Global APN Case Studies in Spirituality: Stories of Hope from the United Kingdom

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Spirituality is not routinely integrated into healthcare practice in he United Kingdom (UK). Many practitioners, when asked, are confused about the definition of spirituality and routinely conflate it with religion. However, when you talk to practitioners about holistic care, they will often use terminology which connects to spirituality, for example person-centred care and compassionate care. This chapter firstly discusses the Advanced Practice nurse role in the UK before exploring how spirituality in healthcare is understood. Two case studies are then presented to illustrate spirituality being integrated into practice by Advanced Nurse Practitioners in a primary care and hospital setting.
