초록

Purpose: This study was conducted to explore, describe and understand the experience of spiritual nursing practice among christian nursing students. Methods: Data were collected through reflective journals written by 75 nursing students during their spiritual nursing practice, from March to April, 2012. Data were analyzed by thematic analysis method suggested by Braun and Clarke. Results: The experience of spiritual nursing practice among christian nursing students consisted of four themes: spiritual beginning with anxiety and anticipation, spiritual frustration and dispiritedness, spiritual touch and fulfillment, and spiritual reflection and maturity. Although students commenced the practice uneasy in mind, they managed to learn to connect with their patients spiritually sharing inner intimacy through empathy. Students recognized the importance of spiritual care for their patients, acquiring a holistic perspective for nursing. Through spiritual reflection, students felt rewarded and grew to spiritual maturity. Conclusion: The results suggest that spiritual nursing practice is a valuable way to learn and actualize the holistic nursing practice in students. Since nursing students experienced various spiritual challenges during the practice, more proactive educational interventions need to be developed and implemented to reinforce students’ spirituality.
