy for client to pray with others or to be read to by members of own faith.
Privacy shows respect for and sensitivity to the client.
14. See care plan for Readiness for enhanced Spiritual well-being.
Geriatric
1. Assist client with a life review and help client identify noteworthy experiences.
2. Discuss personal definitions of spiritual wellness with client.
Listening attentively and helping elderly clients identify past coping strategies is part of helping with life review and finding meaning in life (Berggren-Thomas, Griggs, 1995).
3. Identify client's past sources of spirituality. Help client explore his or her life and identify those experiences that are noteworthy. Client may want to read the Bible or have it read to them.
Older adults often identify spirituality as a source of hope (Gaskins, Forte, 1995).
4. Discuss the client's perception of God in relation to the illness.
Different religions view illness from different perspectives.
5. Offer to pray with client or caregivers.
Prayer was described as an important part of spirituality by caregivers (Kaye, Robinson, 1994).
6. Offer to read from the Bible or other book chosen by client.
A religious ritual may comfort the client.
Multicultural
1. Assess for the influence of cultural beliefs, norms, and values on the client's ability to cope with spiritual distress
How the client copes with spiritual distress may be based on cultural perceptions (Leininger, 1996).
2. Acknowledge the value conflicts from acculturation stresses that may contribute to spiritual distress.
Challenges to traditional beliefs are anxiety provoking and can produce distress (Charron, 1998).
3. Encourage spirituality as a source of support.
African-Americans and Latinos may identify spirituality, religiousness, prayer, and church-based approaches as coping resources (Samuel-Hodge et al, 2000; Bourjolly, 1998; Mapp, Hudson, 1997).
4. Validate the client's spiritual concerns, and convey respect for his or her beliefs.
Validation lets the client know the nurse has heard and understands what was said (Stuart, Laraia, 2001; Giger, Davidhizer,1995).
Client/Family Teaching
1. Teach guided imagery, story telling, meditation, and the use of silence.
Guided imagery, metaphors, meditative prayer, and prayers of silence are effective spiritual approaches the nurse can implement when caring for the patient with cancer (Brown-Saltzman, 1997).
2. Consider using art to express spirituality.
This author tells a personal story about the activity of drawing flowers with her daughter and how it helped to explore spiritual issues (Toomey, 1999).
3. Encourage family and friends to visit and show their concern.
Social networks support spiritual well-being (Young, Dowling, 1987).
4. Encourage family and friends to support client's belief through prayer.
Positive effects of prayer include rapid recovery and prevention of complications (Byrd, 1988).
5. Include directions to hospital chapel when orienting client and family to hospital unit.
Attendance at services and a visit to the chapel may be important to the client and family.
6. Refer client to spiritual advisor of choice.
Nurses must collaborate with chaplains and relate to clergy to provide spiritual care for patients and families (VandeCreek, 1997). Caregivers who use religious or spiritual beliefs to cope with caregiving have a better relationship with care recipients, which is associated with lower levels of depression and role submersion (Chang, Noonan, Tennstedt, 1998).
7. Prepare for chosen religious rituals.
Some religions may have ceremonies associated with healing and illness.
8. Refer to counseling, therapy, support groups, or hospice.
The client may need more support and ongoing spiritual assistance.

I would like to thank Ultimate Health Home for reversing my father's Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Health Home. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can contact them at ultimatehealthhome@gmail.com
I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
Hi, there. I am Tom Neil and I wish to describe how life had been for my younger brother living with schizophrenia and how he had been permanently able to overcome this debilitating disease via a naturopathic, herbal procedure.
Maicon - my kid brother was twenty years old when he was brought to the emergency room by the campus cops of the college from which he had been suspended several months ago. An educator had called and reported that he had walked into his classroom, accused him of taking his tuition money, and refused to leave.
Although he had much academic success as a teenager, his behavior had become increasingly odd during the past year. He quit seeing his friends and no longer seemed to care about his appearance or social pursuits. He began wearing the same clothes each day and seldom bathed. He lived with several family members but rarely spoke to any of them. When he did talk to them, he said he had found clues that his college was just a front for an organized crime operation. He had been suspended from college because of missing many classes. My sister said that she had often seen him mumbling quietly to himself and at times he seemed to be talking to people who were not there. He would emerge from my room and ask my family to be quiet even when they were not making any noise.
My father and sister told the staff that Maicon's great-grandmother had had a serious illness and had lived for 30 years in a state hospital, which they believed was a mental hospital. Our mother left the family when Maicon was very young. She has been out of touch with us, and they thought she might have been treated for mental health problems.
Maicon agreed to sign himself into the psychiatric unit for treatment. The whole family except I had agreed to have Maicon transferred to a mental asylum. I knew inwardly there was still some plausible means by which my kid brother could overcome this condition. I knew botanical means of treatment will be more favorable than any other type of treatment, and as such, I had taken a keen interest in the research of naturopathic alternative measures suitable for the treatment of schizophrenia. I had pleaded for some little patience from the family in the delay of the transfer, I was looking forward to proving a point to the entire family, of a positive botanical remedy for this condition.
It was during my ceaseless search on the internet I had been fortunate enough to come across Dr. Utu Herbal Cure: an African herbalist and witch doctor whose professional works had majored on the eradication of certain viral conditions, especially schizophrenia, ( improving the memory capacity positively), via a traditional, naturopathic process and distinguished diet plan. It was by the administration of this herbal specialist that my brother had been able to improve his condition for better.
Before the naturopathic remedy - Maicon's story had reflected a common case, in which a high-functioning young adult goes through a major decline in day-to-day skills. Although family and friends may feel this is a loss of the person they knew, the illness can be treated and a good outcome is possible.
My brother Maicon is just like many other patients out there suffering from this disease. Although he was able to overcome this condition via a naturopathic herbal remedy administered by this African herbal physician and saved completely thus, rekindling the lost joy which had been experienced by the family members.
I wish to use this opportunity to reach across to anyone who may happen to be diagnosed with this disastrous condition to spread the hope of an everlasting herbal remedy that is capable of imposing a permanent end to this disease.
For more information concerning this naturopathic herbal remedy, feel free to contact this African herbal practitioner via email:
