목적: HIV/AIDS환자의 영적 안녕과 영적 요구 정도를 파악하여 간호실무 면에서 HIV/AIDS 환자의 영적 건강 사정과 영적 간호 중재 방안을 마련하는데 기초 자료를 제공하고자 본 연구를 시도하게 되었다. 방법: HIV/AIDS 환자의 영적 안녕과 영적 요구와의 관계를 파악하기 위한 관계성 조사연구(Correlation Survey Research)이며, 연구 대상은 20세에서 70세 사이의 HIV/ AIDS 환자 51명이다. 결과: 1. HIV/AIDS환자의 영적 안녕 점수는 평균 54.59점이었고, 영적 안녕의 하위 영역인 실존적 안녕은 27.78점, 종교적 안녕은 26.80점으로 모두 중 정도 이상으로 나타났다. 따라서 HIV/AIDS환자들은 자신의 영적인 안녕 상태에 대해 중 정도로 지각하고 있다고 볼 수 있으며, 종교적 안녕보다 실존적 안녕의 점수가 높게 나타났다. 2. HIV/AIDS환자의 영적 요구 점수는 평균 108.67점이고 영역별로는 사랑과 관심에 대한 요구가 37.80점, 의미와 목적을 갈망하는 요구가 42.35점, 용서받고 싶은 요구가 28.51점으로 의미와 목적을 갈망하는 요구, 사랑과 관심에 대한 요구, 용서받고 싶은 요구 순으로 높게 나타났다. 3. 영적 안녕과 영적 요구의 상관 관계에서 HIV/AIDS환자의 총 영적 안녕과 총 영적요구는 약한 순 상관관계를 나타냈다(r=0.344, P=0.013). 영적 안녕의 하위영역인 실존적 안녕과는 통계적으로 유의하지 않게 나타났으며, 종교적 안녕과는 순 상관관계를 보였다. 결론: HIV/AIDS환자의 영적 안녕과 영적 요구는 중 정도 수준 이상으로 나타났으며, 영적 안녕과 영적 요구간의 약한 순 상관관계를 나타냈다. HIV/AIDS환자들은 의미와 목적을 갈망하는 요구도가 높으므로 이에 대한 영적 간호를 제공하여 현재 위기 상태의 경험에서 삶의 의미와 목적을 찾도록 하여 실존적 영적 안녕 정도가 증진되도록 지지하고, 앞으로 대상자 수를 확대한 연구와 영적 안녕을 증진시키는 간호 중재에 대한 연구가 계속되어야 하리라고 사료된다.

Purpose: This study was to investigate relationships among distress, depression, anxiety, and spiritual needs of hospitalized patients with stomach cancer. Methods: The participants were 120 in-patients with stomach cancer for surgery or chemotherapy at C University in Seoul from December 2010 to February 2011. To measure emotional and spiritual states was used Distress management version 1 (National Comprehensive Cancer Network, NCCN), the Hospital anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and the Spiritual Needs Scale. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0, specifically descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe's test, and Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results: Distress showed positive correlations with anxiety (r=.49, p<.001), and depression (r=.44, p<.001). Anxiety showed positive correlations with depression (r=.59, p<.001). While, depression showed negative correlations with spiritual needs (r=-.25, p<.001). Conclusion: This study's findings show that hospitalized patients with stomach cancer experienced distress, anxiety, depression and high spiritual needs. Distress, anxiety, and depression of patients with stomach cancer were positively correlated with each other. While the level of depression was negatively correlated with the level of spiritual needs, indicating the higher the level of depression, the lower the spiritual needs. Therefore, nursing interventions for emotional and spiritual support need to be developed for stomach cancer patients.

Background: Patients' spiritual needs increase drastically after a diagnosis of cancer because of its threatening nature. It is very important to recognize any spiritual crisis. This study aimed to determine needs among Iranian patients with cancer. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was undertaken among 200 patients with cancer referred to Alinasab and Shahid Ghazi Tabatabaie hospitals of Tabriz, Iran. The Spiritual Needs Scale was used for data collection. Results: The mean age of participants was $45.9{\pm}16.4$ years. The majority expressed their main spiritual wishes as "think to God", "trust to God", "see others happy", "try for life beside the disease", "to be prayed for by others', and "need for kindness and help others". Regarding the relationship between demographic characteristics, factors related to disease and the total score of spiritual needs, the results of chi-square tests showed a significant statistical correlations with occupation (p=0.01) and number of children (p=0.03). Also the results of Pearson correlation showed that there is a significant statistical correlation between hospitalization frequency and patients' spiritual needs (p<0.01, r=-0.24). Conclusions: Determination of spiritual needs of patients with cancer in this study can help health carers and especially nurses to design appropriate spiritual care programs based on individual preferences.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the experiences of acute care hospital nurses' on spiritual care with focus group interviews. Methods: Data were collected from 24 nurses recruited from one acute-care hospital in a southern province of Korea. Six focus groups were assembled considering age and religion. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: Five categories with 14 sub-categories emerged: 1) ambiguous concept: confusing terms, an additional job; 2) assessment of spiritual care needs: looking for spiritual care needs, not recognizing spiritual care needs; 3) spiritual care practices: active spiritual care, passive spiritual care ; 4) outcomes of spiritual care: comfort of the recipient, comfort of the provider; and 5) barriers to spiritual care: fear of criticism from others, lack of education, lack of time, space constraints, and absence of a recording system. Conclusion: Participants perceived spiritual care as an uncertain concept. Some participants recognized it as a form of nursing care, and others did not. They practiced spiritual care in acute-care settings according to their personal perceptions of spiritual care. Therefore, in order to perform spiritual nursing in acute-care hospitals, it is a priority for nurses to recognize the concept of spiritual nursing accurately. It is also necessary to prepare a hospital environment suitable for the provision of spiritual care.

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine differences in Spiritual Interests Related to Illness Tool (SpIRIT) scores and the degree of spiritual needs (SNs) between patients with terminal cancer and their primary family caregivers and to compare spiritual needs between them. Methods: The study participants were inpatients with terminal cancer and their primary family caregivers at 40 national hospice centers. The final analysis included 120 SpIRIT surveys from patients and 115 from family members, and 99 SNs questionnaires from patients and 111 from family members. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, the t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and Pearson correlation coefficients. Results: There were no significant between-group differences in SpIRIT scores or SNs. The SpIRIT sub-dimensions that ranked high for both patients and primary family caregivers were "maintaining positive perspective", "loving others", and "finding meaning". The SNs sub-dimensions were ranked identically in both groups, in the order of "love and connection", "hope and peace", "meaning and purpose", respectively. In both groups, the recognition of the importance of spiritual matters and religion were major factors influencing SpIRIT scores and SNs. Conclusion: The SpIRIT scores and degree of SNs of patients with terminal cancer and their primary family caregivers were found to be very closely related, and the needs for coherence and meaning were greater than religious needs. When providing spiritual care for patients with terminal illness, family members should also be considered, and their prioritization of spiritual needs and the importance of spiritual matters and religion shall be taken into account.

This study was designed to clarify how nurses and nursing students perceive their clients' needs for spiritual nursing care, it's practices, and problems. The purpose was to suggest directions for the development of spiritual nursing practice. The major findings are as follows : Respondents primarily perceived spiritual nursing as nursing care designd to help terminally ill patients accept death. Many of the respondents showed a high level of awareness of spiritual nursing care and its necessity. Few of them, however, bad actual experience in spiritual care. Those with experience in spiritual nursing care tend of take either a religious approach or perceived it as the therapeutic use of the self. The greatest problem related to the practice of spiritual care was found to be lack of time. Most of nurses and nursing students were found to be well aware of the needs for spiritual nursing care but were hindered from practising it because of the lack of time. To resolve the problem it was recommended that the scope of nursing practice be readjusted and that pre-and in-service programs should be developed to further heighten nursing students' interest in spiritual nursing care.

본 연구는 도시노인의 외로움 정도와 영적 요구를 파악하고 이들의 관련성을 규명함으로써 심리적인 건강과 영적 건강에 대한 이해를 증진시키고, 영적 돌봄의 필요성을 재확인하여 간호사의 역할 확대 및 노인전문간호사 역할 확립에 기여함은 물론 도시지역 경로대학의 건강 관련 교육프로그램 또는 영적 돌봄 프로그램 개발의 기초자료를 제공하기 위해 실시하였다. 연구대상은 서울시 K구에 거주하면서 S교회 경로대학에 다니고 있는 65세 이상의 노인으로서 의사소통이 가능하고 본 연구에 동참하기를 수락한 노인 159명으로 하였다. 연구결과 대상자의 외로움 정도는 평균 2.02점(4점 만점)이었으며, 영적 요구는 평균 4.51점(5점 만점)으로 조사되었고 사랑과 유대감 영역이 가장 높았다(4.66). 외로움과 영적 요구는 역 상관관계가 있어서(r=-.31, p<.001) 외로움이 클수록 영적 요구도는 낮았고 종교 예식에 참여하는 경우(p=0.032), 80세 이상 생활보조금을 받는 여성의 영적 요구가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 노인들의 외로움을 감소시키기 위한 영적 간호중재 전략이 필요하다.
