Abstract

This integrative review aimed to identify and investigate how spirituality has been addressed in publications produced by nurses. It was made using the databases Scopus, Wiley Online Library, and Scientific Electronic Library Online, using ‘spirituality’ as the key-word. The following themes were produced: The experience of spirituality in situations of care and illness; Spirituality and the health professional; and Spirituality experienced by caregivers and family members. Spirituality is associated with the search for meaning in life in coping with pain. The importance of developing spirituality in care is stressed, and it is concluded that the majority of nursing publications do not refer, specifically, to spirituality, but that this issue is found in the set of the results.
